The Russian office of Hongqi has certified the L1 large sedan

Since the company has received Vehicle Type Approval (VTA), dealers of the premium brand can open official sales of the new product. It is promised that this event, as well as the publication of price lists, will take place before the end of the first half of this year.

Hongqi L1 is the flagship of the Hongqi civilian line, for which the Chinese pay a minimum of 1.4 million yuan – 15.8 million rubles at today’s exchange rate. Only the limousines of the PRC party elite, as well as the custom armored cars of Xi Jinping, are more expensive.

Thus, the price of the model is comparable to its classmate Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, for which local dealers are asking exactly the same 1.4 million yuan. It is clear that Russian prices will be higher due to the notorious recycling fee.

In the native Chinese market, only hybrid power plants are announced for the L1. The first – with V6 3.0 at 394 hp, the second – with V8 4.0 at 490 hp. The gearbox is an eight-speed automatic, all-wheel drive.

The near future is the appearance of a flagship modification, where the twin-turbo eight produces 557 hp. (the M177 on the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 has the same power). And our audience will certainly like this option.
