On April 24, 2026, the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition officially commenced, marking the debut of the Hong Qi brand’s latest portfolio, showcasing three sub-brands: Hong Qi, Hong Qi Tiangong, and Hong Qi Jinkuihua. Featured in this event are three brand-new models, including the latest generation Hong Qi H9, H7, and the production version of the Hong Qi Off-road.
The new Hong Qi H9 introduces the Huawei Qian Kun Intelligent Driving System ADS 5, seamlessly integrated with Hong Qi’s proprietary intelligent chassis. It comes standard with an 896-line dual-path image-grade LiDAR and is equipped with 40 high-sensitivity sensors throughout the vehicle. In terms of the intelligent cockpit, the H9 incorporates the HarmonySpace intelligent cabin, along with the MoLA architecture voice assistant, offering navigation, vehicle control, and multimedia entertainment services, complemented by HarmonyOS applications and the HUAWEI SOUND audio system.
The new Hong Qi H7 is constructed with an “integrated double-door ring” structure and an innovative composite structure floor beam, meeting the latest C-NCAP five-star standard, and features the “Hexahedral Fortress Protection” battery technology from Hong Qi. For smart functionality, the H7 is equipped with the Hong Qi S-South combination driving assistance system, supporting all-scenario smart parking assistance and a memory parking function spanning up to 2 kilometers, with the Hong Qi Lingxi Cabin 5.0.
The Hong Qi Off-road production version debuts with a luxury rugged off-road positioning, inspired by traditional Chinese mortise and tenon structures, and features a million-level off-road chassis with three differential locks and vector control four-motor. The wheel-end torque reaches 18,500 Nm, employing a high-strength body-on-frame construction. The Hong Qi Off-road has accumulated over 7.7 million kilometers in testing.
At this auto show, the Hong Qi Jinkuihua sub-brand showcases three themed custom models: Silk Road National Gift, Elegant Millennium Maritime Charm, and National Glory Magnificent Journey. These models integrate national intangible cultural heritage techniques, including Xiang embroidery, Yun brocade, and cloisonné, into the vehicle design and interior craftsmanship. Additionally, the Hong Qi Jinkuihua booth presents the “Oriental Ceremony” high-end art exhibition. In collaboration with the China Arts and Crafts Association, users can customize vehicle details with gold inlay jade, cloisonné, and other heritage crafts.
The “S-concept” concept car from the Hong Qi Tiangong sub-brand debuts as a “cutting-edge sports coupe,” featuring the iconic “Flag Spread Red” front design of Hong Qi, evolved into a breathing “electronic light pulse.” On the technical side, the “S-concept” employs the Hong Qi brand’s cabin-driver integration solution, with a central “brain” that controls all vehicle functions, boasting powerful computational algorithms and a native multimodal foundational model.
Additionally, the “S-concept” is the first to meet the L2-level combined assisted driving standards and the L3/L4-level intelligent driving solutions, equipped with Hong Qi AI chassis technology, with the ability to perceive, anticipate, and actively adjust. The Hong Qi Tiangong sub-brand also showcased key models such as Tiangong 05, Tiangong 06, and Tiangong 08.
