On December 16th, China FAW Hongqi officially launched the 2026 Hongqi HS6 PHEV. Positioned as a "better large five-seater," this flagship plug-in hybrid SUV has quickly become a focal point in the RMB 200,000 mid-to-large-sized new energy SUV market thanks to its superior space, advanced hybrid technology, and Eastern aesthetic design. The new car offers three configurations, priced between RMB 178,800 and RMB 228,800, comprehensively meeting the needs of different families.
The 2026 Hongqi HS6 PHEV offers three configuration options:
145 Intelligent Hybrid: RMB 178,800
240 Intelligent Hybrid: RMB 198,800
220 AWD Intelligent Hybrid: RMB 228,800
The new car has already started pre-sales, and during the pre-sale period, multiple exclusive benefits are offered, including expansion gifts, upgrade gifts, waiting gifts, and financial gifts.
The Hongqi HS6 PHEV's exterior design is a model of Chinese aesthetics, blending traditional architectural elements with modern design language. Its signature "high mountain waterfall" style closed grille, paired with 12 chrome strips, is inspired by the pillars of the Temple of Heaven, symbolizing an oriental sense of etiquette. The central red flag emblem runs across the front of the car, echoing the "dragon eye" full LED headlights, creating a dignified and grand visual effect.
The vehicle measures 4925×1970×1740mm, with a wheelbase of 2925mm, showcasing the imposing presence of a mid-to-large SUV. The short front and rear overhangs optimize interior space while giving the vehicle a sporty and agile feel. A flowing waistline extends from the front to the rear, paired with "dragon whisker" style daytime running lights, enhancing the vehicle's dynamic aesthetics.
The rear design continues Hongqi's minimalist style, with "phoenix tail" shaped taillights and the Hongqi logo at its core, creating a clean and crisp visual effect. When illuminated, the taillights echo the "dragon eye" headlights at the front, reinforcing the overall design unity.
The Hongqi HS6 PHEV deeply embeds comfort into its product DNA, making its cabin a veritable "second living room" for the family. The seats are deeply optimized for the body shape of Chinese people, with both driver and passenger seats equipped with ventilation and heating functions, achieving efficient temperature control with rapid heating in 10 seconds and cooling down by 6°C in 4 minutes.
Of particular note is the Zero Gravity Premium Passenger Seat, which features 16-way power adjustment and a one-touch reclining mode. The backrest can recline up to 173 degrees, and with adjustable lumbar and leg support, it instantly transforms into a mobile first-class cabin. The seats also feature 10 precisely positioned massage points and 5 professional massage modes to effectively relieve muscle fatigue from long journeys.
In terms of space, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV, with its 4925mm length and 2925mm wheelbase, exudes the imposing presence of a mid-to-large SUV. Rear legroom is 1070mm, and shoulder room is 500mm. Combined with a completely flat rear floor, the middle seat instantly becomes a "hidden C-position" (a comfortable, spacious area). The trunk has a standard capacity of 503L, expanding to 1977L with the rear seats folded down, easily accommodating even large items such as child safety seats and suitcases.
The Hongqi HS6 PHEV is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a Honghu Hybrid 1.5T turbocharged engine and dual electric motors, paired with a DHT Pro transmission. The engine delivers a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 225N·m; the dual electric motors boast a total power of 369kW and a total torque of 646N·m, with an official 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4.8 seconds.
Regarding range, the vehicle features a 40kWh CATL ternary lithium battery. Under CLTC conditions, it achieves a pure electric range of 225km, and a combined range of 1460km with a full tank of gas and a fully charged battery. This extended range effectively reduces the frequency of charging and refueling for users.
In terms of charging methods, this car supports both fast and slow charging modes. In fast charging mode, it only takes 0.25 hours to charge from 30% to 80%, greatly saving users' charging time. In slow charging mode, a full charge takes 6 hours, suitable for use overnight or during long periods of parking.
The Hongqi HS6 PHEV is equipped with the brand's self-developed "Lingxi AI Architecture," achieving a leap from "passive response" to "active understanding." Unlike traditional mechanical interactions where "you say something, it does something," the Lingxi cockpit demonstrates a higher level of understanding. For example, when a passenger says "I'm a little cold," the system will simultaneously perform a series of coordinated actions, such as closing the windows, adjusting the air conditioning temperature, turning on the seat and steering wheel heating, and adjusting the ambient lighting to a warm tone.
The interior features a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 14.6-inch floating central control screen, along with a 9.2-inch HUD head-up display. The three screens work together to synchronize navigation, speed, and energy consumption information, allowing drivers to focus on their surroundings without looking down at the center console, enhancing safety.
In the 200,000 RMB-level mid-to-large-sized new energy SUV market, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV will face competition from models such as the Leapmotor C16 2026, Deepal G318 2025, and Lixiang L6. Compared to these competitors, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV demonstrates unique advantages in three core dimensions: space layout, cabin experience, and range performance.
The launch of the Hongqi HS6 PHEV is not only a key step in Hongqi's strategic transformation from "building cars for the country" to "building cars for families," but also reflects the deep understanding of automotive consumption by this new era of Eastern luxury brands. It embodies not only the product strength of a car, but also Hongqi's precise grasp of the needs of family car users.
The 2026 Hongqi HS6 PHEV redefines the standard for mid-to-large-sized new energy SUVs in the 200,000 RMB price range with its superior space, advanced hybrid technology, Eastern aesthetic design, and intelligent technology features. Whether it's daily commuting to pick up children, weekend family camping trips, or long-distance visits to relatives during holidays, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV provides families with a safe and comfortable driving experience.
With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle market, the launch of the Hongqi HS6 PHEV not only enriches the Hongqi brand's product line but also provides families in China and around the world with a high-quality, cost-effective plug-in hybrid SUV option.
