The SAIC H5 (Chinese: 尚界H5; pinyin: Shàngjiè H5) is an upcoming battery electric and range extender compact SUV to be manufactured by SAIC Motor in collaboration with Huawei. It is the first model of the SAIC sub-brand of the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance.
Overview
The H5 is the first model SAIC has developed with Huawei and is a 5-door compact SUV that will be available with all-electric and range-extended powertrains. It is set to launch in September of 2025.[2]
Teasers of the H5 were first shown in July of 2025.[3]
Design
Based on official images, the H5 uses a closed face with a trapezoidal lower air intake and slender headlights. A light bar is also present in the back as well as chrome window frame trim. Compared to other HIMA models the H5 uses conventional door handles.[4]
Features
A 192-wire LiDAR will be featured as standard on the H5. Huawei's ADS 4 ADAS system is also expected to be featured. In the interior Huawei's Harmony cockpit with multi-screen interaction and AI voice assistant will also come standard.[5]
The interior is colored in a shade of beige dubbed Beautiful Apricot and features a 3-spoke steering wheel, a column mounted shifter, very few physical buttons, and a charging pad and two cupholders on the center console. The front seats have a Huawei Link connection point for phones and tablets and are also covered in perforated leather. The H5 has a large panoramic moonroof with an automatic sunshade.[6]
Powertrain
The H5 will only be available in rear-wheel-drive. Lower models receive a 200 horsepower motor, which is also the only motor available with the EREV model. Higher EV models receive a 240 horsepower motor. The EV models will have a range of up to 655 kilometers while the EREV model will have a 1300 kilometer range. Lithium iron phosphate batteries supplied by CATL with an unknown capacity will be utilized. EREV models use a 1.5 liter naturally aspirated inline 4 producing 97 horsepower as a generator.[7]
