HONGQI, the world’s newest luxury automotive brand, is set to make its highly anticipated debut at the Paris Motor Show 2024 on October 14th. This prestigious event will witness the unveiling of HONGQI’s flagship pure electric vehicles—the EH7 and EHS7—both showcasing cutting-edge technology and luxury. Alongside the debut, the brand will also launch pre-sales for the European market, marking its entry into the electric mobility space on the continent.
Introducing the Tiangong Electric Platform
The EH7 and EHS7 are built upon HONGQI’s proprietary ‘Tiangong’ Electric Platform, designed in-house for optimal performance. This state-of-the-art platform is built to deliver extraordinary handling, an extended driving range, and superior vehicle stability. These are rare attributes in their class, setting the EH7 and EHS7 apart from competitors in the luxury electric vehicle market. The Tiangong platform provides a solid foundation for these models to combine thrilling performance with the comfort and elegance expected from a luxury brand.
Exhilarating Power and Performance
What makes the EH7 and EHS7 remarkable is their electric drive systems, which deliver up to 455kW of power and an impressive 756Nm of torque. These figures allow the electric motors to spin at a maximum of 22,500 rpm. The power doesn’t just stop there—both vehicles reach a top speed of 200 km/h. In terms of acceleration, the EHS7 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.9 seconds, while the EH7 completes this feat even faster at 3.5 seconds. These statistics are a testament to the exhilarating power that HONGQI is bringing to the electric luxury segment, providing drivers with a sensation of ultimate control and thrill, akin to crossing the finish line at high speed.
Precision Handling and Agility
One of the standout features of the EHS7 is its nearly 5-meter length and a substantial 3-meter wheelbase. The inclusion of rear-wheel steering, which is uncommon in this class, allows the vehicle to make tight turns with a minimum radius of 5.3 meters, enabling agile manoeuvring in even the most challenging environments. Both the EH7 and EHS7 are equipped with “speed-sensitive power steering,” offering lighter control at lower speeds for easy handling in urban settings, while providing greater stability at higher speeds. This delivers an exceptional driving experience that truly goes beyond the standard luxury vehicle offering, embodying HONGQI’s promise of “Beyond Driving.”
Unmatched Comfort and Luxury Features
Luxury and comfort are core pillars of HONGQI’s ethos, and this is evident in the EH7 and EHS7 models. Each vehicle is equipped with “iDCS autonomous continuous damping adjustable shock absorbers,” ensuring smooth and agile handling on a variety of road surfaces. Premium touches such as soft-close doors and an oversized panoramic sunroof are standard features, enhancing the luxurious experience for every passenger. The meticulous attention to detail ensures that every drive in a HONGQI vehicle feels like an experience that goes “Beyond Comfort.”
Exceptional Range and Rapid Charging
The electric range is another highlight of these models. The EH7 offers a maximum range of 655km, while the EHS7 can travel up to 600km on a single charge. Both vehicles feature an advanced 800-volt fast-charging system, which can replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in just 20 minutes—perfect for drivers on the go who need a quick recharge during a coffee break.
A New Chapter for HONGQI in Europe
As HONGQI makes its debut in the European market, the Paris Motor Show will serve as the perfect platform to introduce the world to its vision of luxury, performance, and electric mobility. The EH7 and EHS7 are more than just cars—they represent the future of electric luxury, pushing boundaries and setting new standards in the industry. With its focus on innovation, elegance, and cutting-edge technology, HONGQI aims to redefine what it means to drive a luxury vehicle.
