It turned out what Si Jinping will ride in Russia on May 9

The source told TASS that during a visit to Moscow, the head of the PRC would continue to use the representative sedan Hongqi N701. You can’t buy “seven hundred first”: this is an exclusive limousine that is produced for special services. The FAW premium brand is used to transport other guests: Hongqi will provide the Hongqi company with twenty H9 sedans and ten HQ9 business minivans.

The Hongqi N701 was first lit up in 2022, and since then has been the main transport of the leader of China. In 2023 and 2024, the limousine was already brought to Russia: first to Moscow, and then to Kazan for the Brix summit. Officially, the characteristics are not reported, but the characteristic edging of the glass hints at ballistic protection. The N701 form factor is close to Maybach, but there is a deaf “limousine” insert between the doors.

The Hongqi arsenal has many-cylinder V12 engines that develop up to 762 horsepower and 1000 nm of torque, however, the early limousines could have more modest eight- or even six-cylinder units. It is assumed that the total circulation of N701 for the entire production time will not exceed 50 copies. In China, private individuals, in principle, cannot own armored vehicles.

Hongqi plans to expand the Russian line due to an all -wheel drive HQ9 minivan. Also for our country, the representative of the L1 sedan is confirmed, which will take the niche over the mass H9 and will become the new flagship of the export gamut.
