In China, the updated Hongqi HS3 with a hybrid installation debuted

The most affordable crossover of the FAW premium marke in the Jinwei Plus version significantly increased in power: instead of the previous 190 horsepower, its electric motor now develops 228. The indicator of the autonomous passage has grown-the updated HS3 will pass 1,100 kilometers without recharge against the previous 1100. Hongqi hybrid cross is not going to carry.

Hongqi presented a hybrid HS3 last fall. “Classmate” Lexus NX from China received a 1.5-liter gasoline turbo engine and an electric motor, which develops 190 forces and 280 Nm of torque. With the update, the installation composition remained the same, but the electric motor now gives out 228 forces, and the torque has grown to 565. From a place to the “hundreds”, the crossover accelerates in 7.6 seconds instead of 8.6. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of path is 4.6 liters.

The stroke has grown up: HS3 is able to overcome on a full tank and a completely charged battery to 1,400 kilometers, and in the WLTC cycle. Whether its capacity has changed (previously 18.4 kilowatt-hour), Hongqi does not specify. Only in the electric truster, the hybrid will pass 117 kilometers, but already along the Chinese CLTC cycle.

The time of fast charging from 30 percent to 80 percent was reduced to 19 minutes. In addition, cross can now charge external devices – for example, a laptop or lighting devices.

KAMAZ and Gazprom will help to release Hongqi in Russia the flagship crossover Hongqi HS9: the first prototype Hongqi HQ9 was collected on the way to Russia, but deliveries are delayed

The rest of the 4.7-meter HS3 PHEV remained the same, except for the new coloring of the salon. It still contains a pair of screens with a diagonal of 12.3 and 12.6 inches. Multimedia is updated through the air, there is a voice assistant, welcoming backlight and a circular review system with a transparent chassis function.

In Russia, we recall, the cross has been sold since the summer of last year, then only with gasoline engines without electrification- one and a half and two-liter power of 156 and 245 forces, respectively. Recently, Hongqi announced the “seasonal price” for HS, which starts with 2,690,000 rubles. At the start of sales, the model was estimated at least 3,990,000 rubles.
