Recently, we learned from relevant channels that the Hongqi flagship SUV Hongqi LS7 is expected to open pre-sale in mid-to-late March. As the brand's largest SUV model, the Hongqi LS7 has attracted much attention since the official map was released, and the new car is also expected to be equipped with a 4.0T V8 twin-turbo engine independently developed by Hongqi.
Combined with the previously exposed spy photos, the new car adopts a family-style front face, the size of the forward grille is very large, and the chrome material modification gives people a strong aura. The red lines in the center of the grille echo the side logo, such a design seems to be only the red flag can be controlled, only this domestic brand, the only luxury brand can be controlled, the solemn and mighty temperament is directly pulled full.
The side shape of the new car is square, and the front fenders and the center cover of the rim are also designed with fluttering red flags and sunflower elements, which are also displayed on the Hongqi flagship sedan L5, which shows the status of this SUV.
In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 5645/2095/1985 mm, and a wheelbase of 3309 mm.
The Hongqi LS7 adopts a through-type taillight group design, and is accompanied by a chrome trim strip that runs through the rear of the car, and also has a design shadow similar to "palace lights". The large amount of chrome trim on the rear enclosure also echoes the front face, but its exhaust system is not reflected, or it is a hidden design.
In terms of power, the Hongqi LS7 may be equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine independently developed by Hongqi. The maximum power is 265 kW, the maximum speed of 200 km / h, such a big guy, or a big V8, fuel consumption is not too demanding.
Positioned as the family's flagship model, the LS7 will be the highlight of the Faw-hongqi brand in 2022. In terms of volume, it has surpassed Rolls-Royce Cullinan. In terms of price, in addition to the hongqi itself, the Beijing BJ90 is also a product positioned as a large SUV, which is priced at 998-128.8 million yuan, and the price of the Hongqi LS7 should be close, or even only high, and the price of BJ90 is about 50% off the guide price.
Independent brands in the field of large SUVs are basically in the "0", the market has long been occupied by Japanese American and a small number of German models, Hongqi LS7 is about to achieve a breakthrough in this field, can be seen as a progress of independent brands.
In fact, according to the positioning of the LS7 model, many people thought that it may be a Hongqi "HS9" model, which already has an E-HS9, and the LS7 with a close physique is considered to be the boss of the HS series. However, it was named LS7, which was classified as the "L series", which shows its position in the Hongqi model.
We do not deny the gap with joint ventures and foreign brands, indeed, although we have just gained a foothold in some low-end model markets such as the compact market, and there are still few achievements in the mid-to-high-end market, but our pioneering and innovative spirit will not be frustrated by too difficult.
