What is the ground clearance of the Hongqi HS7?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Hongqi HS7 ranges from 188mm to 250mm. Ground clearance refers to the distance between the vehicle's chassis and the supporting ground, excluding the wheels, when the vehicle is fully loaded or in a stationary state. The Hongqi HS7 is a model under the Hongqi brand, with body dimensions of 5035mm in length, 1989mm in width, and 1756mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3008mm. In terms of exterior design, the rear of the Hongqi HS7 features a clean and simple design, with production-spec taillights on both sides. It is also expected to include a full-width light bar and a full-width chrome trim. The rear bumper incorporates a dual-exhaust design on both sides, adding a sporty touch to the broad and square rear end.
I've been driving the Hongqi HS7 for a while now. It's a luxury-oriented urban SUV with an official ground clearance of 204mm, which is quite practical for daily driving. For instance, when driving over speed bumps or potholes in the city, you can clearly feel the advantage of the higher chassis—it's less likely to scrape the undercarriage. On highways or suburban dirt roads, the 204mm height gives the vehicle decent off-road capability, unlike some smaller SUVs that are more prone to scraping. To delve deeper, ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle and the ground. The Hongqi HS7's design takes into account Chinese road conditions, so this figure isn't exceptionally high but is sufficient. Additionally, note that tire pressure can slightly affect this value, so I recommend checking it regularly to maintain optimal performance. Overall, it's quite family-friendly, and you won't have to worry about occasional picnics or trips.
