The Hongqi E-QM5 (Chinese: 红旗E-QM5) is a battery electric compact executive sedan produced by Chinese automobile manufacturer Hongqi, a subsidiary of FAW Group.[3][4]

Overview

Hongqi E-QM5 rear
Interior

The Hongqi E-QM5 was first shown at the 2021 Haikou International New Energy Vehicle and Connected Mobility Show.[5]

The E-QM5 shares the underpinnings of the Hongqi H5 gasoline-powered sedan with MacPherson struts at the front end and multi-link suspension at the rear, and dimensions of 5,040×1,910×1,569 mm (198.4×75.2×61.8 in), with a 2,990 mm (118 in) wheelbase.[6]

A battery-swap-enabled version called E-QH5 was also planned.[7]

Performance

The Hongqi E-QM5 has a single electric motor that drives the front axle with 100 kW (134 hp; 136 PS), and NEDC-rated driving range of 431 kilometres (268 mi) supported by a 55 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack produced by Chongqing Fudi.[8][9] Reports suggests that later versions of the model could be equipped with blade batteries supplied by BYD.[10][4]

Design

The exterior design was done under the lead by ex-Rolls-Royce design head Giles Taylor, who has been hired by the Chinese automaker Hongqi since his departure from Rolls-Royce from 2019.[5]
