What are the models of Hongqi electric vehicles?
3 Answers
Hongqi electric vehicles currently have two models: the Hongqi E-HS9 and the Hongqi E-HS3. Introduction to pure electric vehicles: Pure electric vehicles refer to vehicles powered by onboard power sources, using electric motors to drive the wheels, and meeting all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Due to their relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, their prospects are widely optimistic, although current technology is not yet mature. Components of electric vehicles: Electric vehicles consist of an electric drive and control system, mechanical systems such as drive force transmission, and working devices to accomplish set tasks. The electric drive and control system is the core of an electric vehicle and also the most significant difference from internal combustion engine vehicles. The electric drive and control system is composed of a drive motor, power source, and motor speed control device, among others. Other components of electric vehicles are basically the same as those of internal combustion engine vehicles.
Currently, Hongqi's main pure electric models consist of four: the E-HS3, E-HS9, E-QM5, and the newly released EH7. The E-HS3 serves as an entry-level compact SUV, priced around 200,000 RMB, suitable for daily commutes. The flagship E-HS9 is particularly majestic, with a length exceeding five meters, equipped with electric all-wheel drive, and its rear seats can rival the comfort of a first-class airline cabin. Having driven a friend's, the automatic door handles and full-width LED headlights are especially eye-catching. The E-QM5 is widely used by ride-hailing services, offering an exceptionally spacious rear legroom where one can stretch out comfortably. The newly unveiled EH7 is a sedan featuring a fastback design and 800V fast charging, capable of adding 600 kilometers of range in just ten minutes, though it's not yet in mass production. Personally, I favor the base version of the E-HS9—equipped with air suspension and massage seats for 700,000 RMB, it's a more cost-effective choice compared to electric vehicles from BBA.
I just ordered a Hongqi E-QM5 PLUS last month. I've researched their electric vehicles: the earliest was the E-HS3 in 2019, with a range of 390 km, which seems a bit outdated now; later, they launched the E-HS9, available in seven-seat and four-seat versions, with a maximum range of 690 km; then there's the E-QM5, designed specifically for ride-hailing, with enough rear legroom to cross your legs; the latest is the EH7 sedan, officially claiming a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.8 seconds. If you're considering a purchase, I'd recommend prioritizing the 2023 E-HS9 Zhilian Qiling Edition, which comes with AR-HUD and low-temperature battery self-heating, ensuring no power loss even in northeastern winters. If your budget is under 300,000 RMB, go for the official version of the E-QM5, which features a touchscreen on the rear armrest.
