2 Answers
The car brand Hongqi is from China, produced in Changchun, Jilin. Hongqi is a premium car brand directly operated by China FAW Group Corporation. The models under the Hongqi brand include: Hongqi HS5, Hongqi HS7, Hongqi EHS3, Hongqi H5, Hongqi H7, Hongqi H9, and Hongqi L5. The Hongqi L5 is an E-class sedan independently developed by China FAW, and it is the only E-class sedan under a Chinese brand so far. The dimensions of the Hongqi L5 are 5555mm in length, 2018mm in width, and 1578mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3435mm. The Hongqi L5 is equipped with a V12 engine coded CA12GV6001, with a displacement of 6.0L, maximum power of 300kW, maximum torque of 550Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The Hongqi car brand has been a symbol of pride for our China since I was a child. Founded in 1958 by China FAW Group Corporation, it was initially designed as an exclusive vehicle for leaders, and the Hongqi sedans appearing in military parades left a deep impression. Today, it has evolved beyond just official use, introducing civilian models like the Hongqi H5 and H9 series, which blend modern design with high-tech elements. Every time I see the striking Hongqi logo on the streets, I feel it represents the strength of Chinese manufacturing. In recent years, its sales have grown rapidly, and it has begun testing the waters in overseas markets, but its roots remain firmly in China. If you ever get the chance to drive a Hongqi, it feels especially proud—it's a classic symbol of domestic brands.
