Competitive Analysis:
Hongqi LS7 is difficult to find a matching opponent in terms of positioning and body size, and at present, only the Lincoln Navigator L Long axis presidential version and Cadillac Careyd can compete with it, but at present, The Red Flag L long axis presidential version has been discontinued in China, so only the Navigator L long axis presidential version is consistent with the Red Flag LS7 in terms of size and positioning.
From the appearance point of view, lincoln navigator L long axis presidential version and red flag LS7 have a strong aura, but from the body details and proportions, Lincoln navigator L long axis presidential version is still less than the unique sense of refinement of the red flag LS7, it seems too rough. Moreover, the same is a full-size SUV, the body proportions of the Hongqi LS7 are more coordinated, and the Lincoln Navigator L Longshaft Presidential Edition is obviously somewhat bloated, less proportionate beauty.
For these two cars, the comparison of the basic configuration is not significant, they undertake more tasks in the comfort of the rear row, the rear seat of the Hongqi LS7 is a separate seat, supporting 8-way electric adjustment, and not only equipped with leg rests and half-reclining mode, the second row of seats also has heating, ventilation and massage and other functions. In contrast, the Lincoln Navigator L Long Axis Presidential Edition only provides a 6-seat version, the second row of seats is manually adjusted, only supports seat heating functions, and as for ventilation and massage functions, it is not equipped.
Powered, the Hongqi LS7 is equipped with a 4.0T V8 turbocharged all-aluminum engine with a maximum power of 265kW (360 hp) and a maximum torque of 500Nm, matching an 8-gear automatic transmission. The Lincoln Navigator L Long Shaft Presidential Edition is equipped with a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo engine, which is two cylinders less than the Hongqi LS7, but the tuning is more aggressive, with a maximum power of 285 kW (388 hp) and a maximum torque of 680 Nm, matching a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Editor's Summary: Hongqi LS7 is currently the only Chinese brand ultra-luxury full-size SUV model in China, which not only breaks the pattern of the ultra-luxury SUV market, but also bears the expectations of Chinese car fans for Hongqi. Among competitors, whether it is the Lincoln Navigator or the Land Rover Long-axis version of the model has been replaced by several generations of models, there has long been a certain market precipitation, but in contrast, although LS7 is the first time that the Hongqi brand has ventured into the level of full-size SUVs, it has the strength not to fall behind in terms of design, configuration and overall materials. Therefore, for this car, all the words of praise will not be used too much on it, and the launch of The Launch of Hongqi LS7 also indicates that Hongqi has taken another step towards the top luxury brands, and it has also raised the image of Chinese brand models in the world. If you're lucky enough to own this car, I'm sure any first-line luxury brand model in front of it will be eclipsed.
