In terms of body, the 2022 Hongqi H9 adopts a "9H" cage body, the application of large area of high-strength steel, ultra-high-strength thermoformed steel plate, the proportion of high-strength steel reached 67.7%, through the longitudinal beam, B-pillar and other stable combination to form 9 H-shaped structure, the strength of the body and safety is not said. In terms of passive safety, Hongqi H9 is equipped with 8 airbags as standard, and in terms of active safety, Hongqi H9 provides anti-collision warning, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring, intelligent lighting and so on.

Hongqi H9 | Configure variance analysis
The starting price of the Hongqi H9 is 309,800 yuan, which is 100,000 cheaper than the "5, 6, E", but from the perspective of configuration and power, the entry-level version almost reaches the level of Mercedes-Benz E 300 L and BMW 530Li. 2.0T models obviously have a very high quality-price ratio, and 2.0T models and 3.0T models corresponding to the target group may be quite different, let's take a look at the details of the configuration.
The lowest 2.0T Zhilian Flag Yue Edition of the whole series is priced at 309,800 yuan, which just needs to be equipped with basic equipment, and even reaches the configuration level of the "5, 6, E" model. In terms of power, the 2.0T engine has 252 horsepower, which reaches the high power level of A6L and 5 Series 2.0T. In terms of configuration, the 2.0T SmartLink Banner Yue Edition has practical functions such as 18-inch rims, electric trunk opening, keyless entry in the front, leather steering wheel with electric adjustability, dual 12.3-inch screens, voice recognition, BOSE audio, matrix headlights and independent air conditioning in the rear. The above functions have basically reached the level of this level, so we still gave 4 stars as a recommendation index for the entry-level model. However, you have spent 300,000 yuan, are you sure you will not spend more than 20,000 to see the low-end model?
On the basis of the entry-level model, you can spend an extra 20,000 yuan to get the 2.0T Zhilian Flag Edition model. Don't underestimate this 20,000 yuan, the added configuration is not old or young! The 2.0T SmartLink Edition has been upgraded with the following configurations: 19-inch rim, sensor wipers, laminated glass, steering wheel position memory, 253-color mood lights, a number of driver assistance functions (parallel assist, lane keeping, etc.), 360 panoramic images, front seat heating and ventilation, rear seat power adjustment and other functions. The 2.0T SmartLink Flag Edition has greatly improved in terms of comfort configuration and assisted driving, and this 20,000 yuan is very valuable. At the same time, from the perspective of the entire configuration of the 2.0T Zhilian Flag Sharing Edition, it has basically met all the needs of daily cars.
The top model of the 2.0T is the 2.0T Zhilian Flag Chang version, which is 40,000 yuan more expensive than the 2.0T Zhilian Flag Enjoy Edition. So where have these 40,000 pieces been raised? First of all, at the assisted driving level, the ACC full-speed domain adaptive cruise is introduced, which also makes it easier for the driver to drive at high speeds. Also added are automatic parking, steering wheel heating, HUD, front seat massage, rear seat comfort four-piece set (leg rest adjustment, heating, ventilation, massage), streaming mirrors, adaptive far/low beam configuration. 40,000 yuan or mainly reflected in the assisted driving and comfort dimensions, if you have a higher search for these two items, then the 2.0T Zhilian Flag Edition is of course a very good choice, but the configuration of the 2.0T Zhilian Flag Enjoy Edition is already very top, and this 40,000 pieces need to be carefully considered. The recommended index we finally gave to the 2.0T Zhilian Banner version was 4 stars.
From the four-cylinder model into the V6 era, the price is naturally not cheap, Hongqi H9's 3.0T entry-level model 3.0T Zhilian Flag Chang Version needs 459,800 yuan, which is 90,000 yuan more expensive than the 2.0T Zhilian Flag Chang Version. In addition to the configuration air suspension of the "old money", the 3.0T Zhilian Flag Version adds 14-speaker BOSE audio with active noise cancellation function, Bluetooth key and other functions on the basis of the 2.0T Zhilian Flag Version. The 3.0T Zhilian Flag Chang version can spend an extra 29,800 yuan to upgrade the two-color body, which is the same as the 2.0T Zhilian Flag Chang version. Overall, the increase of 90,000 yuan is mainly reflected in the 3.0T engine and air suspension, and we give 4 stars to recommend.
The top model is priced at 539,800 yuan, but despite this, we still gave a recommendation index of 4 stars because the car is too luxurious! The 3.0T Zhilian flag collar four-seat version of the top of the series adopts a 2+2 seat layout, paying more attention to business attributes, four electric suction doors + keyless entry, imitation suede inner top, one-button rewind function of the rear seat, 20-inch wheel rim, two-color body, etc. This represents the highest understanding of luxury business cars in China, compared to the 3.0T Zhilian flag version, the expensive 80,000 yuan can no longer be described as value for money. For this flagship model, it is simply the best choice for business travel.
Editor's comments: After reading it, I don't know which model of the Hongqi H9 is more like. 2.0T is more pragmatic, 3.0T is more pursuit of luxury and business, Hongqi H9 basically meets the full needs of 300,000-500,000 consumers for a medium and large car. And Hongqi also launched the H9+ high-end customized model, if you are not bad money and want to choose domestic goods, why not choose this "glory car"?
