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 H5 is only 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 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. EREV models use a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated inline 4 codenamed 15FMC producing 97 horsepower as a generator.[15]
