Design

Unlike most electric cars that were electronic semi-hidden or hidden handles or any other HIMA models, the H5 uses a conventional and mechanical door handles due to safety concerns.[12]

A 192-wire LiDAR is featured as standard on the H5. Huawei's Qiankun 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 also come standard.[13]
One of the H5's interior colors is 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.[14]

The EV models have a range of up to 655 kilometers while the EREV model will have a 1300 kilometer range. It uses LFP batteries supplied by CATL.
