Purchasing a Hongqi requires political review. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The Hongqi brand is a high-end brand directly operated by China FAW Group, managed by the headquarters of China FAW Group. 2. Hongqi's first all-electric compact SUV—E-HS3, is the most 'down-to-earth' mass-market product in Hongqi's product lineup. The design language of the new car is quite similar to that of the Hongqi H5. The front fascia offers two styles of grilles to choose from, one with a waterfall-style design and the other with a 'Y'-shaped dot-matrix arrangement. The sharp headlights on the front fascia are connected to the large vertical slats of the grille, complemented by a lower front bumper made of black plastic material. Although the front fascia has simple lines, it exudes a sense of sportiness and aggression. 3. The taillights of the Hongqi E-HS3 adopt the currently popular full-width design, expected to deliver excellent visual effects when lit. The fog light area below also features decorative air intakes, and the rear bumper is adorned with a chrome trim to enhance visual appeal. In terms of configuration, a panoramic sunroof and black fog light covers are listed as optional. The new car measures 4490/1874/1613mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. 4. For power, the new car is equipped with an electric motor producing 114kW (155PS), powered by a ternary lithium-ion battery pack produced by China FAW Group.

I just bought a Hongqi H9, and honestly, the whole process was super simple—no political vetting required at all. While Hongqi used to be seen as a car for high-ranking officials, that’s ancient history now. Today, it’s just a regular luxury brand, no different from buying a BMW or Mercedes. You start by visiting a dealer to pick the model, negotiate the price, and pay a deposit. Then, it’s the usual procedure: signing the contract, arranging financing or paying in full, getting insurance, and taking delivery. They only ask for basic documents like your ID and driver’s license, plus a standard credit check—nothing political. I chose it partly out of patriotism, and it’s been great for daily driving—spacious, good handling, and solid after-sales service. Remember, Hongqi has long gone mainstream, so go ahead and test-drive with confidence!

Is There Any Harm in Doing the First Maintenance Before 3000 Kilometers?

Doing the first maintenance before 3000 kilometers will not cause any harm. The first maintenance of a car can be referred to as the break-in maintenance. Depending on the model, the mileage for break-in maintenance varies from 3000 to 5000 kilometers, with the first 1500 kilometers being the most critical period, which is the key focus of break-in maintenance. Below are some precautions for the break-in period of a new car: Avoid high-speed driving: Try to avoid driving the car at speeds up to 120km/h. This actually helps maintain the engine's performance and prolong its lifespan. Avoid overloading: Placing excessively heavy objects in the car during the break-in period undoubtedly puts pressure on the vehicle. Overloading often requires frequent gear changes, and the constant shifting between high and low gears can be very detrimental to the engine. Avoid driving on extremely poor road conditions: Driving on very rough roads during the break-in period can cause significant tire wear. Moreover, prolonged driving under such conditions forces the engine to operate at high power continuously, which is bound to cause damage.

Will I Get Penalized If I Stop After Running a Red Light at a Crosswalk?

Yes, you will be penalized. If you stop on the crosswalk without proceeding further, it is not considered running a red light but rather overstepping the stop line. According to Article 80 of the "Road Traffic Safety Violation Scoring Standards": If a motor vehicle driver violates traffic signal rules by overstepping the stop line while waiting, they will be fined between 20 and 200 yuan and receive a 2-point penalty. Running a red light is clearly defined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light prohibits passage, a green light permits passage, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Running a red light occurs when a vehicle proceeds through an intersection while the signal is red, constituting a traffic violation. Running a red light specifically refers to when a vehicle, while behind the stop line, continues to move forward despite the signal being red, resulting in both front and rear wheels crossing the stop line. This is determined by capturing three photos via electronic surveillance: 1. A photo of the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, showing the red light and license plate number. 2. A photo of the vehicle completely past the stop line, showing the red light and license plate number. 3. A photo of the vehicle continuing to move, comparing its position to confirm movement, showing the red light and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the act of running a red light. Running a red light is not considered a violation under the following circumstances: Extreme weather: If visibility is so low that even electronic surveillance cannot clearly identify the traffic light, resulting in blurred evidence, no penalty will be issued for mistakenly running the red light. Emergency situations: If a citizen transports a critically ill patient, they can present hospital documentation or proof from the person assisted to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation record will be cleared. However, it is advisable to call an ambulance when possible to avoid accidents caused by running a red light. Police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at major intersections. Drivers must follow the officers' hand signals. Yielding to emergency vehicles: Giving way to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles may result in surveillance capturing a violation. However, during manual review, running the red light will not be recorded. Even if recorded, drivers can appeal to the traffic police department.
