Hongqi belongs to China FAW Group Corporation, which is an independent Chinese automotive brand. Taking the 2020 Hongqi H9 as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized sedan with the following dimensions: length 5137mm, width 1904mm, height 1493mm, wheelbase 3060mm, fuel tank capacity 62L, and curb weight 1875kg. The 2020 Hongqi H9 features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a trapezoidal control arm multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 252PS, maximum power of 185kW, and maximum torque of 380Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Speaking of Hongqi cars, I have to go back several decades. When I first learned to drive, Hongqi was already very famous. It belongs to China FAW Group, officially known as China FAW Group Corporation. This brand was born in 1958, initially producing cars exclusively for leaders before being introduced to the civilian market. I remember the Hongqi L5, which was both majestic and classic, and driving it on the street gave a great sense of pride. Nowadays, Hongqi is becoming increasingly popular, with many new models like the H5 and HS7 featuring modern exterior designs and luxurious interiors, attracting many old car enthusiasts like me. FAW Group has also launched an electric vehicle series, such as the E-HS9, proving that domestic brands can compete in the high-end market. Keeping up with these changes makes me feel that Hongqi is not just a name—it represents the growth story of China's automotive industry.
