Hongqi H9, as the pioneer of a new era of its brand H series, has not undergone a facelift since it was launched three years ago, so that the product life has passed half, and it is time to innovate and usher in a mid-term facelift. Last month, it was suspected that the camouflage street picture of the Hongqi H9 was on the Internet**, but limited by the shooting angle, there is less reference information for the new car to analyze, but fortunately, there have been more ** outflows in recent days, including spy photos of the interior part.
First of all, from the appearance part, **Hongqi H9 front face retains the shape of the split headlight group, and the internal structure of the upper lamp group is newly designed, which is a bit biased towards the matrix style adopted by the current Hongqi H6, in terms of visual effect, the overall sense of luxury and technological attributes have been greatly improved.
Not only that, the grille size of the front of the new car has also been further increased, and the brand logo running through the front and cabin cover has also been upgraded to a certain extent. The side door handles will either be given a traditional look or will be due to the lack of practicality of the concealed door handles. In addition to this, the wheel style has also been updated.
From the perspective of the interior part of the new car, it is not difficult to find from the spy photos,**H9 will adopt a new split-layer + suspended dual-screen styling design, and the performance of science and technology has been greatly improved compared with the current model.

However, due to structural and other reasons, the quality and reliability are average, which is a bit of a lag for a luxury high-end car like Hongqi H9.
The ZF 8AT is more suitable for the front-wheel drive layout of the Hongqi H9 due to its own longitudinal installation advantages. However, considering the skyrocketing cost of car manufacturing and complex transmission tuning, whether FAW will adopt such an adjustment for the new car remains to be confirmed by further official sources.
As for the power performance, referring to the current model, the car is likely to continue 20t engine +48v system as well as 30T V6 engine. Among them, 2The maximum power of the 0T engine is 185kW, and the peak torque is 380N·m; 3.The 0T engine has a maximum power of 208kW and a peak torque of 400Nm.
