The Hongqi H7 is a four-door executive sedan that is manufactured by the Chinese manufacturer FAW under the Hongqi marque. It is the successor to the Hongqi HQ3 built between 2006 and 2010.

Overview

[edit]

The H7 was first presented to the public at the Beijing Motor Show in April 2012, and officially went on sale at the end of May 2013.[2] The first 500 Hongqi H7 vehicles had been sold before launch to the Chinese government.[3]

2016 facelift

[edit]

At the Beijing Motor Show 2016, Hongqi presented a revised version of the H7. In addition, a plug-in hybrid version was presented.[4]

News of a second generation model surfaced in 2019. However, the actual model launched later was named the Hongqi H9 which was more upmarket and sold alongside the H7.[1]
