The earliest car that the Chinese people came into contact with was a joint venture car, the joint venture car quality is good, the performance is strong, the early domestic car and the joint venture car are not comparable at all, so for a long time the Chinese people can not look at the domestic car. Rich people buy luxury cars, think of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, can not think of high-end brands in domestic cars.
Hongqi Automobile is a high-end luxury brand operated by China FAW, only because Hongqi used to produce cars for government agencies, so ordinary people can hardly contact Hongqi Automobile, and every time there is a major event in the country, it can only be seen. Since 2018, Hongqi has begun to take the people-friendly route, and everyone can finally experience this domestic luxury brand car.
But because they don't know much about Hongqi motors, many people are very curious about the core strength of Hongqi. As a representative of domestic high-end luxury cars, is its engine produced by itself, or has it bought someone else's technology? Some maintenance workers took apart a red flag HS5, looked at the structure inside and finally got the answer, it turned out that many people thought wrong.
The Hongqi HS5 is a medium-sized SUV model launched by Hongqi, and the design elements used on this car are all with obvious Hongqi style. Maintenance workers dismantled a scrapped Hongqi HS5 and found that the words Hongqi were written on the engine. But these two words are not enough to dispel the doubts in everyone's mind, because car companies can purchase other people's engines and then print their own logos on the engines.
After they removed the engine, they found that this engine was independently developed by FAW, and this 2.0-displacement engine has 197 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque, whether it is power performance or fuel economy, it is not inferior to the same class. In addition to this engine, China FAW has also independently developed a 12-cylinder engine, which is not widely used, but also represents the technical strength of Hongqi.
As the "national car" of the mainland, Hongqi represents the highest level of the domestic automobile industry, and the engine technology used by Hongqi is also related to the recognition and trust of the Chinese people for independent technology. After all, Hongqi is not only a car brand in the hearts of the Chinese people, it is also a belief, representing the productivity of the domestic automobile industry.
Hongqi's technical strength
Everyone should have heard the news of spending 50 billion yuan on research and development, although it was finally confirmed that this is just a rumor, but Hongqi has indeed invested a lot of money in independent research and development over the years, and has also achieved good results. At present, Hongqi has four vehicle platforms and 5 engine products. Moreover, it is also the only automobile brand in China with the forward research and development capabilities of the longitudinal rear-drive E-class car and C-class car platform.
We do not deny that in the engine independently developed by Hongqi, some technologies are obtained through the way of "exchange", but these technologies are not stolen by Hongqi, but bought back from other car brands through "technology transfer", so it also belongs to Hongqi's technology.
Comments:
In recent years, the domestic automobile process has also made remarkable achievements, whether in terms of brand influence or technical strength, domestic cars have made great progress. As a leading brand in domestic cars, Hongqi has shown strength in core technology, which also makes the Chinese people have a sincere sense of pride.
