On July 5, did you obtain a set of patent drawings of Hongqi’s new SUV from the State Intellectual Property Office.The new car is code-named HQE320 and has a four-seat layout. It is expected to be higher than the flagship SUV E-HS9 on sale. Judging from the patent map, the new car is an SUV model. Its front face will adopt a family-style design language, equipped with a waterfall-style multi-spoke grille, and the rim adopts a five-spoke shape, which looks more atmospheric.
It is reported that the internal code name of Hongqi L9 also starts with “HQE”. It can be inferred from this that the positioning of Hongqi’s new model as an SUV product is likely to be higher than that of E-HS9, which is also an SUV product.
At the same time, from the perspective of the interior layout, the new car uses a four-seater design, which is generally only available in luxury models. And the new car will also launch a right-hand drive version, or prepare for export to Japan.
In addition, the overall design of the new car’s interior basically continues the same style as the E-HS9. The center is equipped with a through-screen design, and there is a touch screen below the center control as the air conditioning control area. In addition, the rear center armrest is also equipped with a screen.
There is no official information about the power of the new car, but Hongqi has just announced that its first self-designed V-type 8-cylinder direct-injection supercharged (V8TD) engine has been trial-produced in the Trial Production Institute of the Central Research and Development Institute.
It is understood that the engine is based on the only domestic V8 platform, adopts Micron high-performance combustion system, and is equipped with technologies such as “HOT-V” dual mid-mounted turbochargers. The maximum power reached 659 horsepower and the maximum torque was 850N·m.
As Hongqi’s new-generation flagship SUV, the car may be equipped with this engine. However, there is also news that the new car may adopt pure electric drive.
