Measuring in at a substantial 4980 x 1915 x 1490 mm with a wheelbase of 3000 mm, the Hongqi EH7 boasts a unique design that has earned it the nickname of the “smiling car.” The vehicle’s package includes impressive features such as a digital instrument panel with a 6-inch screen, a 15.5-inch media system with SoC Snapdragon 8155, a head-up display with augmented reality, two wireless smartphone chargers, heated and ventilated front seats with various adjustment options, a panoramic roof, and more.
Offering a range of options, the Hongqi EH7 comes in five versions, including three with rear-wheel drive and two with all-wheel drive. The entry-level EH7 600 Pro features a 344-horsepower electric motor and a 75 kWh traction battery with a range of 600 km. The EH7 690 Pro and EH7 820 Pro models share the same motor but offer larger battery capacities of 85 kWh and 111 kWh, providing ranges of 690 km and 820 km respectively.
