The Hongqi H9+ was first caught on camera back in August in a Chinese showroom, prompting us to assume that a public debut would soon follow. Fast forward about two months and the H9+ is now resting its stretched-out wheelbase at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show, featuring an extra 20 cm compared to the regular H9 sedan. The model on display has a dual tone cream white / burgundy red exterior.
So just how big is the H9+? An extra 20 cm would put its wheelbase at 3,260 mm long. Its
overall length is roughly 5.34 meters, a little over 10 cm less than a Mercedes-Maybach.
There’s clearly more than enough room
inside to stretch your legs behind the front seats, while also enjoying a tall
glass of champagne in one of the two captain’s seats. We’re not sure however
about all that red inside, especially on the carpeting – it might be overkill.
Speaking of colors, the way they split the
dual tone aesthetic on the outside is a bit curious. Usually, carmakers will
make the split somewhere above the shoulder line, or right on it. The color
combo on the H9+ however splits well below that point.
According to CarNewsChina, the Hongqi H9+
gets a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine as standard, whereas the regular
wheelbase variant also comes with a 2.0-liter turbo as its entry-level power
unit. The V6 produces 283 HP and 400 Nm of torque.
