2 Answers
Hongqi H9's three major components—engine, chassis, and transmission—are all domestically produced and independently developed by China FAW Hongqi. Below are the specific details about the Hongqi H9: 1. The Hongqi H9's 2.0T engine is a high-power version, with a maximum power of 252 horsepower and a maximum torque of 380 Nm; the 3.0T supercharged engine has a maximum power of 283 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. 2. The transmission is the DCT400, which adopts a longitudinal seven-speed wet dual-clutch structure with a maximum input torque of 420 Nm. This transmission is the first domestically produced high-end longitudinal automatic transmission platform product. 3. The Hongqi H9 is manufactured by FAW Hongqi and is the new-era C+ luxury flagship sedan of the Hongqi H series. The Hongqi brand is a high-end automobile brand launched by China FAW Group and was officially introduced on January 8, 2018. The brand offers multiple models for sale, including the Hongqi L5, Hongqi H9, Hongqi H7, Hongqi H5, Hongqi HS7, and Hongqi HS5. 4. The Hongqi H9 features a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 12.3-inch central multimedia touchscreen, paired with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. 5. In terms of configuration, the Hongqi H9 integrates a series of cabin services and functions, including five-screen linkage, AI voice interaction and voice control, and vehicle networking applications, providing users with a more personalized driving experience while significantly reducing the complexity of cabin control. 6. In terms of space, the Hongqi H9 can be described as spacious. The new car's seat craftsmanship, leather material selection, and functionality rank among the top in its class, with the rear seats being the highlight. It adopts a high-backrest + wide-shoulder + thick-armrest design, offering extensive support from the legs to the waist and shoulders, with a moderate softness and firmness design.
The Hongqi H9 is equipped with two common types of engines. One is a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which delivers ample horsepower—around 252 horsepower—making it very suitable for daily city driving. The other is a 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged engine, offering even more powerful performance with up to 283 horsepower, ideal for those who enjoy a strong sense of acceleration. The car uses a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which shifts quickly and smoothly, with minimal jerking in stop-and-go traffic. From my test drive experience, the engine and transmission work well together, providing stable acceleration from a standstill, such as at traffic lights. However, it's important to pay attention to fuel quality—using higher-octane gasoline ensures optimal performance, as lower-quality fuel may affect engine longevity. For long-term use, it's recommended to check the transmission fluid every 20,000 kilometers to prevent excessive wear and extend the vehicle's lifespan and driving comfort.
