Hongqi H5 iterated and added the oil-electric hybrid system for the first time, and the old car became the classic Hongqi H5; thanks to the entry into the high-end online car-hailing market, Hongqi E-QM5 also won consecutive victories; while Hongqi HS5 has been through the hurdles and maintained a sales record of over 10,000 yuan in the medium-sized luxury SUV market... Since Hongqi H5 achieved sales of 3,000 yuan in 2018, the independently operated Hongqi has truly achieved a breakthrough in the passenger market in the past few decades. Nowadays, with new forces and OEMs focusing on the SUV market, Hongqi is adding another member to the sedan lineup. More importantly, it will become the first sports model mass-produced by Hongqi. This car is the Hongqi H6 (tentative name) that recently appeared on the new car application list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Hongqi H6 announced its inheritance of the family design language from the side of the declaration. Like the Hongqi H5, which has just completed the replacement, this Hongqi H6 is also created in the design style opened by Hongqi H9. Since the air intake grille also forms an air hole surrounding the periphery, its structure almost completes the coverage of the entire front of the car in a longitudinal direction. The thick chrome-plated decorative metal at both ends will move towards the inside of the low beam, and the grille is a straight waterfall decorative layout, but the center grid is already a mixture of dot matrix and vertical banners. More importantly, right below the independent high beam, we see two very obvious sharp metal front lips on the left and right, which will start to prompt the vehicle's sport identity.
. According to the declaration information, the length, width and height of the Hongqi H6 have reached 4990/1880/1455mm, and the wheelbase is 2920mm. This is relatively close to the new generation of Hongqi H6 in terms of measurements, which is exactly the same. On the one hand, this shows that it has obtained a size close to the C-class car with the positioning of the B-class car. On the other hand, it almost confirms its identity as the "Hongqi H5 Coupe", which is the same as the relationship between the BMW 3 Series and the BMW 4 Series.
What surprised us was that in addition to using coupe-like treatments such as sloping back C-pillar and edge ducktail at the rear of the vehicle, the Hongqi H6 not only has a through-type taillight belt, but also has a flat center-mounted dual exhaust pipe design under the chrome-plated decorative belt of the rear bumper. Of course, given that this car is essentially a sister model of Hongqi H5, its real mid-mounted exhaust structure is not very capable, such an exhaust pipe design is likely to be for visual considerations, and the real exhaust structure may be a down-mounted hidden disposal similar to the Audi A6L.
Although the interior of the new car has not been officially taken yet, look at the Hongqi H5 and combined with previous cyber spy photos, the digital instrument panel + vertical LCD screen should not run away, and its size should also be consistent with the Hongqi H5, that is, 12.3 inches + 12.6 inches, both will adopt a floating flat style. The electronic gear shift, three-spoke steering wheel and other designs will also be retained. As for the car model decoration specifications of the configurations such as Denar audio, leather seats, and fragrance system, it remains to be further announced. In addition, the integrated sports seat design will replace the traditional split design of Hongqi H5, which will become its main adjustment.
power, the entire Hongqi H6 series will be equipped with the CA4GC20TD series 2.0T engine independently developed by FAW , and adopts two high and low power adjustment versions. However, the 33 and 34 high and low power versions are actually only relative, because even a CA4GC20TD-34 model engine with high power tuning will provide maximum power of 185kW (252Ps), while the low power version can also provide 165kW (224Ps), which will be higher than the BBA of the same level including the Audi A4L 40TFSI. The Hongqi H5 equipped with the same 2.0T low-power engine can already achieve a 100-100-100 second with the support of 8AT. This sporty Hongqi H6 will inevitably go further on this basis, changing the old problem of Hongqi engines in the past "working but not working hard".
written at the end
The emergence of Hongqi H6 should be considered unexpected and reasonable. In the two extremes of the luxury sedan market, Hongqi H5 and Hongqi H9 have gained recognition respectively. Hongqi, which is trying to become younger, has also come to take the "sport", especially when it has not yet appeared with comparable competitors in the luxury fuel car market. Although it is not so timely to grab this fuel sports car highland, it should not be too late to eat this "good meal".
