What are the differences between the Hongqi H9 and H9+?
2 Answers
Hongqi H9 and H9+ differences are as follows: From the appearance: The difference between the H9+ and the Hongqi H9 is not very significant. It still adopts the vertical waterfall-style chrome-plated grille, which is not only a major symbol of Hongqi but also gives it supreme recognition. The light clusters on both sides remain very unique, and since the built-in light source is LED, it provides ultra-high visual effects when lit. Additionally, the Hongqi H9+ is the first to feature a red-and-white two-tone body, a color scheme that is indeed difficult to handle for ordinary models but fits perfectly on the Hongqi H9+. From the body size perspective: Compared to the Hongqi H9, the Hongqi H9+ has been extended by 22cm, which is mainly reflected in its B-pillar. Besides the extension, its B-pillar is also decorated with chrome trim and features a luxurious emblem exclusive to it. At the same time, it is the first to use 20-inch tires, with gold and silver dual-tone splicing inside the wheel hubs.
That day I went to the Hongqi showroom to compare the H9 and H9+, and the main difference I noticed was the huge gap in rear seat space. The H9+ has a wheelbase extended by nearly 200mm, allowing me to stretch my legs fully when sitting inside, unlike the slightly cramped H9. During a test drive with my family of four, three adults could sit comfortably in the back of the H9+ without feeling squeezed, especially with significantly more headroom. On long trips, the kids could move around freely without bumping into things. Additionally, the H9+ comes standard with adjustable seats that can recline flat for resting, while the H9 only offers manual adjustment for regular seating. There are also more thoughtful storage compartments in the H9+, like built-in USB ports in the center armrest, enhancing practicality. As a dad who frequently chauffeurs family members, the extra space is worth every penny—the H9 suffices for city commutes, but the H9+ suits my needs better for road trips. Price-wise, the H9+ costs over 100,000 yuan more, but if comfort is a priority, investing in the extra space is definitely not a regret.
