The resemblance to European racing cars is great but fortunately this Chinese luxury car seems anything but a plagiarism: this is what makes it so attractive to the public of nabobs who could buy it.
Even after years, Chinese cars have a bad reputation in our country, above all due to the “sly tricks” carried out by brands whose names it is better not to mention who for a long time, certain of never actually landing on the European market one day, have built cars at home that are blatant plagiarisms of much more famous cars in the Western world. Here is the future of oriental luxury! (Canva) – Mondofuoristrada.it
However, Chinese houses do not always produce plagiarism: we have so many examples now That these houses like BYD and SAIC, they compete to enter the European market of manufacturers who put their imagination to the test by creating absolutely original and completely new cars compared to what is on the market. Today’s car could be a good example, even if in fact there are some similarities with its more famous rivals.
The manufacturing company Hongqi in China is very famous while with us like many other colleagues it is an unknown: today we will discover his representative car which could make the rich people of our country happy if they ever got bored of Mercedes-Benz, Maserati and Rolls Royce to try something more oriental! Let’s see how it’s done.
Here’s how it’s done
From an aesthetic point of view, the new one Hongqi H5 it is a representative sedan like others, equipped with an elegant line – which for once does not recall more famous models – and an imposing front grille which slightly recalls the Cadillac CT-S or a Rolls Royce even if as we have mentioned, the car However, it has its own well-defined personality and isn’t too reminiscent of these cars. Is the Hongqi H5 the future here too? (Hongqi) – Mondofuoristrada.it
The interior of the car is quite tidy as well as elegant, with the Hongqi brand symbol embossed on the steering wheel, seats covered in gray leather and above all a front monitor in a vertical rather than horizontal position which arranges the on-board instruments in a more logical way. The car is long about five metresmaking it suitable for the city only if the driver has to park it.
Under the hood we find a 166 or 210 horsepower engine, depending on the setup chosen with the latter making the car reach one hundred kilometers per hour in seven and a half seconds. Alternatively, we have a hybrid powertrain. The strong points of the car? The Mazda 6 platform it uses is tested and reliable, the engine is not boring at all and above all, in China it is sold for the equivalent of around 30 thousand Euros, a pittance for a sedan of this type!
