Hongqi e-HS9: the Chinese luxury SUV arrives in Europe

This large, 100% electric luxury SUV, with false tunes of Rolls-Royce, is about to land on the old continent.

New model / Hongqi E-HS9: known European prices

The Hongqi E-HS9 arrived in Europe, more precisely in Norway. The 5.2 -meter electric SUV is also displayed at a very attractive price.

619.900 Norwegian crowns, the equivalent of 61.960 €. This is what you will have to pay to offer you the Chinese Hongqi e-HS9. And this price does not seem too high, because you get a lot in return: a 7 -seater SUV fully electric 5.2 meters long, with a luxurious interior and a range of 396 km. This is the figure in the comfort version; If you opt for premium or exclusive, you benefit from a more powerful electric motor on the rear axle and a larger battery with a capacity of 90 kWh nets.

Autonomy thus increases to 465 km, but the price increases accordingly: 699.900 crowns (69.€ 970) and 779.000 crowns (77.€ 880) respectively for premium and exclusive. However, the 6 NAPPA leather seats with Massage function at the front, the ventilation of the seats on the first two rows of seats, the pneumatic suspension, the progressive closing doors and the three 16.2 inch screens should reduce the pain.

Certainly these amounts are high, but that is also what you would pay for a BMW IX3 or a Mercedes EQC, which are shorter of about half a meter, but come from known brands and are safer in terms of value resale. In addition, you do not support the Chinese state directly by buying them. What would you do ?
