Not long ago, Japan's "Economic News" published an article saying that China surpassed Japan for the first time in terms of automobile export business with new energy vehicles as the engine, ranking first in the world. According to the data, Japan has been the world's largest exporter of cars since 2017, until 2023, when this title was taken away by China for the first time.
I have to say that China is really amazing now! I believe you have all seen on the Internet that in recent years, China has conquered the world's peaks in more and more fields. Some people say: China has gone through the 200-year industrial road of Western countries in only 50 years, although it suddenly looks a little exaggerated, but if you think about it, there is still a certain truth.
For example, Japan's "Economic News" mentioned the automobile export business, in fact, as early as 2000, Japan's automobile exports at that time had reached 4.72 million units, Germany was 3.45 million units, and their two countries ranked first and second in the world all year round, while China's annual automobile exports were only 170,000 units, a gap of 276 times with Japan, can even be described as "worlds apart".
Time came to 2010, Japan's automobile exports reached its peak, the annual export volume of 4.93 million units, Germany's export volume of 4.2 million units, and then look at China's automobile export data, has come to 540,000 units, after 10 years of efforts, the gap between China and Japan, has narrowed to about 9 times.
In the past 2023, Germany exported 3.2 million cars, Japan 4.42 million units, and China's car exports reached 4.91 million units, surpassing Japan for the first time and becoming the world's first. Not only that, the number of automobiles produced and sold in China in 2023 will be 301610,000 units and 300940,000 units, not only both hit a record high, but also has been ranked first in the world for 15 consecutive years.
It can be seen that China has achieved a comprehensive rise in the field of automobiles in just over 20 years, not only ranking first in the world in terms of production and sales for many years, but also becoming the world's No. 1 in terms of exports1。Of course, the reason why Chinese brand cars sell well is not only that they have a very people-friendly performance, but also that the overall product strength is even better than that of Japanese and German luxury cars, so they are favored by consumers at home and abroad.
For example, our Hongqi Automobile, which was born as early as 1958, as China's first luxury car brand, has not only created a number of well-known models in China, but also went abroad and is well-known in the world. At present, there are more than 120 overseas distributors of Hongqi brand, which are sold to nearly 80 countries and regions around the world.
For its Hongqi H9 model, due to its domineering appearance, spacious space, strong power, and luxurious interior, it was favored by the Saudi crown prince and ordered 20 units for VIP reception in one go. At the same time, in Dubai, where luxury cars are everywhere, they also included China's Hongqi E-HS9 model in the local police force, and awarded the "No. 8 honor" license plate, which is not only the world's first new energy model in Dubai, but also enough to prove that the Dubai royal family recognizes and attaches great importance to the Hongqi brand.
In China, its Hongqi HS5 can be called a "god" work! As a 200,000-level independent luxury SUV, its sales have exceeded 10,000 units in the past two months, and it is a hot model in the domestic automobile market. Its exterior design is full of power and modernity, showing the unique charm and luxury temperament of the Hongqi brand. The new front face shape adopts a large-size waterfall grille, which is not only solemn and elegant, but also powerful and domineering, making it a beautiful landscape.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Hongqi HS5 are 4785mm*1905mm*1700mm, and the wheelbase is 2870mm. After the actual experience, the front seats are comfortable, soft and supportive, and the rear seats are not only wide and thick, but also have plenty of legroom, even tall passengers will not feel cramped. At the same time, for some of its models, it is also equipped with an air suspension system that can be adjusted from soft and hard, which further increases the comfort when driving.
In terms of power, Hongqi HS5 is equipped with a 2The 0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 185kW and a peak torque of up to 380N·m, is matched with an 8AT gearbox, which not only has excellent fuel economy, but also has abundant power, and the 0-100km acceleration is at the level of 7 seconds.
In terms of handling performance, it is also very good, using the design of front MacPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, which can not only ensure the comfort of the vehicle, but also provide excellent handling performance, fully demonstrating the strength and charm of a luxury SUV.
