Nice for the masses
Hongqi HAS, After the Rather Opulent E-HS9, Shown Its More Modest Side With The EHS7, But It Can Still Be A Bit Less. That’s why the hongqi ehs5 is also coming to Europe, a brand new Ev that is just a bit narrower than a tesla model Y.
Hongqi Doesn’tn’t Yet Play a Significant Role in Europe, But That May Have Something to Do With The Fact That The Brand Has So Far Only Supplied The Extravagant E-HS9. That gigantic suv, designed by the designer of the rolls-royce cullinan, consumes more than a medium-sized provincial town and, with its huge grille and ditto swaths of chrome, seems primarily to want to seduce dictators.
Anyone who finds this a bit too much of a good thing will certainly be happy with the news that the much more modest ehs7 (Indeed, here without a hyphen …) is also coming to Europe. That looks a lot less bizarre, but at a length or 4.93 meters it is still very large. The next step down will be presented in September, because Hongqi is coming to Europe with the EHS5. Our cameraman Jeroen Found that news in a list of premieres from the iaa in Munich. The EHS5 is Nothing More or Less than the Export Version of the Car That Is Called Tiangong 06 in China, And Was Presented As Such At The End Of 2024. It looks very similar to the ehs7, but is clearly a size narrower meters. The New Hongqi is equally about 4 centimeters Shorter than the Tesla Model Y, Although It Must Be Said That That Car Grew By 4 Centimeters Duration Its Major Facelift. That size, about. The Volkswagen ID4 and Hyundai ioniq 5 are also menttioned by Hongqi as Competitors, So Just Think of That Entire Segment.
European Specifications are not yet available, so we have to make do with what we find here and there on the internet. That shows that the Hongqi EHS5 is av byrile Rear-Wheel Drive or Four-Wheel Drive, With the Four-Wheel Drive Version Delivering No Less Than 560 HP. The Battery Seems to Be A Bit More Modest at 85 kWh than the 111 kWh Battery That Hongqi Screws Into This Model in China, But Still Provides a Healthy Driving Range of Around 600 kilometers WLTP. Fast Charging is also nice and fast, because with a maximum of 265 kW, the ehs5 theoretically even outperforms the model y slightly. Hongqi is also already talking about a future version with a 900V on-board Network, which should be able to charge equally faster.
The interior of the somewhat intercangular look EHS5 is dominated by a 15.6-inch touchscreen and seems to be a mix between tesla and nio in Terms of Style. The photos you see are still of the Chinese variant, so don’t be surprised if the European One is slightly differente here and there. We are eSpecany Curious About the Price of the Hongqi. The EHS7 is available ‘from’ 55,000, so it could just be that the Chinese Will Put the Somewhat More Compact Model on the Market QUITE SHARPLY.
