2024 Hongqi H9 - Flagship Ultra Luxury Chinese Sedan!

Thanks: Hongqi Russia Hongqi H9 Review The car you see is the Hongqi H9, a flagship luxury sedan that is packed with features and is out to change people’s opinions about Chinese luxury. For those of you who aren’t quite aware of Hongqi, it is a brand that is associated with a lot of prestige, as it is the oldest Chinese passenger car maker in the world. Now that you’ve got an idea of what we are dealing with, let’s jump right in. Drive Here in the UAE, the Hongqi H9 is available with two engine options: a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 248 horsepower and a more powerful supercharged V6 engine that produces 279 horsepower. Our test car is the model is equipped with air suspension, meaning the ride is extremely smooth and that bumps in the road are almost unnoticeable. With 400 Nm of torque, the H9 never feels underpowered, but if you do have a lighter foot, you will be happy to know that NEDC fuel consumption averages stand at for every 100 kilometers, which is extremely impressive for a car of this size. When it comes to driving aids, the H9 has a lot to offer. There’s everything from a driver attention monitor to autonomous braking that kicks in if the driver doesn’t respond in time and blind-spot monitoring to lane departure alert. There’s also adaptive cruise control and automatic parking that make each and every drive in the all-new Hongqi H9 a safe and enjoyable one. Interior With a choice of four interior color options, the cabin is a spacious and comfortable place to be in. There’s leather on the seats, leather on the dashboard, leather on the door panels, and leather on the center console as well. The feeling of luxury is further heightened with wood and piano black trims as well as silver piping on the steering wheel, dashboard, and center console. The design is very clean and minimal and that is made possible with two large screens – one for the instrument cluster and one for the infotainment screen – working as the central command center. With very few buttons and knobs, the cabin looks modern and welcoming and can be lit up in a choice of 253 colors using the ambient lighting system. In the back, the H9 is just as comfortable, luxurious, and spacious, meaning that whether you are driving or being chauffeured in it, you are bound to have a great experience. There is plenty of space in terms of headroom and legroom, and comfort is provided by zero-gravity seats and a 4-zone climate control system. Features When it comes to the features that set the H9 apart, there’s a panoramic roof, seat heating and cooling for the front and back seats, a brilliant 12-speaker Bose audio system, an AQS air quality monitoring system, and a 360-degree camera system. Exterior The Hongqi H9 has an identity of its own and it is bound to turn heads wherever it goes. The large chrome grille which makes it look commanding and luxurious is flanked by a set of Matrix LED headlights and the sleek red line that runs down the hood is no coincidence. There’s a thin red stripe on the fenders and if you were to approach the car at night, you’d notice a red welcome light as well. Depending on the version you opt for, there are three alloy wheels you can choose from, 18-inch, 19-inch like we have on our test car, or the optional 20-inch. What remains standard on all; however, are the cool pop-out door handles that give the car an extremely sleek and aerodynamic design when not in use. Verdict The Hongqi H9 is the newest and most luxurious car to come out of China. It looks very different to anything else out there and you are bound to feel special each time you drive it. If you are a fan of the H9 then we urge you to follow the official Hongqi account and your local dealer’s account on your favorite social media channel to stay up to date with all that is happening and be informed of the prices once announced.
