Hongqi, a Chinese automotive brand and part of the
FAW Group, has brought several new cars to the IAA 2019, including this E115.
The company says its first all-electric SUV will become a mass-produced model
eventually, but doesn’t give any kind of timeframe.
The crossover vehicle comes based on a brand-new
platform and sports a Level 4 autonomous driving system, AWD and as many as 8 selectable driving modes. The engine specs remain unannounced, though, and
while the manufacturer claims it can cover up to 600 km on a single
charge, the method according to which these figures were calculated also
remains unknown.
Other that that, you may have noticed that the E115
looks like a wannabe Rolls-Royce. This actually isn’t surprising, given that
Hongqi’s Design Department is headed by Giles Taylor, ex-Chief Designer of the
British luxury car marque.
