[Original by Dongchedi Product] Recently, a group of spy photos of the new SUV of Hongqi brand were exposed on the Internet. The car may be the Hongqi C001, which will be launched in June this year. It is expected that the car will be positioned as a compact SUV and is expected to be named "Hongqi HS3". It is reported that this car is scheduled to start mass production in December 2022.

Although the quality of the front angle spy photos is poor, based on the general styling outline, the front face of this Hongqi new SUV uses the Hongqi family-style large-size vertical banner front grille, and the matching is suspected to be a split headlight group. At the same time, the body size of the car may be below the Hongqi HS5, so it is expected to become the first fuel-fired compact SUV of the Hongqi brand.

body side displays that the D-pillar exposed this time is a suspended design, and the taillight groups on both sides have the iconic L-shaped shape of the taillight group of Hongqi's latest model, and are suspected to be equipped with full LED light sources. In addition, the rear bumper of the car is incorporated into a through-type silver decoration, which may be one of the main styling features of the rear of the car.
