Released in 2013 at the Shanghai Auto Show, the L5 is renowned for currently being the most expensive Chinese-made car ever available for purchase, at CN¥5 million Renminbi (US$800,000 UK£580,000). It is the official state car of China, as it is used by Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The sedan is currently offered only in China.

A handful of first generation L5s have been exported to Belarus via donations, where they are used by the Belarusian military as a parade car, first being debuted at the 2015 Minsk Victory Day Parade.

In 2016 Hongqi announced a V8 version of the L5, powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 381 horsepower (284 kW; 386 PS) with an eight-speed automatic. The 6-litre V12 model is designated as CA7600 and the V8 version as CA7400. The CA7400 was released in 2017.

The L5 has three variants: the civilian, official state car and parade car. It has a length of 5.555m, five being a lucky number in Chinese culture.
