FactChina's storied state limousine brand built this sedan on a surprisingly humble foundation: the same platform underneath the third-generation Mazda6, built locally via FAW-Mazda's joint venture.
The Hongqi H5, positioned under the H7 full-size luxury car, was previewed as a concept at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show and debuted in production that year at Guangzhou, replacing the Bestune B90; it shares its platform with the third-generation Mazda 6/Atenza built by FAW-Mazda. The 2018 model year offered only a 1.8-litre turbo four making 178 hp (180 PS) and 184 lb-ft through a 6-speed automatic; for 2020 that engine gained a 48V mild-hybrid system for 197 hp (200 PS) and 236 lb-ft, alongside a new 1.5-litre turbo at 169 hp (171 PS) and 190 lb-ft through a 7-speed DCT. A second generation with H9-derived styling followed in 2022. Front-wheel drive; wheelbase 2,875 mm (113.2 in), length 4,945 mm (194.7 in), width 1,845 mm (72.6 in), height 1,470 mm (57.9 in).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
