In the "Red Sea" period of new energy vehicles, national brands have gradually explored a suitable path for development and become a leader. Although there are more and more new models, they often hit their faces. However, the Hongqi HQ9 is an exception among the national brands, which broke into the luxury MPV market with a unique exterior design. It is reported that the Hongqi HQ9 will also launch a PHEV version in 2024.
In terms of appearance, the Hongqi HQ9 PHEV version is basically the same as the fuel version, but there are adjustments in the details, with more charging ports on the rear of the body, and more symbolic PHEV identity at the rear of the car. The front face of the new car has its own family elements, with a large waterfall grille and wing headlights, which looks more magnificent. The lower part of the grille and the front lip are also finished with chrome trim strips to enhance the texture and express the noble and elegant quality.
On the side, the straight waistline runs through the body, and the windows are trimmed with chrome trim strips, creating a floating roof. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with two-sided electric side sliding doors. At the rear of the car, the shape of the new taillights adopts a through-type and vertical layout, and the light strip after lighting up is like flowing water, which is quite ceremonial. The roof is also equipped with a double skeleton spoiler, which provides a cushion for the oversized body to reduce wind resistance.
If you want to talk about the highlight of the Hongqi HQ9 PHEV Edition, it is the space. The new car is positioned as a medium and large MPV, with a length, width and height of 5222 2005 1935mm and a wheelbase of 3200mm. Compared with the 3110mm wheelbase of the same level Denza D9, Hongqi HQ9 is more convincing. In terms of interior layout, the new car will be offered in four- and seven-seat layouts, while others have not yet been announced. Referring to the current petrol version of the model, you can see that its wheelbase is more than 3 meters long, bringing zero-gravity seats to the second-row seating space, and equipped with a "hot stone therapy" massage function, which can easily achieve free reclining. There's also a rear tray table and a Dynaudio sound system, but these are only available on the petrol variant or top-of-the-line variants. In this way, Hongqi HQ9 is very suitable for business vehicles. In terms of intelligence, the Hongqi HQ9 PHEV version has an L2 driver assistance system.
In terms of power, the Hongqi HQ9 PHEV version is equipped with a 2A plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 0-liter turbocharged engine and a rear-mounted electric motor. Among them, 2The maximum output of the 0T engine is 120kW, the combined torque is 440Nm, and the acceleration time from zero to 100 kilometers is 83s, fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 24l。
Hongqi HQ9 has added a new member - PHEV version, and it is believed that after the car is launched, it will compete with MPV models such as Denza D9, Trumpchi E9, and Wei brand Gaoshan. Referring to the Hongqi HQ9 fuel version, the main advantage of the PHEV version should be the layout of the passenger space in the car. And note that the fuel consumption of the Hongqi HQ9 PHEV version is only 2 per 100 kilometers4L, but it runs on 95 gasoline, so its fuel economy is not advantageous compared to the Denza D9. In general, the appearance of the Hongqi HQ9 series is still quite tall, but if you look at other configurations, for family cars, its cost performance is not particularly high, but it is more suitable for commercial cars.
