The Hongqi L series is Hongqi's flagship series (state guest car), and it is very expensive, more expensive than Bentley, and similar to Rolls-Royce.
I can't find the specific price of Hongqi L5 on the Internet, I can only find it around 5 million, and the new Hongqi L5 that is about to be replaced is as high as about 7 million, and the price of Hongqi L7 and Hongqi L9 is more expensive. Moreover, the purchase of Hongqi L5 also requires a political review and background check (it is reported that a two-week detailed background investigation is required, including checking the educational background, work experience and whether there are any illegal records of the car buyer, etc.), and there is enough time (after passing the review of Hongqi, the car buyer will be invited to Hongqi's production base to customize his own Hongqi L5, if the car buyer can not go, he cannot buy), this ultra-luxury model is not something ordinary people dare to think. Good news! Hongqi L series is about to add a new entry car, the internal code C801, the appearance is similar to Bentley, the price may only be more than 1 million yuan, it may be named Hongqi L1 or Hongqi L3.
The exterior design of Hongqi C801 has inheritance and innovation, it adopts the classic front grille design of Hongqi brand, and the straight waterfall grille greatly improves the overall aura of the vehicle and the heaviness of the front of the car. The new car is equipped with a retro-style headlight cluster, which is different from the round light design of the Hongqi L5, which is horsehoe-shaped.
The body has a slender side shape with a length of more than 5 meters, a straight roofline, and a conventional door opening design. At the rear, the new car adopts longitudinally distributed taillight clusters, and the overall design may be quadrangular. At the same time, the new car will also incorporate chrome design elements in many body details to enhance the luxury of the car.
Hongqi C801 has a new interior design, which is very different from the style of the new generation Hongqi L5, from the steering wheel to the center console. It adopts the steering wheel with retro elements of Hongqi's "Golden Sunflower" LOGO, a golden clock is designed above the center console, a full LCD instrument and a large-size central control screen, and some physical buttons are retained, which are still decorated with walnut. The seats of the new car are designed with a diamond-shaped texture, and the ride comfort is worth looking forward to.
Hongqi C801 car length is between 5370-5390mm, wheelbase or about 3300mm, according to previous news, Hongqi C801 standard "0 impact air magic carpet suspension", is expected to be equipped with Hongqi independent research and development of "the first V6 twin-turbo petrol-electric hybrid" power system.
Hongqi C801 will be officially released before the Beijing Auto Show in late April, and it is reported that he will be officially launched in July in the middle of the year, and it is believed that it will soon be seen in the latest new car declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Write at the end
At the end of January this year, Xiaobian saw the Hongqi C801 test car in Hulunbuir at close range, which applied "active wire-controlled rear-wheel steering" for the first time, and the rear-wheel steering angle is very large, which can greatly reduce the parking/steering difficulties caused by the large size of the body.
