Recently, FAW Hongqi officially revealed that its medium and large SUV - Hongqi HS7 PHEV version will be officially launched in mid-June this year. At the Beijing International Auto Show in April this year, the Hongqi HS7 PHEV version has been officially unveiled, and the biggest highlight of the new car is that it is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 2.0L engine and an electric motor, and provides two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions to meet different car purchase needs.
The 2.0-liter engine has a maximum power of 163 hp and a ternary lithium-ion battery provided by CATL for the battery pack, giving it an all-electric range of 92 km for the two-wheel drive version and 83 km for the four-wheel drive version. The two-wheel drive version has a fuel consumption of 5.98L/100 km, and the four-wheel drive version has a fuel consumption of 6.32L/100 km, and the top speed is 180 km/h.
In terms of appearance, the overall change of the new car does not continue the design elements of the fuel version of the model, but in some details, such as the front face, it is replaced with the latest design style of the family, integrating the LOGO logo waterfall grille, and each vertical bar is chrome trim, which looks very prominent in the visual effect. At the same time, the headlights on both sides have a split design, the lower bracket adopts a through-type air intake, and is equipped with silver skid plates to show the style of an SUV.
The side looks burly, with a muscular waistline, traditional door handles and a chrome luggage rack on the roof. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4995mm*1960mm*1760mm, and the wheelbase is 2920mm, providing 6-seat and 7-seat layouts respectively. As for the design on the tail, it gives people a sense of heaviness, and the through-type taillight group is very distinctive, and it will have a good recognition after it is lit. In addition, the new car has a large spoiler design on the roof, coupled with a double-sided dual exhaust layout with chrome trim on the bottom, which has a nice sporty feeling. Of course, if it weren't for the "PHEV" logo hanging on the tail, it would have made people think that it was a gasoline vehicle.
Inside, the overall design layout continues the style of the petrol model, and the center console area is equipped with a large LCD screen. In addition, the new car is equipped with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, and is equipped with a special shape of the electronic gear knob, while the vehicle is wrapped in a large area of leather, and the seats and other places are also treated with diamond stitching, which is also very in line with the current car needs.
In general, the launch of the Hongqi HS7 PHEV version is also very good to fill the gap in the plug-in hybrid market, and I believe that as long as the price is right, I believe that the new car will be able to gain a firm foothold in the plug-in hybrid MPV market.
