The car will become the first mass-produced SUV of the Red Flag brand, with a 2.0T engine, a maximum power of 224hp and a six-speed automatic gearbox.

Red Flag brand from the launch of H5 models, positioning and price into the "people-friendly" route, with a number of joint venture brands to compete. As the first medium-sized SUV made by Red Flag, it is not difficult to see from its overall design that it is the mass production version of the Red Flag U-Concept concept car launched at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show. The new car follows the Red Flag family styling style, uses multi-spoke air intake grille, and the central decorative strip uses red throughout the design, which is unified with the front logo. The front face modeling of the Red Flag brand has always been somewhat domineering and has a high degree of recognition.

There is nothing special about the rest. The size of the body, the length, width and height of the new car are 4760/1907/1700mm, and the wheelbase is 2870mm.

Since Mercedes-Benz used the through-and-through large screen design, many brands have followed suit. The interior of Red Flag HS5 is also used in this way, and the bottom is equipped with an electronic handle. The steering wheel did not appear before the word "red flag" logo, but the latest red flag car logo design.

In terms of power, the car is equipped with a 2.0T engine of model CA4GC20TD-32, with a maximum power of 224hp (165kW) and meets the sixth national emission standard. The gearbox is a six-speed automatic gearbox.

Overall sales reached 13300 in the first quarter of this year, an increase of more than 78% over the same period last year. The listing of HS5 SUV is of great help to expand the product line of the Red Flag brand and further step into the people-friendly line, and it is also an important step for FAW to revive the Red Flag brand.
