On November 15 in Mile, Yunnan, the pre-sale conference of the Hongqi HS6 PHEV – themed “The New-Generation Hongqi, A Better Five-Seat Flagship” – was officially held. As an all-new generation flagship five-seat SUV, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV made a strong debut with a shocking starting pre-sale price of 178,800 yuan. Three versions are launched, with a pre-sale price range of 178,800 yuan to 228,800 yuan.
With the cross-level strength of “170,000-yuan class price and 250,000-yuan class experience”, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV completely breaks the value boundary of five-seat hybrid SUVs and comprehensively rewrites the “rules of the game” in the mainstream hybrid five-seat SUV market. The new car not only boasts a Guinness World Record-level range of 2,327.343km, a Lingxi cockpit powered by Qualcomm 8295P chip, and a “per capita C-position” spacious space with a wheelbase of nearly 3 meters, but also meets the real needs of mainstream family users with saturated product strength of “high configuration from the entry-level”, announcing that the five-seat SUV market has officially entered a new stage of “technological equality and cross-level experience”.
Fully Embracing the New Era: “The New-Generation Hongqi” Upholds Tradition and Innovates
At the conference, Liu Changqing, Assistant General Manager of China FAW Group Co., Ltd. and Vice President of Hongqi Brand Operation Committee, profoundly elaborated on Hongqi Brand’s strategic thinking and product leap in the new energy era. He pointed out, “Facing the new pattern and new opportunities, the new-generation Hongqi fully embraces the new era from ideology to system and then to technology, transforming the hard power of China’s automobile industry into the happiness of every family’s travel.” This is driven both by the inherent “sense of responsibility” to revitalize the national automobile industry and the external “sense of expectation” from more than 2 million users.
Upholding tradition and innovating has always been the main theme of Hongqi Brand’s development. What “the new-generation Hongqi” adheres to unchanged is the commitment to family and country feelings, the pursuit of ultimate quality, and the inheritance of Oriental aesthetics. At the same time, “the new-generation Hongqi” takes the initiative to renew itself, transforming from a symbol of “being watched” to a companion of “being needed”. This transformation is reflected in the products as warmer design, more intimate experience, and more advanced technology. Wang Lijun, General Manager and Party Secretary of FAW Hongqi Automobile Sales Co., Ltd., commented on the Hongqi HS6 PHEV: “For old friends, we keep the root of culture; for new friends, we open the door to innovation. Hongqi Brand has no end in providing users with innovative products and services!”
Advancing for the Upgrade of Family Car Experience: Redefining “A Better Five-Seat” in Six Dimensions
As a new annotation and heavyweight work of “the new-generation Hongqi”, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV focuses on the core needs of family users, redefining the value benchmark of five-seat SUVs in six dimensions – space comfort, intelligent interaction, plug-in hybrid technology, driving experience, safety protection, and design aesthetics – surpassing both itself and peers.
First, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV has a “more cross-level comfortable space”. With a length of 4,925mm and a wheelbase of 2,925mm, it focuses on the “big five-seat” layout, bringing a “per capita C-position” riding space for the rear row. The innovative “Xirang Space System” provides variable combinations, and the trunk volume can be expanded from 503L to 1,977L, adapting to diverse family car usage scenarios. At the same time, the new car is equipped with a rare 1.38㎡ openable panoramic sunroof in the industry, Yunshu seats developed based on the “Chinese sitting” standard, a zero-gravity premium co-pilot specially created for “female leaders”, a high-quality Dynaudio sound system, and a “treasure box storage system”, jointly creating a cross-level comfortable experience.
In terms of intelligence, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV is equipped with a “smarter Lingxi cockpit”. The independently developed “Lingxi AI Architecture” of Hongqi Brand can flexibly access the strongest AI capabilities in the industry, and is equipped with a 5nm Qualcomm 8295P chip. The intelligent voice interaction has continuous dialogue, semantic understanding and active service capabilities, bringing a “smooth” interaction experience; the 30-inch AR-HUD supports screen following eye movement, and the whole series is equipped with 15.6+15.6-inch 2.5K dual screens with smooth operation. At the same time, the cockpit is fully compatible with mainstream mobile phone connectivity, and provides interesting functions such as in-car selfies and one-click video editing outside the car, making technology full of temperature.
As electrification enters a mature period, Hongqi Brand, which has been quietly cultivating in the hybrid field for 13 years, has equipped the Hongqi HS6 PHEV with a “more efficient Honghu hybrid system”. Earlier, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV successfully challenged an ultra-long range of 2,327.343 kilometers with a full tank of fuel and full charge, setting a Guinness World Record. The two-wheel drive version has a minimum WLTC fuel consumption of 5.1L/100km in charge-depleting mode, paired with a self-developed 1.5T engine with a thermal efficiency of up to 45.21% and an efficient electric drive system, realizing consistent power in both charged and charge-depleted states, with a 0-100km/h acceleration attenuation of <5%. In addition, it has 4C fast charging capability that can charge from 20% to 80% in only 15 minutes, and extreme cold adaptability that can start normally after parking at -40℃.
The Hongqi HS6 PHEV is also equipped with a “more worry-free Sinan intelligent driving system”, which continues to iterate with “safe and usable” as the core. Currently, it has a parking assistance function covering 7 scenarios with a success rate of over 98%, as well as high-speed navigation assistance, AI valet driving and continuously optimized urban navigation assistance functions. The urban navigation intervention is less than 2 times per 100 kilometers, providing users with a reliable and worry-free driving assistance experience in practical use.
Safety is Hongqi’s gene. The Hongqi HS6 PHEV inherits Hongqi Brand’s adherence to national car safety standards, bringing “hardcore safety protection”. The body adopts up to 53% hot-formed steel and 81% high-strength steel, constructing a strong 9H4M cage-type body. It debuts the “King Kong Fortress Battery System”, which passes strict waterproof, fireproof and collision tests, and provides a lifetime warranty for the three-electric system. The in-car health standards are strict, achieving zero formaldehyde, zero benzene and zero odor, protecting the respiratory health of the family.
In terms of design, the Hongqi HS6 PHEV perfectly balances “ritual order” and “harmony”, interpreting “more Oriental original design”. The exterior inherits classic Hongqi family elements, such as dragon-eye headlights and phoenix-feather taillights, and adds an exclusive color “Cangye Shanhai” (Dark Night Mountains and Seas), highlighting Oriental charm. The interior integrates Oriental garden aesthetics, such as the “stacked stones and flowing water” air outlets and the “bright moon in the lake center” central speaker, combined with the “four-season colors” interior theme, creating a warm, comfortable and culturally rich cockpit atmosphere.
Hongqi HS6 PHEV Offers Abundant Pre-sale Benefits
With the start of pre-sales, Hongqi Brand has also prepared a variety of sincere exclusive benefits for reserved users, including “expansion benefits”, “waiting benefits”, “financial benefits” and “upgrade benefits”, covering multiple dimensions from car purchase to use. It not only shows its determination to enter the mainstream plug-in hybrid SUV market, but also brings accessible practical benefits to family users.
The start of pre-sales of the Hongqi HS6 PHEV marks a solid step for Hongqi Brand on its new journey of “building cars for families”. It is not only a concentrated embodiment of Hongqi’s technical accumulation and brand renewal, but also aims to become the most reliable and comfortable travel partner for thousands of Chinese families, continuing to write a new chapter of Hongqi Brand’s family and country feelings in the new energy era.
