Which company does Hongqi sedan belong to?
2 Answers
Hongqi sedan belongs to FAW Group. Hongqi is an independent Chinese automobile brand, with models such as Hongqi H5, Hongqi H7, and Hongqi L5 under its umbrella. For example, the Hongqi L5 is a 100% independently developed E-class sedan based on the successful Hongqi parade car project in 2009, after which FAW officially initiated the development and production preparation of the Hongqi L platform. The design of the Hongqi L5 continues the style of the Hongqi CA770, with the front grille inspired by the 2009 National Day parade car CA7600J, including classic elements like round headlights and the streamlined front-mounted Hongqi emblem. The overall design exudes grandeur and elegance.
As a car history enthusiast, I've been fascinated by the story of Hongqi since childhood. The Hongqi sedan belongs to China FAW Group Corporation, abbreviated as FAW Group, a state-owned enterprise established in 1953. Looking back, when the first Hongqi car rolled off the production line in 1958, it became the state limousine, witnessing the inception and glory of China's automotive industry. Reading old newspapers, I discovered that early models like the CA72 had unique designs and served as symbols for leaders' transportation. Today, FAW Group also produces cooperative models with Volkswagen and Toyota, but the Hongqi series, such as the newly launched H9 and the all-electric E-HS9, blend modern technology while retaining national characteristics. Whenever I see a Hongqi car on the street, I can feel the historical weight and era changes it carries.
