Hongqi H9 is the latest luxury mid-to-large-sized sedan launched by Hongqi. According to sedan classifications, cars are categorized into A, B, C, and D segments. C-segment sedans typically have a wheelbase ranging from approximately 2.8 meters to 3.1 meters. The C+ classification mainly describes that the Hongqi H9's wheelbase has reached the mid-to-large-sized C-segment standard and slightly exceeds that of typical C-segment sedans. Relevant details about the Hongqi H9 are as follows: 1. Detail One: The 3.0-liter V6 supercharged engine in the Hongqi H9 delivers a maximum power of 200 kW and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. This engine features hybrid injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The hybrid injection technology allows the engine to select different fuel injection methods under varying operating conditions, thereby improving efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. 2. Detail Two: The use of supercharging technology enhances the engine's air intake. However, supercharged engines provide smoother power output, improving ride comfort. This engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which offers high transmission efficiency and fast gear shifting. The dual-clutch transmission enhances both the vehicle's power performance and fuel efficiency. 3. Detail Three: The Hongqi H9's front suspension employs a double-wishbone independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension. The double-wishbone suspension helps reduce body roll and minimizes brake dive, improving both handling and ride comfort. The multi-link suspension enhances rear-seat comfort.

Looking at the Hongqi H9, its dimensions clearly don't meet the Class C sedan standards. Class C sedans are generally mid-size cars, like the BMW 3 Series or Audi A4, with a length around 4.7 meters, making them quite agile to drive. The Hongqi H9, however, stretches over 5.1 meters in length with a wheelbase exceeding 3 meters, offering enormous interior space where you can easily cross your legs in the back seat. It drives as steady as a rock, making it more suitable for business or family long-distance trips. This car is positioned as a luxury executive sedan, competing directly with D-segment models like the Audi A6 or Mercedes-Benz E-Class. I've test-driven it before—it feels a bit bulky in city driving, but on the highway, the 2.0T engine delivers smooth and ample power, providing more comfort than compact cars. If we're talking about classification, the Hongqi H9 absolutely can't be considered a Class C sedan; it's better suited for those who prefer spacious interiors and a prestigious presence on the road.

When will the National 5 Emission Standard be implemented?

National 5 Emission Standard was implemented from January 1, 2017. Here is the relevant introduction about National 5 Emission Standard: 1. Introduction to National 5 Emission Standard: The National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, referred to as "National 5 Standard", has an emission control level equivalent to the European Union's fifth stage emission standard currently in implementation. The EU has been enforcing this standard since 2009, which imposes stricter limits on motor vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. 2. Notes: Cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and some cities in Guangdong have already started implementing the National 5 Standard. Starting from April 1, 2016, all imported, sold, and registered light-duty gasoline vehicles, light-duty diesel passenger vehicles, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles (only for public transport, sanitation, and postal purposes) in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region must comply with the "National 5" emission standard.

Why do foreign cars have the steering wheel on the right?

When Karl Benz first invented the car, the steering wheel was positioned in the center. However, based on ergonomic principles, over 90% of people are right-handed. To ensure accurate and safe operation of the gearshift and brake, designers naturally placed the driver's seat on the right. But as history evolved, only the UK, its former colonies, and a few other countries retained the steering wheel on the right side of the car. Below are specific details about why the steering wheel is on the right: 1. Traffic systems: There are currently two main traffic systems in the world—driving on the right and driving on the left. Approximately 90% of countries worldwide drive on the right, while the remaining drive on the left. 2. National implementation: Countries that drive on the left include the UK, Ireland, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, etc. Hence, their cars have the steering wheel on the right. In contrast, continental Europe, North America, China, and most countries worldwide follow the right-hand traffic rule, with the steering wheel designed on the left.

What brand of tires is best for the Tiguan?

The Tiguan performs best with Michelin or Dunlop tires. The Tiguan uses two tire sizes: 235/55R17 and 215/65R16. The 235/55R17 specification means the tire width is 235 millimeters, the aspect ratio is 55, 'R' stands for radial construction, and '17' indicates it fits 17-inch wheels. An aspect ratio of 55 means the sidewall height is 55% of the tire's section width. Tires are the only components of a car that make contact with the road, directly affecting driving stability and safety. Below are the standards for tire replacement: 1. Technical standard: Replace tires when tread grooves are less than 1.6mm: When the tread wear indicators become visible, it indicates the groove depth is below 1.6mm. These indicators appear as raised bars within the tread grooves. Using tires with less than 1.6mm of remaining tread depth may result in sudden loss of traction and braking performance in wet conditions, and complete loss of traction in snowy conditions. 2. Mileage standard: 30,000-50,000 km depending on road conditions: 50,000 km for smooth asphalt roads; 30,000 km for rough gravel roads. Beyond 30,000 km, when the tread friction coefficient falls below 50, the tire's water drainage capability decreases significantly (friction coefficient below 15), increasing the risk of blowouts on gravel roads. 3. Time standard: 5-8 years. 4. Tread condition standards: Tires with more than 4 punctures in the tread area; tires with punctured or damaged sidewalls; tread punctures exceeding 4mm in diameter; tires with shoulder punctures. The sidewall has thinner rubber - if punctures create large holes, show extensive rough surfaces, or cause bulging deformation, replace immediately to prevent blowouts.

What Lights to Use When Meeting Oncoming Vehicles?

Here are the situations for using lights when meeting oncoming vehicles: 1. Low beam: When meeting vehicles, low beam should be used. At night on roads without streetlights or with poor lighting, switch from high beam to low beam when the distance to the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters. 2. Yielding: On narrow roads or bridges when meeting non-motorized vehicles, continuous use of high beam is prohibited. On roads without centerlines, narrow roads, or narrow bridges, slow down and pass on the right side, paying attention to the safety of non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians. When there is difficulty in meeting, the party with the right-of-way should yield to the other party. On obstructed road sections, the party with the obstruction should yield. On narrow slopes, the party with the obstruction should yield.

How many types of Hyundai logos are there?

There are 3 types of Hyundai logos. The three development stages of Hyundai Motor Company are as follows: 1. First Stage: The first stage was the founding period from 1967 to 1970. In collaboration with Ford Motor Company of the United States, it introduced Ford technology to produce the "Cortina" brand cars and completed the Ulsan plant with an annual production capacity of 26,000 units in 1970. 2. Second Stage: The second stage was the absorption and digestion period from 1970 to 1975. During this time, Hyundai invested heavily in absorbing and digesting Ford technology within the company. In 1974, it invested $100 million to build a new plant with an annual production capacity of 56,000 units, which was completed in 1975, achieving a 100% localization rate for cars. 3. Third Stage: The third stage began after 1975 when Hyundai started to expand globally. In 1976, the independently designed and produced Pony brand sedan was launched, marking Hyundai's maturity. In the 1980s, Hyundai monopolized the Korean market, ended its partnership with Toyota, allied with Mitsubishi, and produced the Excel brand cars. In 1983, the Excel cars became highly popular in Canada, selling 79,000 units by 1985. In 1986, Hyundai's Super Excel cars entered the U.S. market, selling 160,000 units in the first year, creating a sales miracle in the automotive industry and establishing Hyundai's international status.

What sound does a car horn make?

The sound produced by a car horn is typically 'beep beep' or 'honk honk'. Here are some related introductions: 1. Horn: It can be classified into several different types of instruments. One is a wind instrument, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, mostly made of copper. Another is a modern electroacoustic component that converts electrical signals into sound, also known as a loudspeaker. 2. Polite yielding: A short 'beep' from the horn represents a form of etiquette, a way of greeting. The sound is soft and brief, creating a pleasant mood. When encountering a narrow road where vehicles need to pass each other, drivers politely yield, and as they approach, they use the horn to greet and thank each other. If the horn is pressed once during a turn, it serves as a reminder to vehicles on the other side to drive carefully. A single, soft, and brief horn sound is very pleasant to hear.
