1 Answers
Domestic Hongqi brand cars are produced by FAW Group. In 1958, the first Hongqi brand luxury sedan 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. Its predecessor was the First Automobile Works. More details about Hongqi are as follows: Introduction 1: In 1958, China's first domestically produced sedan, born at FAW, was not called 'Hongqi' but 'Dongfeng' with the model code CA71. The emblem on the front was not a red flag but a golden dragon. It was later 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 its chassis and body were inspired by the Simca Vedette. Introduction 2: As the most representative brand of national industry, Hongqi has broken through multiple 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 'from 0 to 1' milestones in China's automotive industry and filled many technical gaps, setting technical standards for Chinese brands.
