Latest News:The foreign minister used the Hongqi sedan, and the FAW sedan reversed and rose by 1.73%.
Hongqi sedan is a household name H7 ahead of Audi A6L, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, etc
Hongqi car is a household name in China. The history of Hongqi car began in 1958. Hongqi car is a household name in China. The word "Hongqi" has gone far beyond the meaning of a car brand. In people’s hearts, it has a place that other brands cannot replace.
Since the 1960s, the various technologies of the Hongqi car have been perfected day by day, and it has been stipulated as a special car for ministers above vice ministers and a foreign affairs courtesy car. Riding the Hongqi car was once regarded as the highest courtesy given by the Chinese government to foreign visitors together with "meeting Chairperson Mao" and "staying in Diaoyutai". In the 1980s, the "Hongqi" car was once discontinued due to the so-called high fuel consumption, high cost and low output.
On July 15, 2012, the 59th anniversary of the establishment of China’s first automobile group company, which lasted more than 4 years, cost 5.20 billion yuan, and solved more than 2,000 technical problems – the first Hongqi H7 sedan drove out of the production line on the 15th. On May 30, 2013, Hongqi H7 was officially listed in Beijing.
It is understood that this car is built on the basis of the H platform by FAW, with a length of 5095 mm and a width of 1875 mm, ahead of the Audi A6L and Mercedes-Benz E-Class of the same level. In terms of interior design, the Hongqi H7 has a large number of black and dark black mahogany decorative panels. As a mid-to-high-end market model, the rear space of the Hongqi H7 vehicle is also quite generous. In terms of configuration, the H7 is expected to be equipped with high-tech equipment such as adaptive cruise system and FCA forward collision avoidance system. In terms of power, the H7 is equipped with 3.0L and 2.5L six-cylinder engines independently developed by FAW and a 2.0T turbocharged engine independently developed by FAW. The price of entry-level models is expected to drop to about 299,800 yuan.
Hongqi has written the history of China’s automobile self-improvement. At a time when China’s high-end automobile market is monopolized by international brands, the listing of Hongqi H7 will undoubtedly break this pattern, boost the morale of the entire independent army, and lead China’s independent brands to make rapid progress.

Hongqi imitates Audi’s "eat fixed" provincial and ministerial markets, and customers follow the trend
The night the price of Hongqi was announced, it caused a "complain" on the Internet. Some people on Weibo ridiculed Hongqi H7 as a car specially built for provincial and ministerial officials.

The displacement and price of Hongqi H7 meet the official procurement standards of provincial and ministerial vehicles. [Details]
Many regulations have been issued, and official vehicles need to be gradually replaced by independent brands
In February 2012, MIIT released the "2012 Party and Government Official Vehicle Selection Model Catalog (exposure draft) ", which excluded joint venture models from the bus catalog for the first time, and all the 412 models selected were self-owned brands. However, the opinion draft has not yet generated an official document. In addition to the provinces that have "tried new things", some places that have taken action are also worthy of attention. In recent years, the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Finance has not made budgetary arrangements for the purchase of non-domestic brand cars in terms of budget arrangements and government procurement.
