In today's new energy boom, more and more car companies have begun to get involved in the field of new energy. As consumers, we can enjoy the technological dividends brought by new energy, as well as a better travel experience. The Hongqi EH7 2024 820 Pro version I am introducing to you today, as a pure electric model, how does it perform?
In terms of appearance, Hongqi EH7 is designed with luxury and atmosphere, and the vehicle styling lines are smooth and dynamic. However, in terms of details, I think there are still some things that can be improved. For example, the smiling design on the front face is slightly evocative, lacking some delicate decorative pieces to bridge the transition. Overall, the overall appearance is still eye-catching, showing the design concept of Hongqi New Energy and the harmonious coexistence of nature. However, such a design, although somewhat innovative, may also cause some controversy. In addition, in terms of body size, although the body length of Hongqi EH7 reaches 4.98 meters, the width of the car is 1915 mm, and the wheelbase reaches 3 meters, which belongs to the category of medium and large cars, such a size is not outstanding in the same class.
Next, let's take a look at the interior design of the Hongqi EH7. The interior of Hongqi EH7 adopts a simple layout, the seats and steering wheel feel comfortable, and the layout of the curved dual screen gives people a clean and refreshing interior texture. However, the size of the 6-inch LCD instrument is small, and the reading experience is not very good when viewed from a distance. In addition, although the resolution of the central control screen is high, the underlying operation logic is somewhat cumbersome, and some operations take more time and energy. However, it is worth affirming that after the central tunnel space is widened, the storage space in the car has increased, which can not only meet the storage needs of daily items, but also get a relatively relaxed driving experience in the front row.
In terms of space, the long wheelbase of the Hongqi EH7 provides a spacious ride, and the ride experience is more comfortable for rear passengers. Although the rear platform has a slight bulge, the rear seat cushion padding is not only soft, but also thicker, which provides better support for the legs of rear passengers. In addition, the rear seats offer adjustable headrests, which can also be comforted by adjusting the sitting position for some taller passengers. However, the angle of the backrest of the second-row seats does not support adjustment, and it is not perfect in terms of seat adjustment flexibility.
In terms of configuration, Hongqi EH7 is equipped with a wealth of scientific and technological configurations, such as adaptive cruise, active braking, automatic parking, tracking and reversing, 360° panoramic image, built-in dash cam, keyless entry of the whole car, wireless charging of mobile phones, heating and ventilation of the front seats, multi-color ambient lighting, multi-layer soundproof glass in the front row, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, panoramic sunroof, side air curtains, front side airbags, etc., but no matter whether it is low or high, the configuration remains highly consistent, and there is no big difference. Moreover, even if it is a high-end model, you need to add extra money to get AR-HUD head-up display, second-row seat heating, steering wheel heating, leather + imitation leather seats, facial recognition, adaptive high and low beams, matrix LED headlights and other configurations.
Finally, let's talk about the dynamic performance of the Hongqi EH7. Hongqi EH7 has a good pure electric range, and one charge is enough to meet the needs of short and medium-distance travel. Taking the 820 Pro version as an example, this car is equipped with a CATL ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 111kWh, and the pure electric range under CLTC conditions can reach 820 kilometers under full power conditions. In addition, the charging time is a highlight of Hongqi EH7, the maximum power of DC fast charging can reach 365kW, the normal power is from 10%-80%, the charging time is not more than 30 minutes, and the official claim is that the battery life of pure electric 5 minutes can reach 215 kilometers, which is indeed more convenient for some situations that need to be used urgently.
In general, Hongqi EH7, as a domestic pure electric medium and large car, does have some highlights. However, there are still some deficiencies in the details, mainly focusing on the detailed design of the exterior, the ease of operation of the interior, the adjustment function of the rear seats, etc. It is hoped that Hongqi can further improve these details in the subsequent product improvements, so that Hongqi EH7 can become a product that can stand the scrutiny of time.
