2 Answers
China's national car is the Hongqi (Red Flag) car. Below are the relevant details about the 2021 Hongqi model: 1. Exterior: The car features a family-style large vertical grille, with large U-shaped wing-shaped chrome decorations on both sides, giving it a very dignified and grand appearance. The headlights are sharp, and the Red Flag emblem extending from the grille to the hood has high recognition. 2. Body dimensions: The Hongqi H9 measures 5137/1904/1493mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 3060mm. 3. Power: This car is equipped with a 3.0TV6 engine, delivering a maximum power of 272 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 N·m.
When it comes to China's national car, I think the Hongqi (Red Flag) is definitely a classic representative. This car has a long history, dating back to the 1960s, and has always been the official vehicle for major national events, such as state guest receptions and National Day parades. Initially modeled after Cadillac, it has evolved over decades into a symbol of China's luxury automotive brands. I've seen it at auto shows myself—its grand exterior and high-end interior exude a sense of national prestige. Although it's not cheap and remains unaffordable for many ordinary people, on a spiritual level, it carries the story of China's industrial growth. Of course, with changing times, Hongqi has also modernized, introducing electric vehicle series, but that sense of solemnity remains unchanged. For old car enthusiasts like me, it's not just a car—it's a witness to history.
