HongQi HS3 1.5T/2.0T SUV

Hongqi Automobile is a well-known luxury brand. In recent years, the car-making process has been qualitatively improved compared to the original. The launched Hongqi HS5 has achieved very good sales results, and the feedback from car owners is also good. The latest Hongqi HS3 is a more friendly SUV, which has attracted the attention of many people.

The front of the car runs through from the top to the center grid is Hongqi's iconic red LOGO, which is wrapped in silver. The front hood gently outlines the simple lines. While continuing the design language of the Hongqi family, it also introduces the mainstream aesthetics, with a clear sense of hierarchy. The double C-shaped LED headlights make the front face more majestic and domineering. The straight waterfall-style grille, in which the illusion of fireflies is formed by metal chrome plating, highlights the exquisite sense of the front of the car.

The side windows are narrower. The waistline runs through the door handle to the rear of the car, echoing the silver pedals on the door below, plus the iconic red trim under the A-pillar. The recognizability is remarkable without losing the sense of refinement and lines. The swivel wheels with raised wheel eyebrows are full of sportiness. The small air breaker on the roof adds a touch of agility to the side.

The rear of the car uses the currently popular one-piece through-LED taillights, which extend downwards to an inverted L-shape, which has great visual tension when lit. The blackened lower surround seems to elevate the body, making the outline of the rear of the car solid and steady. The outer side of the lower surround is trimmed with silver-plated strips, and wraps the exhaust ports on both sides, making the rear of the car even more atmospheric and refined.

The interior is a traditional T-shaped layout. The shape of the three-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel is quite sporty. A 12.6-inch built-in central control screen is used in the middle, which reduces the complicated physical buttons and makes the operation more intelligent and technological. The rhombic decorative leather decoration in the central passage, together with the red trim of the armrest box, enhances the texture of the entire interior.

In terms of configuration, all HS3 series are equipped with reversing camera and cruise control as standard. High-end models also come with 360° panoramic images, transparent chassis images, full-speed adaptive cruise, automatic parking and 10 Dynaudio speakers. Except for the entry-level model, the rest are equipped with an L2-level assisted driving operating system, wireless charging for mobile phones and 253-color ambient lights. While the driving operation is more convenient and intelligent, the ride experience is also more comfortable.

In terms of space, the HS3 body length is 4655mm, width is 1900mm, height is 1668mm, and the wheelbase is 2770mm. The size is relatively ordinary, but the space provided is relatively generous. Our measured personnel are 175cm tall. Sitting in the front row has about 1 punch in the head room, and sitting in the rear row has about 1 punch and four fingers in the leg room. The whole ride is relatively spacious and comfortable.

Except for high-end models, the chassis adopts the front-wheel-drive drive mode, which has a simple structure and can provide more space for the interior of the body. The high-end models use the front four-wheel drive drive mode. The four-wheel drive type is a timely four-wheel drive, and it is equipped with a multi-disc clutch type central differential, which provides better stability for the vehicle when driving.

In terms of power, Hongqi HS3 is divided into 1.5T displacement and 2.0T displacement versions. Among them, the 1.5T has a maximum power of 124kW and a peak torque of 258N m. Using a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.8L/100km. The 2.0T has a peak power of 185kW and a maximum torque of 380N m. Using an 8-speed automatic manual gearbox, the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is at least 7.3L/100km. Both displacements are relatively economical in terms of fuel consumption.
