A few days ago, the Internet exposed a set of Hongqi Powertrain Department cold area calibration and launch ceremony spy photos, although the spy photos are few, but the amount of information is extremely large, they can represent the new cars that Hongqi Automobile will release or list in 2022. Among them, there are three models, an SUV, an MPV, a sedan, the SUV is the Hongqi LS7, as the flagship SUV of the Hongqi, the Hongqi LS7 is 5642mm long and has a wheelbase of 3309mm, which is a full-size (large) SUV, which will be equipped with a 4.0T twin-turbo engine independently developed by Hongqi, with a maximum power of 360 horsepower, which is the largest displacement engine in the domestic brand. The sedan is Hongqi H6, which is positioned between Hongqi H5 and Hongqi H7, and is responsible for improving sales performance. The internal code name of MPV is C095, and after listing, it will go head-to-head with the mid-to-high-end MPV in the domestic market.
Today, we will take a good look at this new MPV of Hongqi. The "1" in the spy photo is the red flag LS7, the "2" is the red flag MPV, and the "3" is the red flag H6. Although the spy photo is disguised, its design style can still be seen through the details. The front face of Hongqi MPV adopts a large area of straight waterfall type middle net design, the headlights adopt a split design, the LED daytime running lights are U-shaped arrangement, and the entire front face shape is very close to Hongqi H9. Because the body size of the Hongqi MPV is larger, the lines are fuller, and the front face shape looks more coordinated.
This is the new car hypothetical drawing drawn by the relevant media before, and through comparison, it can be found that the hypothetical picture has a high degree of restoration of spy photos, especially the front face design, which is basically the same. The blessing of the two-color body makes the Hongqi MPV appear more atmospheric than the Toyota Alpha. This car level will not be low, it should be a medium and large MPV, and Toyota Alpha, Buick GL8, Volkswagen Weiran the same level, according to the red flag cautious pricing strategy to speculate, its price should be similar to the Buick GL8, the starting price will be less than 300,000 yuan, competitiveness is still very strong. So, do you think it will affect the sales of the Buick GL8 after it goes public?
In the side part of the car, the Hongqi MPV adopts a streamlined design of front high and low back, and the transition between the roof and the tail window is very smooth, and there will be no sense of incongruity. It also features a dual electric side sliding door design to facilitate the boarding and disembarking of passengers in the car. The rear part of the car, because the road test camouflage spy photo is not even installed on the rear bumper, its tail light is also a temporary component, there is no reference value, there is not much evaluation. It is reported that The Hongqi MPV will be officially introduced to the market in 2022.
Powerly, since the Hongqi MPV is a volume model, it is unlikely to be equipped with the 4.0T engine on the Hongqi LS7, we expect that it will be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, and the power specifications will either follow the 224 horsepower/340 Nm on the Hongqi HS5, or follow the 252 horsepower/380 Nm on the Hongqi H9, and the transmission system is either a 6AT transmission or a 7DCT dual-clutch transmission. Of course, it is not ruled out that it will launch a 3.0T model, after all, the Hongqi H9 also has a 3.0T model.
Well, that's all. So, what do you think about Hongqi's new MPV? Comments are welcome in the comment area.
