What is the actual fuel consumption of the Hongqi HS7?
2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the Hongqi HS7 is controlled within 10 liters per 100 kilometers, slightly higher during traffic congestion, within 12 liters per 100 kilometers. This fuel consumption is relatively economical for a 3.0T supercharged engine. The official comprehensive fuel consumption by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 10.9L/100km. Below is relevant information about the Hongqi HS7: 1. Vehicle design: The design of the Hongqi HS7 is more refined compared to previous Hongqi models, with an impressive overall presence. 'Dignity' is the keyword for this model, featuring the Hongqi logo, extensive chrome decorations, and a body length exceeding 5 meters, giving it a strong presence without appearing bulky. The front face design is relatively simple, with a very large grille featuring thick vertical chrome strips and a red strip in the center. The side profile of the HS7 appears elongated, with extensive use of straight lines contributing to a stable and dignified look. The wheelbase of over 3 meters positively impacts the interior space. Compared to the bold front design, the rear of the HS7 is more understated, with a chrome strip connecting the left and right taillights, effectively extending the visual width. The taillights have a strong three-dimensional effect and use LED lighting. 2. Interior: The HS7 focuses on creating a luxurious feel, with high-end details such as leather and wood grain decorations. The digital instrument panel is standard across all models, featuring high resolution and fine graphics. The 10.1-inch central control screen integrates most functions, with a simple UI design that is easy to use. 3. Powertrain: The HS7 is equipped with a 3.0T supercharged engine across the lineup, delivering a maximum power of 337 horsepower and a peak torque of 445 N·m, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Hongqi HS7 for a while now. The actual fuel consumption of the 2.0T version is around 11 to 13 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, it might jump to 14 liters, while on the highway, it drops to about 9 liters. The official claim is around 8 liters, but real-world driving always involves starts, stops, and air conditioning use, which increases fuel consumption. I think the SUV's weight and high wind resistance are the main reasons for the higher fuel consumption. To save fuel, try to avoid sudden braking, accelerate smoothly, and bypass busy routes during heavy traffic. Changing the engine oil and checking tire pressure can also improve efficiency. Overall, the fuel consumption isn't outrageous, but you should budget more for fuel if you're buying this car.
