The Xinghai T5 is a versatile electric SUV aimed at practical families. It features a modern "Fluid Aesthetics" design with signature "7-shaped" LED headlights. While categorized as a compact SUV, its clever EV-platform packaging provides a 2730mm wheelbase, offering rear legroom that rivals larger mid-size SUVs. It focuses on being an "all-rounder" for commuting, family trips, and weekend outdoor activities.
The 2026 Xinghai T5 marks a significant step in Dongfeng Forthing’s transition to the "Xinghai" new energy series, joining the V9 MPV and S7 sedan.
Space & Versatility: One of the T5's strongest selling points is its "Space Magic." With a flat floor and a best-in-class wheelbase-to-length ratio, it provides 910mm of distance between the front and rear seats. The rear trunk is highly flexible, expanding to over 1200 liters, and the car includes 37 dedicated storage compartments throughout the cabin.
Battery & Efficiency: The vehicle is equipped with the Armor Battery 3.0 (64.4 kWh), which uses specialized thermal insulation and high-strength casing to pass extreme safety tests (including needle-puncture). Its energy management system is highly optimized, achieving a low consumption of 13.8 kWh per 100km, which significantly lowers daily running costs.
Smart Features & Tech: The cockpit is powered by the latest intelligent OS on a 13-inch 2K floating touchscreen. It features an AI-driven voice assistant (supported by large language models like DeepSeek-R1 for complex queries). For outdoor enthusiasts, the Xinghai T5 supports 3.3kW V2L (Vehicle-to-Load), allowing you to power external appliances like electric grills or projectors during camping trips.
Chassis & Safety: Unlike many entry-level SUVs that use a torsion beam, the Xinghai T5 is equipped with a Multi-link Independent Rear Suspension, providing a more refined ride and better handling stability. Safety is bolstered by a high-rigidity body (75% high-strength steel) and a suite of L2-level driver assistance features.
