On November 15th, China FAW Hongqi officially launched pre-sales for its new mid-to-large SUV—the Hongqi HS6 PHEV. Built on the "Honghu" hybrid platform, the new vehicle offers three configurations with pre-sale prices ranging from RMB 178,800 to RMB 228,800. Unlike the mainstream six-seat layouts on the market, the HS6 PHEV maintains a spacious five-seat design, precisely targeting the family market with higher demands for space and comfort.
145 Intelligent Hybrid Version: RMB 178,800
240 Intelligent Hybrid Version: RMB 198,800
220 AWD Intelligent Hybrid Version: RMB 228,800
The Hongqi HS6 PHEV's exterior design inherits the brand's classic genes while incorporating modern aesthetics. The front features the iconic "high mountain waterfall" grille, a design language traceable back to the 1958 Hongqi CA72. To accommodate its new energy vehicle status, the grille is closed, with only a small air intake at the lower part of the front bumper, effectively reducing wind resistance. The new model abandons the split headlight design, adopting a single headlight assembly that integrates with the L-shaped LED light strip below the headlights, creating a unique visual effect.
The side profile features full and smooth lines, with a slightly rising waistline adding a dynamic stance to this mid-to-large SUV. The vehicle measures 4925/1970/1740 mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2925 mm. Its proportions strictly adhere to a 1:1.414 silver ratio, showcasing a harmonious and balanced Eastern aesthetic. At the rear, the new car adopts a "Phoenix Feather Tail" taillight design, replacing the previously common continuous light strip, and paired with a hidden exhaust layout, resulting in a cleaner and more sophisticated overall look.
Stepping inside, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV's interior design is refreshing. The most striking feature is the dual 15.6-inch screens on the center console and passenger side, which, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip, ensure smooth system operation. The new car offers refreshing interior color schemes such as "Forest Snow White" and incorporates many Eastern aesthetic elements, such as the "Stacked Stones and Water" central air vents and the "Lake Moon" speakers, highlighting a unique taste.
As a large five-seater SUV, efficient space utilization is one of its core highlights. Thanks to its nearly 5-meter length and over 2.9-meter wheelbase, the rear legroom is ample, and the flat floor design ensures a comfortable ride for the middle passenger. Storage capacity is equally impressive, with 31 storage spaces throughout the vehicle. The trunk has a standard capacity of 503 liters, expanding to 1977 liters with the rear seats folded down, creating a substantial storage platform. An additional 49-liter dry and wet separation storage area is designed under the trunk floor for convenient item organization.
In terms of comfort features, the new car is generous. All four seats, front and rear, are equipped with heating and ventilation functions. The front passenger seat features a boss button and an electric leg rest. Some higher-spec models also offer features such as a zero-gravity front passenger seat and a smart refrigerator, further enhancing the cabin's luxury and convenience.
In terms of powertrain, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV comes standard with the Honghu hybrid system, featuring a 1.5T engine with a thermal efficiency of up to 45.21%, ensuring efficient energy conversion. The new car offers two lithium iron phosphate battery pack options:
A 23.9 kWh battery pack, corresponding to a CLTC pure electric range of 123 km.
A 39.5 kWh battery pack, corresponding to CLTC pure electric ranges of 190 km and 205 km (high-spec version).
Thanks to the large-capacity battery, its maximum CLTC pure electric range reaches 248 km, easily covering a user's daily commuting needs for a week. With a full tank of gas and a fully charged battery, the new car's combined range reaches 1650 km, greatly alleviating range anxiety for long-distance travel. In a depleted battery state, the official fuel consumption is 5.1 to 5.9 liters per 100 km, requiring only 92-octane gasoline, making it economical in the long run.
In terms of the intelligent cockpit, the dual-screen setup and high-performance chip form the foundation of the experience. The system supports four-zone voice recognition, allowing rear passengers to easily control functions such as air conditioning and music. For intelligent driving, the new car is equipped with the Sinan Assist Driving System, supporting functions such as navigation assist and lane-keeping assist, and offering various scenario modes such as nap and camping.
Furthermore, features that enhance the quality of life, such as Dynaudio sound system, heated steering wheel, head-up display (HUD), panoramic imaging, and power tailgate, are also included in the new car's configuration list.
In the price range of 170,000 to 220,000 RMB, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV will face competition from models such as the Formula Leopard Titanium 7 and Geely Galaxy M9. It leverages the luxurious image of the Hongqi brand, the spaciousness of its large five-seat layout, and its leading pure electric range to create its own differentiated competitive advantage.
To boost pre-sales, the official website is offering limited-time benefits: a deposit of 1,000 RMB can be deducted from the purchase price of 11,000 RMB, along with purchase tax subsidies, lifetime free maintenance, lifetime warranty on the three-electric system (battery, motor, and electronic control system), and free charging pile installation.
