Today, we will introduce you to the 2024 Honshi H5, the Chinese competitor to the 2024 BMW 5 Series and 2024 Mercedes E-Class. The Chinese luxury car is based on the Mazda 6 platform.
The automobile industry in China has matured significantly during recent years, when it used to produce only cheap cars, but at a time when absolute luxury reached Chinese cars, and today we are talking about one of the new, very luxurious Honshi cars.
The car whose photos you see in this news article was published online by Wheelsboy is the Hongqi H5.

The Hongqi H5 represents a mid-sized sedan that sits below the flagship Hongqi H9.
FAW, short for First Auto Group, produced the Mazda 6 in China under the FAW-Mazda joint venture. This easily explains the fact that the new H5, launched last year, is actually based on the third-generation Mazda 6 platform. The sedan is slightly shorter than the all-new BMW 5 Series, with a longer wheelbase than the BMW 3 Series.
The model is currently offered in the Chinese market with either a 1.5-liter turbo engine with a power of 166 horsepower, or a two-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine with a power of 221 horsepower. Depending on the engine, customers get either a 7-speed automatic transmission with a double clutch for the weaker engine, while the second engine is connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
For those who want electrified power, there is a 2024 Honshi H5 Hybrid that combines the work of a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor within the Mild Hybrid system, and there is a Plug-in Hybrid PHEV version that includes a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor.
We quickly introduced you to one of the 2024 Chinese luxury cars in Honshi.
