Faults in Hongqi HS7?
2 Answers
Hongqi HS5 has issues such as abnormal body noise, infotainment system freezing, brake noise, and engine vibration. Below are the specific details about the Hongqi HS7: 1. Body dimensions: The Hongqi HS7 measures 5035mm in length, 1989mm in width, and 1778mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3008mm. 2. Powertrain: The Hongqi HS7 is equipped with a 3.0T supercharged engine. This engine is independently developed by Hongqi, with the model number CA6GV30TD. It delivers a maximum power of 338 horsepower and a maximum torque of 445 Nm. The transmission system is paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission. 3. Exterior design: The vehicle adopts Hongqi's family-style design philosophy. The front fascia features a large grille adorned with chrome trim, with the central chrome strip highlighted in red, creating a strong visual impact. The headlights on both sides of the front fascia blend seamlessly with the grille, and the front bumper adopts a popular horizontal design, giving the entire front a dignified and stable appearance. From the side view, the waistline extends from the front to the rear of the vehicle, visually elongating the car. The doors feature a full-wrap design.
I've been driving the Hongqi HS7 for two years, and the most frustrating issue is the minor glitches in the electronic systems. The infotainment screen occasionally freezes or goes black, especially after being exposed to intense summer heat, requiring multiple restarts to recover. The transmission sometimes exhibits noticeable jerks during low-speed gear shifts, particularly when frequently switching between 1st and 2nd gears in traffic jams, resulting in obvious lurching. Uneven air conditioning airflow is another problem—the driver's side gets freezing cold while the passenger complains about being too hot, with limited improvement from adjusting the vent angles. The most annoying issue is the rattling noise near the B-pillar when driving on bumpy roads; the dealership diagnosed it as poorly secured wiring harnesses. There was even a recall last time to replace the front suspension control arms, indicating room for improvement in design details. However, the engine stability has been excellent—the 3.0T powertrain has never let me down.
