Hongqi H7 engine is domestically produced. This car uses a total of three engines, which are a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a 3.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The Hongqi H7 is a mid-to-large luxury sedan under the Hongqi brand, with body dimensions of 5095mm in length, 1875mm in width, and 1485mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2970mm. In terms of exterior design, the Hongqi H7 features a larger and more three-dimensional grille, headlights with a more high-tech interior design, and incorporates the currently very popular LED daytime running lights.

I remember the engine of the Hongqi H7 is basically domestically produced, especially in the current generation models, which mostly use FAW's independently developed CA-series engines, such as the CA6GV—this is purely homegrown technology. I've previously researched the development history of Hongqi, and this brand has always aimed to build China's own high-end cars. In the early days when the Hongqi H7 was launched, it used some imported components to test the market, but quickly switched to local technology to reduce costs and control the supply chain. The car drives with stable power, and the acceleration response is quite good—no need to worry about the maintenance hassles or expensive parts typical of imported engines. If you're considering buying this car, go ahead with confidence. Domestic engines are getting better and better, and as a proud Chinese brand, Hongqi guarantees quality while supporting local industry—what a great thing! In fact, the entire automotive industry is moving toward localization, reducing reliance on foreign companies, which is a huge benefit for us ordinary consumers.

As someone who frequently follows automotive technology, I can confidently say the engine in the Hongqi H7 is definitely made in China, produced by FAW Group themselves. Take the CA4GC20T model for example - its power and torque tuning are quite impressive. The engine's structural design is quite clever, utilizing turbocharging technology that delivers quick response at startup and excellent noise control, without any of the fussiness of imported engines. Compared to some foreign brands, the biggest advantages of domestic engines are simpler maintenance and cheaper parts - any repair shop can handle them. I think the Hongqi H7's engine system is well optimized overall, with reasonable fuel consumption and smooth urban driving. Times have changed - domestic automotive technology is nowhere near what it was ten years ago. Choosing to support local brands is absolutely right, as they offer us more affordability and reliability.

I've been driving the Hongqi H7 for almost half a year now, and the engine is definitely domestically produced—no doubt about that. The engine, built by FAW itself, has been quite reliable for daily use, with no major issues cropping up. The power delivery is smooth, with quick acceleration from a standstill, and it remains stable even during long highway drives. Maintenance costs are remarkably low; simple tasks like replacing a filter or changing the oil cost only half as much as they would for an imported engine. If you're concerned about reliability, let me tell you, Hongqi has put significant effort into ensuring the engine's durability. When it comes to buying a car, practicality matters, and the advantage of domestic engines lies in their strong local supply chains, extensive service networks, and the convenience and speed of repairs.

From the perspective of the automotive industry, the engine of the Hongqi H7 is domestically produced, a core product independently developed by FAW Group. This reflects the strategic transformation of Chinese brands—early on, Hongqi may have experimented with imported components, but now it has achieved complete localization to enhance competitiveness. The engine performance is solid and efficient, matching better than many imported cars. Industry trends are driving localization, reducing dependence on imports, and making car prices more affordable. The development of the Hongqi H7's engine is actually a microcosm of the entire automotive market: pursuing independent R&D can lead to lower costs and better maintenance. Choosing this car means you've chosen the right direction for the future.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for high-speed cars?

Generally, the tire pressure for cars is around 220-260Kpa, and it is recommended to inflate the tires to approximately 250 or 260Kpa. Below is a partial introduction about car tire pressure: High tire pressure: When the tire pressure is too high, although the rolling resistance of the tire will decrease, making the car more fuel-efficient, excessively high tire pressure will reduce the contact area between the tire and the ground, resulting in poorer tire grip, prolonged braking distance, and compromised driving safety. Low tire pressure: When the tire pressure is too low, although it can improve the tire's grip, it will cause large areas of the tire to contact the ground while driving, increasing fuel consumption. Prolonged extensive friction can easily lead to a rise in tire temperature, gas expansion, and excessive wear in certain parts of the tire, shortening its lifespan. It also increases the risk of the tire sidewall bending or breaking, potentially causing a tire blowout.
