On March 20, the Hongqi EH7 electric sedan, the first strategic model under FAW’s Hongqi New Energy Brand, hit the market with a price ranging from 229,800 yuan to 309,800 yuan.

Riding on Hongqi’s exclusively designed FMEs platform architecture, the EH7 delivers a maximum power of 455 kW, and can zip from 0-60km/h in only 1.8 seconds and 80-120km/h in 2.3 seconds.

Designed beyond the dual five-star safety standards of the Chinese C-NCAP and European E-NCAP, the EH7 can provide users with comprehensive passive, active and battery safety.

Moreover, the EH7 adopts Hongqi’s self-developed hexahedral insulation technology for battery cells and uses nanoscale aerospace-level insulation materials, ensuring that each battery cell is in safe working state.

In terms of range, the EH7 can achieve a maximum CLTC-rated range of 820 kilometers. With a 5-minute charge, it can replenish up to 215 km of energy.
