It’s amazing how our standards have changed these days, but the reality is that it’s not considered very fast for electric vehicles in this segment. But as we mentioned in the video, this car isn’t sold based on its performance, it’s more about the overall experience of luxury and comfort.
I am Chinese. Hongqi is very famous in China. Chairman Mao Zedong personally wrote the Chinese character logo. Hongqi is a luxury brand in China!!! Very famous。。 In China, all people who like driving respect Hongqi very much.
Electric SUVs do much better generally, e.g.: Model X P100D (similar curb weight, 2500kg) does it in like 3s. But yeah 5s is stupid quick even for a normal sedan, let alone an SUV.
Dude has disclaimer also - no. 1 source for news on China automobiles 😂. Yeah you want us believe the crap you say wheelboy. Foreign reviewer trying to pick on high quality Chinese cars...same story.
I just test drove the Voyah all electric MPV in Shenzhen yesterday that was just announced. I'm totally going to buy one when it comes out, it's so nice! You guys should try to connect with them too and check it out. LMK if you want a contact.
I wouldn't compare it to Rolls-Royce but it looks very confortable and spacious for a family of +5 people and that's very exciting to know. Thanks for the review.
The literal Rolls Royce of China, the best Chinese car there is, in terms of looks, quality, which is just barely on par with all the best luxury brands ..... Wow, amazing this E- HS9 is... So, elegant, classy... This is true auto motive art.. Show this to someone who is pessimistic about Chinese cars... Think they are crappy.... Show them this... Everything will blow out of the water.. This is, dare I say, better looking than the present Mercedes and BMW....not to mention imposing and intimidating in a great way... My praise is too much to put here in the comment section... I used to hate Chinese cars... But from 2 years ago... Not anymore..
The cars from our country are still not mature enough, still needs more generations of customer feedbacks and more experiences to improve themselves. But, considering the price of them, definitely a marvellous value to price.
I'm from Indonesia and Chinese cars are popular enough here since last few years, not as much as Japanese car, but in some segmentation & time period they can sell more units than Japanese cars I personally have a Chinese car from Wuling brand
I’m a truck guy, honestly this car is the true combination of engineering and traditional craftsmanship .. 100+k is a good price but a little over my budget range 😢
I really enjoy the HongQi new design externally, not just the top tier models, think they really nailed it. Internally there's much to be desired, especially the lower end H5 and such(too much touch interface which means lack of feedback). it's a brand I definitly won't buy any time soon(more of a Lynk & Co kind of guy), but it's quite interesting to watch it grow into something (hopefully) quite competitive in the domestic market.
@@riazhassan6570 Yes, even if their long-term reliability still isn't good, competing in the luxury segment in the Chinese domestic market is the place for them to be. It doesn't get much more poorly-engineered than modern German cars, so if a Hongqi can last a month without going back to the dealer it's better than a BMW. If it can last 5 years without electronics failures that take the dealer 3 weeks to diagnose, it's better than a Mercedes or Audi too. When Lexus came out, it took them less than a decade to get respected because the Germans were too expensive and the Americans were too complete garbage, even though there was still plenty of prejudice against the Japanese and their cars in the late 80s/early 90s.
@@seankurth4371 Reliability? I’d have to go Japanese. My 18-year old RAV4 still runs very well, minimal maintenance. Considering the trouble I’ve had with newer (some new) German, French, American and Italian vehicles, I bow to their engineering. Chinese vehicles have been showing up more and more on our roads (Pakistan) and the reports are generally good
That gigantic waterfall grille reminds me of 1970s Chrysler Imperials. I have to admit that I like it, especially with the stunning blood red interior. Well done Ethan!
The Redflag design team has that 1970's 1980's Lincoln Continental style in mind, giving the entire line of cars a distinctive power look. The H9 design is nice.
They want to be the face of Cummunist mobility, red flag is the very symbol of communism. People who are in non communist governed country, red 🚩seem like a bad thing but for communists its a symbol of pride. Hongchi's design team have tried to understand the design language of cars used by communists (and sometime dictators)in the past and then try to modernize it as per today's standards (and are doing quite a commendable job at it)
@@shiajinn2509 Actually, I own an EHS9 in china. To be honest, I won't even think about purchasing a Hongqi even five years ago. But since Hongqi got a new CEO, Liuping Xu, this brand has really changed a lot by getting rid of the old boring designs. I also own Range Rover in the US, EHS9 is still not good as a proper V8 Range Rover, but still quiet comfort considering it only costs 1/3 of a V8 Range Rover
I can't remember if I have said it on any car before but as soon as the interior shot showed up at 4:46 I was like "OH FU*K"!! Absolutely gorgeous and contemporary interior.
Hi there from Australia! I really like your videos. You cover all the aspects of these vehicles that an initial video should cover and you do it with clarity and honesty, well done. As a documentary maker of old, may I humbly offer one piece of advice - when you go to start a section that has a cut to it, take at least one or two full steps forward before talking. That gives the editor the ability to cut on the action which eliminates an awkward pause. Your videos flow mostly well but this cutting to a stationary you before you move and speak is not befitting the smooth delivery of your pieces. Otherwise, well done and good luck.
Good eye! That’s a vintage Shanghai from the 1970s that Ethan borrowed from a friend just for this video (thanks, Vincent!). Ethan himself is a huge fan of watches and watch collecting.
@@Wheelsboy Pity that SAIC owns the Shanghai car marque but doesn't produce any car bearing the Shanghai badge. GM is reviving Hummer as a EV. And SAIC should do the same with the Shanghai marque. The Shanghai car logo is very cool, both retro and futuristic, with Chinese characteristics. It fits perfectly as a luxury EV brand. It will be a miss opportunity if SAIC doesn't revive Shanghai marque...

I love how they go with a more 'old school luxury' feel for the interior instead of how most cars are doing a minimalist design. The minimalist design is cool and all, but if it's supposed to be luxurious, why does it feel like I bought my interior at IKEA.. It'd be better to have minimalist designs for lower end e-cars in my opinion
Sometimes minimalism is sold to us to save money I feel. Replacing all buttons with the cheap touchscreen saves a ton of money to the manufacturer, but they sell it to us as a feature to behold.
@@wantaferrari Yeah, that's what I can't stand about it. Why would I be paying top dollar to help your company save money? I'd much rather spend top dollar to feel that your company is offering its best!
Tune it down a little. Had I not known you are talking about a Hongqi, id have thought you are desribing an Italian exotic super car. I can hardly see any "sculptural" in that body work. Or any exquisiteness.
@@Checkmate025 Then that's your opinion, the multifaceted front face, of the car, with the chrome vertical "grills" as well as the secondary golden colors gives it a marble temple type of feel, and it does feel like a renaissance sculpture
@@lilmoris1 This looks way better than a Cullinan, that model of SUV rolls looks like a chopped up Phantom. Call it family of designs or just laziness, it doesn't look like a coherent design.
This is the only Hongqi I'm seriously impressed with. The H9 has mediocre powertrain options and the rest of the Hongqi lineup look cheap and derivative.
Not Chinese designers though. BYD, GWM and Hongqi all hired European designers. Changan has design studio in Italy. Geely has design studio in Sweden and UK.
And it’s not even because they care about the environment, it’s because they care about money. If other manufacturers did this they would reap the rewards
As a norwgeian who owns a Hongqi, i can confirm this car is one of the best cars i've ever driven. Second being mercedes benz S class and first being Rolls ghost 5. This car is definitely one of the best ones out there.
This is what Chinese do all the time. Start in a worst position and end up to become one of the best in the world. See the high speed railways, civilians drones, maglev trains, 5G technology, and cell phones, they are all live examples.
The colour is not burgundy, it is in the magenta group of colors, some people call it dark pinks. Burgundy is a deeper shade of ruby with an increase of blue to give it the dark richness.
It is a beautiful car! It may look similar to a Rolls-Royce from the front, but still it looks nice, and even the interior is looking very good! Oh and it also have plenty of horsepower! I am curious what will be the response of the Japanese to this nice EV SUV!
The Japanese can build perfect gasoline cars, but when it comes to pure electric vehicles they are babies, while China and the United States are adults.
This thing really does feel comfortable and the interior quality is actually pretty good. i just signed a lease for one here in norway and i cant wait to get it :D the lease is actually really cheap, not bad for an expensive car like this
lol while it's true domestic brands are more low-key in comparison with foreign luxury brands, the EHS9 is about as low-key as Godzilla taking a stroll.
The black color version reviewed by some European car reviewers does look much low-key. This white color is definitely much more attractive in my opinion.
That car was designed as a taxicab/fleet/car hire exclusive and was not intended to be sold to individuals. No wonder why the E-QM5 is so long with massive interior space but came with an underpowered motor, smaller battery and modest luxury equipment.
In all other reviews, the impression of the quality inside the car, has been very good. Btw, there is wireless charging inside the concol between the seats.
It's great for what it is. It's a ridiculous sized SUV thing with over the top styling. But it's really good at being over the top. It's almost fun in a sense.
Just for people who don't know, this brand is Chinese state car, Mao rode it for the ceremony of establishments of PRC, and it used to be a high Chinese officer only vehicle (pretty sure there's a soviet equivalent). But these days, it's just a Chinese local luxury brand
@Wheelsboy You mention cars at the same price point that feel more luxurious inside. Could you elaborate and name some names for us please? If those cars are internal-combustion, then the comparison is a little unfair. You said there are a couple of other cars you'd rather buy than this, I'm curious which ones.
most luxury car now days feel cheaper than before. I went into the latest benz and the feel was plastic, idk why he only pointed out on this car....cars now have alot of plastic materials
@@The-Heart-Will-Testify I agree, I own a BMW and it's hardly the kind of "luxury" I was expecting from it. Shy of a Rolls-Royce or Bentley I'm not sure I'd call any car "luxury" nowadays.
@Snakebloke You know he's a foreign reviewer...so he'll talk bullshit to pick on the car. You have no idea how the Chinese car market and companies are. They are offering high quality and more features at outrageous price points.

yes, this car look like a mafia car lol, especially in dark color
This should become the go-to triads boss ride.
Good for making a quick getaway car……… or a good chase car, depending on the situation at hand. 😃
mafia bozz
I have just seen one in Spain, and it's really impressive! 😍😍😍
I'm not keen on the big grille design in general but this one is no worse than most. The rest of it looks bloomin lovely.
forget about the content
at this moment
this is the first time for me to watch video on youtube with (zero) dislike
this is a very big achievement
They really went all out with the screens
The amount of hate in the comment section is absurd. The white man couldn't swallow someone having their own way.
Come on... get over it.
Looks better than a Rolls...
Will this car ever going to come to the USA!? I’ll buy one, in a heartbeat!
It's great for what it is. It's a ridiculous sized SUV thing with over the top styling. But it's really good at being over the top. It's almost fun in a sense.
This is the best looking car I've ever seen in my life.
Looks like a navigator married to X7 which is married to the cullanin and Audi Q7. Looks epic.
Fun Fact: The Chinese Presidential Car is a Hongqi
I would buy one for sure
Just for people who don't know, this brand is Chinese state car, Mao rode it for the ceremony of establishments of PRC, and it used to be a high Chinese officer only vehicle (pretty sure there's a soviet equivalent). But these days, it's just a Chinese local luxury brand
I think they used to not sell them to public
This provides a good foundation to be a bling car. I am not into that but I want one, if the seats are not that extravagant 😅
فخامة وقوة وتكنولوجيا فائقة جدا وجمال تصميمي أخاذ فعلا لقد جربت قيادتها اليوم شيئ خيالي فعلا
At least this gonna be more reliable than rangerover
5 sec its super fast for that size.even for a small car. Suburu WRX stock is around there
Another great vid 😎👍
Beautiful! Great design, well done China!
I remember when Chinese cars use to be shit look at them now. That is progress
That’s because you didn’t have enough information in the west . HongQi was funded in 1956, it has been a best car in China during that time
most cars were shit back in the days...especially the 1990s american cars
The Rolls-Royce and BMW X7..
Kongo 🇨🇩 for life and Afrika for life..here

@Wheelsboy
You mention cars at the same price point that feel more luxurious inside. Could you elaborate and name some names for us please? If those cars are internal-combustion, then the comparison is a little unfair.
You said there are a couple of other cars you'd rather buy than this, I'm curious which ones.
most luxury car now days feel cheaper than before. I went into the latest benz and the feel was plastic, idk why he only pointed out on this car....cars now have alot of plastic materials
@@The-Heart-Will-Testify I agree, I own a BMW and it's hardly the kind of "luxury" I was expecting from it.
Shy of a Rolls-Royce or Bentley I'm not sure I'd call any car "luxury" nowadays.
@Snakebloke
You know he's a foreign reviewer...so he'll talk bullshit to pick on the car. You have no idea how the Chinese car market and companies are. They are offering high quality and more features at outrageous price points.
It looks so premium and luxury
Very honest review👍
Thank you, that’s the only kind we do!
How is the build quality of this vehicle. Is it build to last? Is it very refined?
It looks a car that transports Angels in Heaven. Its almost like the design/idea team came from Heaven
its litelary a bmw x7
The front fascia reminds me of Cyrax in Mortal Kombat - I like it!
