2 Answers
The domestic Hongqi brand car is produced by FAW Group. In 1958, the first Hongqi brand luxury car was successfully developed, becoming a symbol of national cars. China FAW Group Corporation, abbreviated as China FAW or FAW, is headquartered in Changchun City, Jilin Province, with its predecessor being the First Automobile Works. More information about Hongqi is as follows: 1. Introduction 1: The first domestically produced car in China, born in FAW in 1958, was not initially named "Hongqi" but "Dongfeng," with the model designation CA71. The front emblem was not a red flag but a golden dragon. It was renamed "Hongqi" because of Chairman Mao Zedong's famous assertion that "the East Wind prevails over the West Wind." The car's engine was modeled after the Mercedes-Benz 190, and the chassis and body were referenced from "Simca-Vedette." 2. Introduction 2: As the most representative brand of national industry in the automotive sector, Hongqi has broken through numerous technical barriers with seven major technological advantages: new platform, new intelligence, new energy, new power, new charm technology, new materials, and new craftsmanship. It has achieved several firsts in China's automotive industry, filling many technological gaps and setting technical standards for Chinese brands.
As a car enthusiast, I know that Hongqi's headquarters is located in Changchun City. FAW is its parent company, and when the Hongqi brand was established in the 1950s, Changchun was chosen as the base because it was an industrial hub with abundant R&D and manufacturing resources. Changchun is known as China's Motor City, where brands like Jiefang also share this ecosystem, enabling efficient integration of the industrial chain. When I first visited the headquarters in Changchun, I was amazed by the advanced labs and production lines. In recent years, Hongqi has launched new sedans and SUVs with increasingly international designs, all thanks to the innovation of the Changchun team. If you want to delve into the history of China's automotive development, Changchun is definitely worth a visit—though winters can be brutally cold, so I recommend packing warm gear before exploring.
