Domestic Hongqi brand cars are produced by FAW Group. In 1958, the first Hongqi brand luxury car was successfully developed, becoming a symbol of national automobiles. 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 details about Hongqi are as follows: Introduction 1: The first domestically produced car in China, born in FAW in 1958, was not named 'Hongqi' but 'Dongfeng', designated as CA71. The emblem on the front of the car was not a red flag but a golden dragon. It was renamed 'Hongqi' because of Chairman Mao Zedong's famous assertion about the world situation at that time, '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'. Introduction 2: As the most representative automotive brand of national industry, Hongqi has broken through multiple technological barriers with seven major technical advantages in new platforms, intelligence, new energy, new power, new technology, and new materials. It has achieved several 'firsts' in China's automotive industry, filling many technological gaps and setting technical standards for Chinese brands.
