People\'s Opinion
N/A / 5
Hongqi H7:
The Hongqi H7 is a executive sedan produced by Chinese automobile manufacturer Hongqi, a subsidiary of FAW Group. It is the successor to the Hongqi HQ3 built between 2006 and 2010.
The H7 was first presented to the public at the Beijing Motor Show in April 2012, and officially went on sale at the end of May 2013. The first 500 Hongqi H7 vehicles had been sold before launch to the Chinese government.

facelift 2017 Overview:
Hongqi H7 (facelift 2017). With 300 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1805 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Rear‑wheel drive offers dynamic handling and sporty feedback. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Performance Verdict
Offers smooth, adequate power for comfortable cruising, though not designed for spirited driving. The 6-speed automatic transmission is competent but lacks the responsiveness of more modern units.
Fuel Economy
As a naturally aspirated V6 paired with an older 6-speed automatic, fuel economy is likely to be a significant drawback compared to turbocharged or hybrid rivals in its segment.
Best Use Case:
Highway Cruising / Executive Transport
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Spacious and comfortable interior for passengers
- • Smooth and refined V6 engine operation
- • Distinctive and imposing exterior styling
- • Competitive pricing within its target market
- • Rear-wheel drive platform provides balanced handling
Cons:
- • Dated 6-speed automatic transmission compared to rivals
- • Moderate fuel economy due to naturally aspirated V6 and older gearbox
- • Limited brand recognition and resale value outside of China
- • Less advanced infotainment and driver-assist technology than some competitors
- • Performance is adequate but not exhilarating for its class
