Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Hongqi E-HS9 adopts a brand-new design language of "Shang Zhi Yi". Embedding the flag from the front cover into the straight waterfall front face shows the extremely noble aesthetics and family style. The chrome-plated decoration surrounded by C and D pillars is inspired by Chinese classical totem ring fish, and embedded charging water indicator lights enhance strength and sense of technology; The taillight design blends vertically and horizontally, which is elegant and highly recognizable.
- Inspiration
- With the development of networked electric vehicle industry, we should not only solve the safety problems of pure electric vehicles, but also meet the different experiences of driving control and riding. Therefore, we practice the "double carbon" strategy, transform with green intelligence, independently develop systems such as "QiYi", "QiSi" and "QiAn", support the Hongqi strategic model with high performance, intelligence and safety, and develop the first pure electric intelligent SUV.
- Research
- Research Type: Research on Pure Electric Intelligent SUV and National Vehicle Safety Service Research objective: To build a pure electric intelligent SUV with safety and comfort Research methods: Really simulate the rigorous and complicated collision test-face the right rear row of the vehicle hitting the rigid column, then the same vehicle hitting the left front row again, and the serial collision accident after the vehicle lost control, and finally successfully passed the challenge.
- Challenge
- Main Challenge: Electric Safety of New Energy Vehicles Solution: Hongqi E-HS9's original full-coverage side battery protection structure is made of ultra-high strength hot-formed steel, which absorbs energy inside the threshold and supports the floor transversely to ensure complete structure and comprehensive battery protection. Cooperate with the double-layer protection of the passenger restraint protection system in the car to fully guarantee the living space in the car.
- Realization and Technology
- A large number of technologies such as world's first intelligent driving, AR-HUD, and wireless charging of power batteries have been applied, so people can easily face different road conditions while driving. Equipped with a high-performance ternary lithium-ion power battery, it can reach an acceleration time of 4.8 s for 100 kilometers, and up to 700 kilometers of NECD cruising range. Independent vocal regions and seven-screen linkage can meet independent entertainment needs.
- Operation and Interaction
- Equipped with Bluetooth digital key, users can use app to remotely control cars. When the hand approaches the door handle, the hidden handle pops up automatically. Each passenger can choose his favorite entertainment scene or interact with multiple screens by touching the HD screen. When driving, the navigation and driving assistance information can be projected into the actual environment 7.5 meters away from the front windshield by turning on VR real-life navigation with one button.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project finished in December 2020 in China.
