Auto-First| When Liu Tianming from Changchun mentions the Red Flag brand, what do you think of first? Is it a red-flag car written into the history of China's automobile industry, a red-flag parade car appearing in the military parade, or a "national car" that can be seen everywhere? In the past four years, Hongqi brand has gained the favor of nearly 700,000 users with a 63-fold leap-forward sales growth.

At the same time, the new Hongqi brand is gradually building an H series product matrix focusing on mainstream cars, an L series product matrix focusing on premium cars, a Q series product matrix focusing on commercial vehicles and an S series product matrix targeting the sports car market segment.

No matter painting, poetry, porcelain or architecture, we can see the beauty of symmetry and integrate seriousness and solemnity, balance and stability into it.

At night, the red through flag is lit to make the new car more recognizable.

The brand-new red flag H5 follows the model of big brother H9, and adopts the design of chrome-plated front air intake grille and vertical banner, supplemented by daytime running lights on both sides. In the classic straight waterfall grille of the new red flag, 12 grilles are arranged at one time, representing 12 months, and the number of squares on the lower bumper is 12, symbolizing 12 hours.

The side shape of the car body is similar to the red flag H9, and the curved surface is like the wind blowing over the flag, which makes the atmosphere more calm. The back of the waistline is still high at the front and low at the back, and it extends forward to outline a slight dive posture, which has both the boldness of vision of "breaking the waves" and the momentum of "helping the sea directly".

The tail design of the new red flag H5 still follows the design aesthetics of China. The classic China decorative strip of Hongqi has evolved into three levels, echoing the front face, that is, the part below the taillight, the big profile of the whole tail and the position of the lower bumper, which still brings rhythmic beauty to the layering, which coincides with the three talents of "heaven and earth". Taillight modeling adopts family design language, and the feathered internal structure of the wing echoes the front face.

Entering the car, the classic red flag embracing building centered on drivers and passengers comes into view. This kind of building echoes the intention of flapping wings and the central axis layout adopted in the design. The front trim of the co-pilot from dense to sparse adds a sense of luxury and fun.
