Mid-range HK HS5 SUV now available in Vietnam, starting at the same price as Hyundai Tucson.

The Hongqi (Hongqi) car brand from China is now well-known in Vietnam. The brand currently distributes 2 models in Vietnam, which are H9 and E-HS9. Recently, another Hongqi car was introduced in Vietnam, which is HS5.

In the Vietnamese market, the Hongqi HS5 has 3 versions: Basic, Comfortable, and Flagship. The prices of these 3 versions are 780 million, 820 million, and 870 million Vietnamese dong respectively. Therefore, although this model is positioned in the mid-size SUV segment, its price is equivalent to that of C-segment SUVs such as the Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-5, and Ford Territory.

It should also be mentioned that the Hongqi HS5 sold in Vietnam belongs to the old version, which was launched in 2019. Last year, this model was supplemented with a new version in the Chinese market.

The Hongqi HS5 has dimensions of 4,760 x 1,907 x 1,700 mm (length x width x height) and a wheelbase of 2,870 mm. With these dimensions, the car competes against the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Mazda CX-8 in Vietnam.

Designed by Italian company Italdesign, the old Hongqi HS5 features a large grille with chrome slats arranged in a waterfall design. On both sides of the grille are compact LED headlights and integrated LED daytime running lights. Additionally, the car has quite large fog lights with 4 bulbs located on the front bumper corners.

Between the grille and the hood is a red logo inspired by the distinctive flag of the Hongqi brand. The front mudguard area is also decorated with similar details.

Furthermore, the Hongqi HS5 features prominent crease lines that extend from the front mudguards to the taillights, 20-inch dual-tone alloy wheels with a sporty 6-double-spoke design, and Michelin 255/45R20 tires.

At the rear, the car is equipped with horizontal taillights connected by a chrome strip. Meanwhile, the rear bumper comes with 2 rectangular fake chrome exhaust tips.

To create a premium feel, this Chinese model has many chrome details on the exterior including the grille, strips on the front bumper/rear bumper/side of the car, as well as silver roof rails and shark fin antenna.

Despite its long wheelbase, the Hongqi HS5 is only equipped with 2 rows of seats and can accommodate 5 passengers. The seats are wrapped in leather and faux suede to enhance the luxurious feel.

In front of the driver is a flat-bottomed steering wheel with integrated function buttons and paddle shifters. Next to it is a digital instrument cluster connected to the central touch screen. The car also comes with a panoramic sunroof, electronic parking brake, automatic air conditioning, rear seat air vents, and a head-up display for the driver.

The “heart” of the Hongqi HS5 in Vietnam is a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with a maximum power of 224 horsepower and a peak torque of 340 Nm. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The car is also equipped with an adaptive air suspension system.

In Vietnam, the Hongqi HS5 is available in 3 colors: black, white, and sandy gold. Sales consultants at the dealership said that the car will be delivered before the Lunar New Year.
