Instead of “Camry” and “Maybach”: which models will the Chinese FAW offer rich Russians?
The day before, the AvtoVzglyad portal said that the Russian company offered the wealthy public a luxurious Hongqi E-HS9 crossover. But, as it turned out, the Khuntsy brand itself, which is part of the FAW group, is preparing to enter the Russian market without intermediaries. In addition, the certification of several models of this brand has already started on the NAMI test site.

If Hongqi cars were previously produced exclusively for government purchases, relatively recently the brand began to create “popular” models. First of all, the five-meter H5 sedan, which changed a generation a few weeks ago. It has a transverse engine, front-wheel drive and most importantly a design by former Rolls-Royce head stylist Giles Taylor!

In China, the “five” in the title photo costs $ 25,500 – this is less than one and a half million rubles at the current exchange rate! True, the basic version has only a one and a half liter turbo engine with 156 forces … However, the range also has a more productive version – with a two-liter engine with a return of 224 forces.

The H7 sedan is based on the middle-aged but fantastically reliable rear-wheel-drive platform of the Toyota Crown, exceeding in size the “seven” short-wheelbase BMW of the previous generation. This veteran model line, which has been in production for almost 10 years, is now equipped only with a hybrid powerplant.

The flagship H9 is offered to the Chinese rich for a significant price of about 70,000 “dollars”. Retractable door handles, two-tone body paint, natural leather and wood veneer, plus a panoramic roof, air freshener, passenger screens and more – the list of available equipment includes everything Maybach buyers have come to expect!

The flagship is drawn by the aforementioned Giles Taylor. He is also the author of the E-HS9 crossover. This electric SUV can now be purchased privately and will cost about 10,000,000 rubles.
