the hongqi brand has made great progress in recent years. the entire civilian product line has become more and more abundant, and its sales volume has grown to second only to bba.
in 2023, hongqi released the all in new energy strategy and began a comprehensive transformation, and hongqi hs7 phev is the first batch of results.
after transitioning to new energy sources, has hongqi hs7 phev maintained the luxury level of the hongqi brand?
01. what are the characteristics of the appearance?
the wheelbase of the hongqi hs7 phev is 2920mm and the vehicle length is nearly 5m. it is a typical medium to large suv size.
the appearance is not much different from the fuel version. the huge grille on the front brings a strong aura, and the vertical red logo in the middle is really the finishing touch.
the double waistline design used on the side of the body eliminates the rigidity that may be caused by the large size and makes the body posture lighter. the rear design echoes the front and is full of the beauty of traditional luxury cars.
hongqi is a luxury brand in china. it has long been used as a government car and as a reception vehicle for foreign guests. it is not an exaggeration to say that hongqi is the face of china's automobile industry.
therefore, hongqi hs7 phev has its own halo, a sense of national certification and decency.
whether it is for home use or business reception, hongqi hs7 phev is more restrained and stylish than bba models of the same level.
no matter what the occasion, you can feel that the car owner is a person with taste and affection.
02. how is the interior and space experience?
the interior layout of hongqi hs7 phev is very distinctive. the entire instrument panel is symmetrically distributed, giving it a feeling of a roc spreading its wings.
once you sit in the car, you will immediately be surrounded by a large area of genuine leather.
the cabin has a sophisticated and sophisticated luxury. the fusion of different materials is just right, making the car owner's visual and tactile comfort.
some physical buttons are retained in the car, such as one-button start, gear handle, etc., which will better match the usage habits of gas truck users.
there are dual 40w wireless fast charging in the front row, keeping up with the trend of the times.
the new car provides two seat layouts, 6-seater and 7-seater, which are especially suitable for families with many people.
the second row is particularly spacious, and the floor is almost completely flat, making the head and legs comfortable.
the qichang version also provides heated seats in the second row. it is a pity that there is no ventilation and massage, but dynaudio audio is standard in the entire series.
the third row of seats is not cramped and can be used for short distances. moreover, when the third row seats are folded down, they can form a flat platform with the trunk, with a volume of up to 1847 liters. tents, supplies, children's toys, etc. needed for long-distance self-driving or outdoor use can be easily accommodated.
there are 27 storage spaces in the car, and there is even a drawer under the second-row air conditioning control panel. the practicality of the hongqi hs7 phev is indeed very good.
03. how is the performance of the powertrain?
we know that hongqi is currently the only brand in the chinese market equipped with v8 and v12. power is a necessity for high-end models. hongqi hs7 phev also retains this feature.
the powertrain adopts a p1+p3+p4 configuration and uses a 2.0t high-power hybrid special engine. the thermal efficiency is as high as 44.42% and the high-efficiency area accounts for ≥70%. it is also one of the top ten models of the "china heart" in 2023.
paired with the hdu35 dual-motor hybrid special transmission, the maximum motor speed reaches 20,000r/min.
it only takes 6.8 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers, and the fuel consumption is 6.32l/100km.
there is a question here, why does hongqi use a 2.0t engine? judging from the product definition of hongqi hs7 phev, all-weather and undifferentiated high-performance power experience is the focus of the luxury brand.
for example, if the user has an emergency and needs to run a long distance, he does not need to care about the level of battery. even if he encounters continuous climbing sections, the 2.0t engine can provide sufficient power generation at any time, or directly drive the vehicle.
for a medium to large suv, if it is still full, the 1.5t extended range or hybrid may lack power, and the feed fuel consumption will be higher.
hongqi hs7 phev can meet the extreme demand of delivering official documents thousands of miles anytime and anywhere. this is the strength that a luxury car should have.
04. what is the level of intelligence?
the smart cockpit of hongqi hs7 phev consists of a 12.6-inch central control screen and a 12.3-inch lcd instrument. the high-end flag collar version also has an ar-hud head-up display system.
the logic design of the vehicle system is very practical, and most high-frequency operations can be implemented in only 2 steps at most.
voice control adopts the industry-leading iflytek technology, and 13 major categories of functions, including windows, sunroofs, seat heating, hud, ambient lights, tire pressure monitoring, etc., can be directly adjusted through voice.
it is worth mentioning that the hud has a projection distance of 7.5 meters and a projection area of 70 inches. all driving information needed for driving can be displayed on it. therefore, users only need to focus on driving and do not need to worry about other operations.
in terms of intelligent driving, hongqi hs7 phev comes standard with l2-level assisted driving, including adaptive cruise, lane keeping, automatic emergency braking, merging assist, lane departure warning and many other functions.
in high-speed conditions, it can effectively reduce driver fatigue intensity. in particular, the full-speed adaptive cruise function of the flag collar version can automatically accelerate, decelerate, and even brake according to the situation of the vehicle in front.
in urban areas with many people and vehicles, merging assist and lane departure warning can warn drivers of the dangers of blind spots.
the hongqi hs7 phev is large in size, and these functions can effectively assist the driver and make driving no longer a burden.
05. is the security reassuring?
safety is the greatest luxury. this is not a slogan, but a standard that hongqi has always practiced. hongqi hs7 phev meets both c-ncap five-star and c-iasi g-level safety standards. the body's high-strength steel accounts for 74% and hot-formed steel accounts for 19%.
when a collision occurs, the skeleton structure of the 9h4m has more paths to transmit the impact, avoiding the collision energy from the passenger compartment and better protecting the people in the vehicle.
battery safety is the top priority for new energy sources, and hongqi hs7 phev pioneered active precision spray technology. even if the battery experiences thermal runaway due to a collision, it can be quickly and automatically extinguished and will not cause a fire due to damage to the battery.
the active safety configuration is also very complete. hongqi hs7 phev has as many as 12 functions, and the flag collar version even has rear collision warning.
the more commonly used aeb active emergency braking system has a working range of 8-90 km/h, which just covers the speed range used for daily commuting.
at intersections, the aeb function can effectively avoid ghost probes or sudden two-wheeled electric vehicles, and is particularly effective in preventing small scratches.
the current car purchase price starts from rmb 259,800, and you can also participate in the "super hybrid special" welfare activity, including a replacement subsidy of up to rmb 20,000, lifetime free warranty (including three-electric system), and free service within 4 years/100,000 kilometers. maintenance and other discount information are quite cost-effective.
conclusion
for true luxury brands, it's not the form of energy that matters, or even the configuration.
rolls-royce does not need to explain to others which car uses internal combustion engines and which cars use electric motors. what is important is the high level of product strength and recognition brought by the brand.
hongqi hs7 phev is equipped with a new powertrain to ensure strong power while reducing fuel consumption.
the comprehensive strength is higher than that of fuel vehicles. more importantly, the characteristics of the hongqi brand have been completely preserved. whether it is for business or home use, it is still the aura-filled hongqi.
