When it comes to luxury business MPV, I believe most people will think of Alpha, and watching Toyota in the domestic high-end MPV market "wind and water", as a domestic luxury brand of Hongqi of course can not turn a blind eye, so a code name C095 Hongqi MPV came into being. Following the exposure of road test spy photos, recently, we have obtained more real car maps of Red Flag MPVs from relevant channels.
From the figure, we can see that in addition to the Hongqi MPV, the exposure products also include Hongqi H6 and Hongqi LS7, and these new cars are currently in the "cold zone calibration of the powertrain department". According to previous reports, Hongqi's new MPV, or Q series, is scheduled for trial production in early 2022 and official mass production in June 2022. Next, let's take a look at the strength of the new car.
It is not difficult to find that the new car continues the family design language, the nearly vertical front of the car is extraordinary, the huge straight waterfall grille occupies almost the entire front face, the upper part of the hood also has the iconic "central axis" flag, compared to the Toyota Alpha has more aura, the two sides continue to use the split headlight group, the upper part of the light group and the grille are integrated, with high recognition, while the chrome trim panel is also embellished with diamond-shaped elements, which is more exquisite and highlights the texture of the high-end MPV.
The straight lines make the body more slender and stable, while the electric side sliding doors, rear privacy glass, and suspended roof further enhance the sense of luxury. The five-spoke petal wheels add a little fashion atmosphere, and it is believed that the two-color spliced body will also appear on the Hongqi MPV, focusing on its commercial and high-end sense. The tail of the square is also dignified and atmospheric, the upper part of the tailgate is equipped with a hollow spoiler design, which is very sporty, and the lupine light strip can be seen inside the taillights, which maximizes the luxurious atmosphere.
As for the power, although the official Hongqi has not yet confirmed, but there have been media revealed before, the new car will be equipped with 2.0T and 3.0T two kinds of power, of which the 2.0T engine or matching 48V light hybrid system, the transmission system is 8AT hand automatic transmission. The high-end model will be powered by a 3.0T supercharged V6 engine, drivetrain or a matching 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The parameters will most likely be the same as the Hongqi H9, with a maximum power of 185 kW (252 hp) for a 2.0T engine and a maximum power of 208 kW (283 hp) for a 3.0T engine.
On the whole, the aura of this new MPV of this red flag is not inferior to Toyota Alpha at all, although it is also positioned as high-end, but the price is expected to be much more "conscience" than Elfa. The 2.0T model should compete with large and medium-sized MPVs of joint venture brands such as Buick GL8, Toyota Xena, Kia Kahua, etc., and the price may be between 300,000 and 400,000 yuan. The 3.0T model can wrench a wrist with Alpha, and according to Hongqi's pricing strategy, the starting price is likely to be within 500,000. So, what do you think about the red flag MPV, welcome to leave a comment.
