On the occasion of the opening of the Shanghai Auto Show, we obtained the new generation Hongqi L5 promotional poster from the Internet. Previously, spy photos of the new car have been exposed. Judging from the pictures, the new L5 still continues the retro design of the current model, and the interior is rich in luxurious configurations.
From the appearance point of view, the new L5 still continues the retro design of the current model, and can even be said to be loyal to the design essence of previous Hongqi models. However, compared with the current L5, the vertical height of the straight waterfall grille is further expanded, the front bumper is integrated into the front shape, and the integrated U-shaped air intake is equipped with vertical LED fog lights on both sides, making the visual effect more modern. . The side shape has changed a lot. Not only has the length and wheelbase been further lengthened, but the rear door is also longer than the current model.
The design of the side of the body does not seem to have changed much, but it can be felt that the size of the body has been lengthened. It is worth mentioning that there is also a small triangular window decoration (light-proof) arranged behind the side door, which means that the rear seats are moved further back to ensure privacy. The shape of the rim is also more fashionable and trendy. The semi-enclosed design is matched with the dense spoke style that bites up and down, echoing the golden sunflower LOGO. The biggest change at the rear is that the palace lantern-style taillights are no longer at both ends of the rear of the car, but moved inward, making the entire car look wider. At the same time, the bottom of the current model has a total of four round exhaust outlets on both sides, and it has also become a flat style with a total of two exhaust outlets on both sides.
The interior has also become more mainstream, with the entire center console using a through-type dual screen. In addition, the interior materials of the entire car are exquisite, the workmanship is exquisite, and the color matching is luxurious. One detail worth noting is that the switch on the side of the air outlet has been changed to the same pull-out design as Rolls-Royce. The rear seats have also been re-optimized, with rich control buttons on the door panels and armrests, and integrated electric leg rests on both sides.
In terms of power, the current model is equipped with a 6.0L V12 engine, and there is no official news on whether the new model will continue to use this power system. However, the Hongqi LS7 currently uses a 4.0T V8 powertrain, and the new car may also be equipped with this powertrain. We will continue to pay attention to the specific news.
