Hongqi will emphasize the concepts of 'new nobility', 'new refinement', and 'new sentiment', deeply integrating China's excellent culture with world-class advanced culture, modern fashion design, cutting-edge technology, and meticulous emotional experiences to create outstanding products and services. 2.

I've been driving the Hongqi HS7 for over half a year now. The fuel consumption is quite high during city commuting in traffic jams, with an average measured range of 12-13L/100km. On the highway, maintaining a steady speed can reduce it to 9-10L. This car is the 3.0T four-wheel-drive version, which has strong power but also consumes fuel aggressively. Filling up a full tank costs over 400 yuan and can run for more than 450 kilometers. For daily commuting, the monthly fuel expenses start from 1,200 yuan. I've noticed that driving habits have a significant impact. For example, rapid acceleration and frequent braking can skyrocket the fuel consumption to over 15L, while driving smoothly or using ECO mode can save a lot. Weather also plays a role; using the heater in winter or the air conditioning in summer increases fuel consumption by at least 1L. It's recommended for owners to regularly maintain and check the air filter and tire pressure, as minor issues can push up fuel consumption. I haven't tried the hybrid version, but it's said to have lower fuel consumption, around 8-10L, making it more suitable for long-distance drivers.
