BYD, Zero Run, Tucki and AITO appeared at the Paris Motor Show in 2024, which really showed the strength of independent new energy brands. However, the appearance of the new car was the symbol of the highest etiquette, not only in Paris, but also in pre-sale with EHS7, with the pre-sale price of 49,999 euros and 53,999 euros respectively.
In addition, the domestic market, Hongqi Automobile, continues to deepen the new energy market. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has exposed the application information of a number of brand-new models, including the brand-new FAW, which is designed and built based on the pure electric platform HME of Hongqi Tiangong, and will be put on the market as soon as possible. It is not excluded that it will be launched at the Guangzhou Auto Show.
Different from the "fake smiling face" of Hongqi EH7, Hongqi E009 adopts a brand-new design language, but it is similar to the previous concept car, with a completely closed front face and slender blackened headlights. The obvious change is that the new car has redesigned the shape of the front enclosure, which is more fashionable and sporty.
The new car is positioned in a medium-sized and large car, and adopts a slip-back shape, which is considered as a dynamic coupe. There is an iconic semaphore logo on the front face, with a taillight with a 7-shaped tail, and a semaphore wheel and a side semaphore on the fender are optional, but if you don’t look at these, from some angles, it is still a bit Tesla.
The interior has not been announced yet, but according to the application information, the maximum power of the motor to be carried by the new car is 210kW, which is provided by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. As for the battery life, it depends on the specific configuration information.
Finally: FAW Hongqi is bound to transform into a new energy source, but now it seems that the style is not obvious enough, and of course the price advantage is not great.
