DThe Hongqi H7 PHEV price starts at a limited-time trade-in rate of 168,800 yuan ($25,194), Hongqi said when the redesigned sedan officially launched on September 16, with the plug-in hybrid model offered in three configurations priced up to 208,800 yuan ($31,164). The nameplate returns after a roughly four-to-five-year absence from Hongqi’s lineup, relaunched with a new-energy identity following an earlier pre-sale phase that, according to the report, left some buyers unsatisfied with pricing.
Trim Levels & Pricing
Hongqi has not broken down pricing by individual trim; the 168,800-to-208,800-yuan ($25,194–$31,164) range covers all three configurations introduced at launch. The report describes the limited-time pricing as a trade-in incentive rather than a standard list price.
Powertrain, Battery & Range
The H7 pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a drive motor in a plug-in hybrid system, the report said. Top-spec versions add a front-and-rear dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup.
Hongqi offers two battery pack capacities, 23.9 kWh and 30.3 kWh, and the report lists CLTC pure-electric range figures of 180 km, 240 km and 210 km across the three configurations; the source material does not specify which range figure pairs with which battery capacity or trim.
No official WLTP figures were provided. Based on these CLTC figures, this gives indicative WLTP-equivalent estimates of approximately 144-153 km, 192-204 km and 168-179 km, respectively. These are editorial calculations, not official WLTP results or real-world range predictions.
Smart Cockpit & Driver Assistance
Inside, the H7 uses a wraparound, T-shaped minimalist cabin layout that the report describes as consistent with mainstream new-energy design trends. The dashboard and door panels are finished in contrast-color material, paired with a through-type air-conditioning vent design. A 15.6-inch floating center touchscreen runs on an 8295P cockpit chip, which the report says delivers smooth response with no noted complaints.
The H7 is equipped with Sinan Intelligent Driving, a system jointly developed by Hongqi and Zhuoyue. The system uses a full-vision sensor solution and an end-to-end large model to enable urban and highway navigation-assisted driving (NOA) as well as parking-assist functions, according to the report.

Exterior & Dimensions
The redesigned H7 adopts Hongqi’s new family design language. A large vertical-slat chrome grille is flanked by slim headlight clusters, with chrome trim extending from the headlights to the sides of the grille for a flowing, layered look. Lighting elements are integrated into the air intakes on either side, which the report says adds both function and a sportier front-end appearance.
The body has a slightly fastback profile with front-and-rear segmented character lines, which the report says avoids the heavier look of a traditional C-segment gasoline sedan. Semi-concealed door handles and a new wheel design round out the exterior changes.
At the rear, the H7 forgoes the through-type taillight design common on many current models in favor of a new family-style “Phoenix Spreading Wings” taillight, which the report describes as distinctive. The lower bumper features a through-type metal chrome trim panel.
The sedan measures 5,060 mm long, 1,910 mm wide and 1,480 mm tall, with a 2,970 mm wheelbase — proportions the report says support what it calls a “532” interior-space layout. Rear-seat legroom and width are described as comfortable enough for three adult male passengers. Top-spec models add a front-passenger leg rest, and front seats offer ventilation, heating and massage functions, while rear seats offer ventilation and heating.
Market Context & Competitors
The report notes that the same price segment currently offers a wide range of alternative models, but adds that Hongqi’s customer base tends not to overlap much with buyers of other brands’ products.
Conclusion
Summing up, the report characterizes the H7’s exterior presence, cabin space and feature set as well matched to its launch pricing, describing the overall package as a sincere offering from Hongqi.
