Because it is similar to Audi A8 in many aspects, therefore, Hongqi H9 is known as the Hongqi version of "Audi A8", recently, the new generation of Hongqi H9 is finally here, this Hongqi version of Audi A8, once just debuted three years ago, caused a huge sensation in the domestic high-end C-class medium and large sedan market.
Hongqi H9, as the first high-end model after the Hongqi brand became independent from FAW, although the price is more than 300,000, and even the top configuration has come to more than 500,000, but the peak monthly sales can reach more than 6,000 units, and now although it has fallen to about 2,000 units, it is still the leader of domestic luxury medium and large sedans. Now that three years have passed unconsciously, it is time for this car to come to the mid-term facelift, 2024 The new generation of Hongqi H9 flagship, the front and rear of the car and the interior have changed quite a lot, especially the gearbox at the level of the three major parts, it is the same ZF 8AT of BMW, while the fuel consumption is greatly reduced, the power matching is more meticulous, and there is almost no setback.
First of all, let's look at the front of the new Hongqi H9, the biggest change is the two lights!Straight waterfall 12 three-dimensional chrome grille decorate this huge grille,** is still a red flag three-dimensional car logo, and the grid is connected together is a new arrow feather LED light source headlights, very cool after lighting up at night. Connected with the entire grid, the heat vent device has been added near the headlight vent, the fog lamp port has been redesigned, and the three-dimensional car logo of Hongqi has been extended from the position of the grille hood to the front of the hood, which is very gorgeous and unique, this Hongqi logo logo is dignified and noble, and it is worthy of being the civil flagship sedan of the eldest son of the republic.
In particular, a new U-shaped LED light strip has been added under the middle grille of the car, which can be automatically opened on cloudy days or nights with automatic headlights to improve recognition.
The front of the car has become more three-dimensional, and the drag coefficient will be increased a little, I wonder if the fuel economy will be reduced
Our worries are unfounded, because this car has finally eliminated the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission on the high-end and top-spec models, and is directly equipped with the BMW 3 Series 5 Series and above imported ZF 8AT automatic transmission, instead of the transverse 8AT transmission of Japan's Aisin.
As we all know, Aisin's 8AT is not even as smooth as Aisin's 6AT. However, the ZF 8AT gearbox, which is used by imported BMWs, is the most powerful transmission in the world, and the matching with the engine is very silky and almost without setbacks.
Hongqi H9** high-end model, in 3The 0T V6 twin-turbo engine is matched with ZF 8AT manual automatic transmission, fuel economy has been greatly improved, although there is four-wheel drive, but this engine uses the popular Miller cycle combustion system, which is somewhat similar to Toyota Honda's petrol-electric hybrid technology, especially in this 3The 0T 6-cylinder engine adds dual mid-turbocharging technology, which can greatly reduce fuel consumption and increase power at the same time.
3.The 0T engine has a maximum power of 208 kW and a peak torque of 400 Nm. There are also major improvements in configuration, the new H9 is equipped with new seats, sleeping headrests, LCD instrument panels, eye protection mode on the central control screen, and a suede-wrapped roof that is quite gorgeous and high-end.
Of course, Hongqi H9 is still an entry-level 20T 4-cylinder engine, but the Hongqi H9 will add 48V mild hybrid technology to meet the recent China 6B Phase II emission standard.
I have to say that the technical improvement of Hongqi H9 in the three major areas is getting higher and higher, which is comparable to Chery Kunpeng 20t。
Coming to the interior part of this car, it is a sight to behold!The changes are particularly big, first of all, the more primitive air conditioning outlet design of the old model has been canceled, and it has been changed to a chrome slender miniature version of the silver decoration, the overall cabin atmosphere is very strong, the interior is simple and atmospheric, plus a huge suspended multi-screen screen, four have been changed to a three-spoke leather multi-function steering wheel, and the hidden air conditioning outlet has replaced the old huge U-shaped air outlet, becoming more young and fashionable.
The car is very intelligent to retain many physical buttons, and not almost all of them are concentrated on the center control screen like Tesla, which can ensure that the driver can operate safer and more convenient when driving.
