The new car is positioned as a mid-to-large plug-in hybrid sedan, available in both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive forms.
The all-new H7 continues the Hongqi new energy family exterior design, with a borderless vertical waterfall grille on the front face, paired with narrow and long headlight groups on both sides, and a rear light group in the "Flowing Light Returning Feathers" style at the rear. It is equipped with semi-hidden door handles and frameless exterior rearview mirrors, and offers 18-inch and 19-inch wheels. The body length, width, and height are 5060mm, 1910mm, and 1480mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2970mm.
Inside the all-new H7, there is an 8.88-inch full LCD instrument cluster and a 15.6-inch central control screen, built with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P vehicle chip, and equipped with the Lingxi Cockpit 5.0 system and the Lingxi AI large model. The 240 Smart Hybrid Edition and 210 Four-Wheel-Drive Smart Hybrid Edition are equipped with a 30-inch HUD, an 18-speaker BOSE audio system, and steering wheel heating, while the front seats support ventilation, heating, and massage functions. The 210 Four-Wheel-Drive Smart Hybrid Edition is equipped with leather seats, a zero-gravity passenger seat, and an in-car refrigerator, while the rear seats support ventilation and heating functions.
The all-new H7 is equipped with the Sinan intelligent driving system, supporting urban and highway navigation assistance and full-scenario intelligent parking assistance. It is equipped with sentry mode, 540° imaging, and L2-level assisted driving. The body adopts a 2000MPa integrated dual-door ring structure, and the entire series comes standard with 9 airbags and 22 active safety configurations.

The two-wheel-drive version is equipped with 23.9kWh and 30.3kWh battery packs, with CLTC pure electric ranges of 180 kilometers and 240 kilometers respectively, and combined ranges of 1894 kilometers and 1954 kilometers respectively.

Xiao Tang's Viewpoint: The all-new Hongqi H7 has shifted from a pure gasoline sedan to an all-series plug-in hybrid. The cockpit and assisted driving have been updated compared with the old model, and the usage scenarios have also expanded from the previously relatively concentrated business use to daily scenarios such as family travel. The body has been widened and lowered, and the fastback lines have weakened the previous official-use label, making the style more youthful. The two-wheel-drive version has a longer combined range, while the four-wheel-drive version has more ample power reserves and correspondingly higher energy consumption. Overall, the focus of this generation change lies in the powertrain form and intelligence, the business label has been relatively weakened, and the adaptability to family scenarios has been enhanced.
