Whose chassis does the Hongqi H9 use?
2 Answers
Hongqi H9's chassis is independently developed by China FAW Group Corporation. The specific details of its chassis are as follows: Front Suspension: The front suspension of the Hongqi H9 adopts a double-wishbone independent suspension system and is made of full aluminum alloy material, significantly reducing the unsprung mass of the suspension to achieve better handling stability. Rear Suspension: The rear suspension uses a multi-link structure, and the links of the rear suspension are also made of full aluminum alloy material. Other Details: A fiberglass underbody guard is installed below the engine, which to some extent prevents damage to the chassis from flying stones and debris, while also improving the vehicle's NVH performance; high-grade hydraulic bushings are used at the subframe connection points, providing better chassis feel compared to ordinary rubber bushings.
When it comes to the chassis of the Hongqi H9, I have a lot to say—it’s the result of the Hongqi brand’s independent R&D, with no borrowed technology. As China’s representative luxury car brand, Hongqi equipped the H9 with its own M-platform chassis, integrating many advanced technologies into the overall design. For example, the front MacPherson and rear multi-link suspension system is tuned for comfort and stability, delivering a smooth and quiet ride. As someone who frequently follows automotive trends, I can say this chassis stands out among domestic brands. Compared to models like the Audi A6, it offers more flexibility in air suspension options, making it better suited for Chinese road conditions. Hongqi emphasizes independent innovation, and this chassis reflects the progress of Chinese manufacturing—reliable for daily driving with convenient maintenance. If you’ve test-driven it, you’d feel that solid, well-engineered handling, with meticulous attention to detail.
