The cheapest red flag, but not the most people-friendly red flag, is it better to buy the red flag HS3 than to go directly to the red flag H5？
A car company full of color, since it was acquired by FAW Group, it has begun to focus on its own high-end road, and has launched many high-quality models on this road, especially in the SUV field. Hongqi cars cover almost all fields, from large SUVs to compact SUVs, Hongqi cars can be said to be wet. And today we bring you this car is the masterpiece of Hongqi cars in compact SUVs – but this Hongqi HS3, which should have been highly anticipated, has been criticized by many consumers after it went on sale. Let’s take a look.
For the appearance design of this Hongqi HS3, it is no different from other models under Hongqi, but in terms of light sets, it has broken the routine and is obviously marching towards a younger direction. From the original standard light set to the current C-shaped light set, Hongqi Automobile also seems to want a bold try. As for the middle net part, the new car is still a straight waterfall design language, but the details are handled more three-dimensional, and the overall feeling is more refreshing.
As for the sideways, this Hongqi HS3 continues the atmosphere of the Hongqi car, while the waistline of the car is also relatively soft, but it does not give people a bloated feeling, because its window line adopts a pull-down design, which has a good self-cultivation effect visually, and also makes the Hongqi HS3’s sideways look less monotonous.
In addition, in the tail design, the Hongqi HS3 also broke the routine. Although its tail light group is still a traditional through-type design, it is very eye-catching on both sides of the light group. Coupled with the double exhaust enclosed at the back and the through-type silver chrome trim, the visual tension is still very good. Therefore, it is not difficult to see from the appearance design of the vehicle that the Hongqi car has also abandoned the previous conservative design and adopted a personalized design approach.
It is worth mentioning that although the Hongqi HS3 is a compact SUV, its body size has reached the A + level, its length, width and height are 4655 + 1900 * 1668mm, and the wheelbase is 2770mm. Regarding this statement, in fact, if we look at the book data, this Hongqi HS3 is not too good. Of course, compared with some joint venture models, it is in the past, but compared with its own brands, for example, its body size is not dominant, so this may be the first place for consumers to complain about it.
In terms of the overall layout of the interior, this Hongqi HS3 is still the same as before, and it is not different from the familiar Hongqi. The T-shaped center console, the wrapping of soft materials and the existence of metal decorative panels are still the "three axes" of Hongqi in the interior design, but unfortunately, in terms of seat materials, the beggar version of Hongqi HS3 is even a fabric seat, which really pulls the hip. As for the intelligent experience, Hongqi HS3 uses a 12.6-inch multimedia central control screen. In terms of human-vehicle interaction functions, the car is still relatively comprehensive, enough to meet the daily needs of users. It is this car system that still uses the Qiqi 1.0 system, so the situation of cards and crashes still exists.
The Hongqi HS3 currently on sale is divided into two different powertrains in terms of power, namely a 1.5T model with a maximum output power of 169Ps, and its gearbox uses a 7DCT gearbox; the other is a model with a maximum output power of 252Ps, and its gearbox uses an 8AT gearbox. Even the top model is equipped with a four-wheel drive system to further meet the diverse needs of users. At the same time, in terms of suspension, the car also uses a four-wheel independent suspension (front McPherson + rear multi-link) to ensure the ride comfort and handling of the vehicle during driving.
conclusion
Relatively speaking, in addition to the beggar version of the model, this Hongqi HS3 is still good in all aspects of quality and ability, but in terms of power, I personally recommend that you choose a 2.0T displacement model, because the 1.5T displacement model is not only lacking in power, but also the performance of the configuration is loose, obviously "price mismatch" performance, and in terms of price, the official guide price of this Hongqi HS3 is 14.58-19 5,800 yuan, this price can be regarded as the cheapest Hongqi car in the SUV field, but its price is not the most affordable Hongqi car, because this price can go to buy a higher positioning, after all, this car currently has a discount of up to 40,000 yuan in most areas, what do you think?
