Test Drive Red Flag HS5: More than feelings.

Speaking of the brand "Red Flag", everyone knows it. However, when it comes to the models owned by Hongqi, many people have "stalled". This is also an embarrassment of the red flag. The brand has a long history and high popularity, but its models are little known ... But in recent years, Hongqi has released many good models, such as H5, H7, H9, HS5 and HS7, which have attracted the attention of many consumers. Today, we test-drive Hongqi HS5, a medium-sized SUV.

As a medium-sized SUV, Hongqi HS5 has a large body size of 4760* 1907* 1700mm and a wheelbase of 2870 mm. The whole system is equipped with a 2.0T engine, matching the 6AT manual gearbox. Mid-to-high-end models also have four-wheel drive versions. The price of Hongqi HS5 is 65,438+08.38-24, 980 yuan.

In terms of appearance, the overall style of Hongqi HS5 is stable and generous, and there will be no feeling of being old-fashioned ~ a large number of family-style designs are adopted, which is highly recognizable. For example, a large area of chrome-plated front mesh, red flag decoration on the hood, and "red flag" Chinese logo on the rear of the car.

In terms of interior, Hongqi HS5 controls the atmosphere of the whole interior very well, and the overall style is stable, luxurious and yet atmospheric. The whole interior also uses a lot of soft interior and quilted leather. Hongqi HS5 is equipped with electronic shift lever, electronic handbrake, mode dial, 12.3 inch LCD instrument panel, central control large screen, HUD head-up display and other configurations, which has a good driving experience. However, the air-conditioning buttons use touch buttons, and the operation feedback is not as good as the physical buttons, which is inconvenient for blind operation during driving.

Thanks to the wheelbase of 2870mm, the space in the back row of Hongqi HS5 is very sufficient, and it is no problem for me, a 200-pound fat man, to cross my legs in the back row. Of course, on this level of SUV, the rear air conditioning outlet, rear USB and 12V power supply are definitely standard.

In terms of configuration, the configuration and distribution of Hongqi HS5 is still very conscientious. The whole system comes standard with electronic handbrake, automatic parking, keyless entry, one-button start, side airbag, side air curtain, cruise control, full LCD instrument panel, central control large screen, main and auxiliary driving electric seats, far and near light LED and other configurations. Moreover, judging from the middle allocation of 199800, there are parallel auxiliary, active braking, 360 panoramic image, reversing side early warning, panoramic sunroof, electric tailgate, BOSE? 12 stereo, seat heating and ventilation, etc. , cost-effective, highly recommended. There are also variable suspension, adaptive cruise, lane keeping, automatic parking, seat memory, shift paddles and other configurations on the top model. The configuration is quite high.

In the actual driving process, FAW with 2.0T engine has sufficient power, and the power of 224 HP /340N.m has a good power performance in both urban areas and high-speed overtaking. The gearbox of 6AT has good smoothness and timely shifting. However, due to the gear, you can still feel the shift action when driving fiercely.

The Red Flag HS5 is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension, and the overall adjustment of the chassis surprised me, combining the stability of German cars with the comfort of Japanese cars. In some high-speed driving, the chassis feedback gives people a solid and steady feeling, while in some small and bumpy sections, there is no "hard" feeling, but there is a soft taste of Japanese cars, which can feel that engineers have made great efforts in tuning up. And the steering wheel has good directivity and feel. Although there is no virtual position like a sports car, it also refers to where to play and has good directivity.

However, during the test drive, we also found several shortcomings of HS5. The comfort of the chassis is good, but the comfort of the seat is average. The seat of Red Flag HS5 is hard, and the wrapping is general. After doing it for a while, people will feel a little backache. Also, the damping of the mode knob is too small, so it is easy to accidentally touch it and switch to other modes. In the process of shooting, we accidentally met because of the interior shooting, and then ran on the road in "off-road mode".

On the whole, Hongqi HS5 is a model suitable for 30-50 age groups. Compared with the compact joint venture SUV with the same price, it has the characteristics of large space, sufficient power and high configuration. And the overall driving comfort (except seat comfort) will not be worse than CRV, Qi Jun, Tan Yue and other models, but it is worth considering. Here, if you buy Red Flag HS5, start with 199800? Zhilianqi enjoys the configuration of the version, because it is cost-effective, and all configurations are basically complete ~
