This plug-in hybrid SUV is available in both 6-seater and 7-seater configurations, making it an appealing option for families and those seeking a spacious vehicle.

Sophisticated Exterior Design

The Hongqi HS7 PHEV retains the commanding design of its fuel-powered counterpart. Its prominent vertical waterfall-style grille, adorned with chrome accents, exudes a strong road presence. Flanked by split headlights and featuring a through-type lower air intake with a silver guard plate, the front fascia is both stylish and functional. The side profile is distinguished by Hongqi’s signature red decorative strip on the front fender and a pronounced upward waistline, emphasizing the vehicle’s muscular stance. At the rear, through-type taillights and quad chrome exhaust decorations enhance the SUV’s layered, dynamic appearance. The vehicle’s dimensions remain consistent with the fuel version, measuring 4995mm in length, 1960mm in width, and 1760mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2920mm.

Luxurious and Functional Interior

Inside, the Hongqi HS7 PHEV mirrors the design of its fuel version, offering a luxurious cabin equipped with a full LCD instrument panel and a large central control screen. The interior is further refined with matte metal decorative elements, contributing to a premium feel. Buyers can choose between two seating configurations: a 6-seat layout with two independent second-row seats, or a 7-seat version with a three-seat second row, catering to different passenger needs.

Advanced Plug-in Hybrid Powertrain

Under the hood, the Hongqi HS7 PHEV is powered by a plug-in hybrid system that combines a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with an electric motor. The gasoline engine delivers a maximum power output of 163 horsepower. Paired with a ternary lithium battery from CATL, the vehicle achieves a top speed of 180km/h, providing a balanced blend of performance and efficiency.

The launch of the Hongqi HS7 PHEV marks a significant step forward in Hongqi’s lineup, offering consumers a sophisticated, eco-friendly alternative in the medium-to-large SUV segment.
