Hongqi HS7: which version to buy and why
The Hongqi HS7 catalogue lists 1 generation and 1 factory version: 3.0 AT. There is no second engine, no extra gearbox, and no later restyle to pit against the first. The buying question is therefore not “which HS7,” but whether 3.0 AT itself matches what you need: 337 hp and 445 Nm from 2951 cc, 8-speed Automatic, AWD, 7.8 s to 100, and mixed fuel use of 10.9 L/100 km.

Kerb weight, gross weight, tank size, ground clearance, CO2, eco class, and top speed are not measured, so those cannot decide the purchase.
Which HS7 version to buy
Buy 3.0 AT if you want the only HS7 on record: a SUV 5-doors from 2019-09-01 with production stop not measured (still listed as current). Do not wait for a second Hongqi HS7 powertrain in this dataset — modifikaciy is 1.
What 3.0 AT actually buys, in numbers:
- 337 hp (247 kW) at 5500 rpm from 2951 cc Gasoline with Turbo.
- Specific output: 337 / 2.951 ≈ 114.2 hp per litre; 247 / 2.951 ≈ 83.7 kW per litre.
- 445 Nm from 3000-5000 rpm; 445 / 2.951 ≈ 150.8 Nm per litre.
- 8 gears, Automatic, AWD.
- 7.8 s 0–100; top speed not measured.
- Fuel 95; city 15.8, highway 8.1, mixed 10.9 L/100 km.
- Wheels 255/50 R19 or 255/45 R20.
There is no cheaper HS7 and no more powerful HS7 here. Extra money cannot buy another catalogue version because none exists. The only in-model choice is wheel size, not engine.
Generations compared (only one exists)
1 generation (key 7537) started 2019-09-01. Stop is not measured. Body: SUV 5-doors. Versions in this generation: 1 — 3.0 AT. No restyling generation is listed, so you are not choosing between pre-facelift and facelift HS7.
Because generation count is 1, there is no “later generation changed X” arithmetic. Power, torque, 0–100, and fuel figures all belong to this same 1 generation 3.0 AT. A second generation would be required before you could say the HS7 gained or lost horsepower.
Hongqi HS7 3.0 AT engine and specs
| Version | hp | Nm | cc | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.0 AT | 337 | 445 | 2951 | Gasoline | 6 | V-shaped | Turbo | Automatic | 8 | AWD |
3.0 AT engine placement is Front, longitudinal. Supply is Direct injection (direct). Valves per cylinder: 4. Compression ratio not measured. Bore and stroke not measured.
Cylinder count 6 and layout V-shaped are the catalogue labels for 3.0 AT. Displacement 2951 cc is 49 cc under a round 3.0 litre (3000 − 2951). Peak power 337 hp sits at 5500 rpm; peak torque 445 Nm is a plateau from 3000 to 5000 rpm — a 2000 rpm band, not a single peak.
kW vs hp for 3.0 AT: 247 kW versus 337 hp. The ratio 337 / 247 ≈ 1.36 hp per kW is the pair as published; do not substitute another conversion.
Performance: 0–100, top speed, and what is not measured
3.0 AT reaches 100 in 7.8 s. Top speed is not measured. You cannot rank HS7 versions by vmax because there is only 3.0 AT and that field is empty.
With 337 hp and 7.8 s, each 0.1 s of the sprint is associated with 337 / 78 ≈ 4.32 hp per tenth (7.8 s = 78 tenths). Weight-to-power is not measured: kerb mass is not measured, so hp per tonne cannot be calculated.
Brakes on 3.0 AT: front Ventilated disc, rear Disc ventilated (catalogue English labels). Suspension front and rear: Independent, spring. Those chassis labels do not differ between versions because there are no other versions.
MPG and fuel: city, highway, mixed for 3.0 AT
Fuel type for 3.0 AT is 95. Consumption:
- City: 15.8 L/100 km
- Highway: 8.1 L/100 km
- Mixed: 10.9 L/100 km
City uses 15.8 − 8.1 = 7.7 L/100 km more than highway (15.8 / 8.1 ≈ 1.95 times highway). Mixed sits 10.9 − 8.1 = 2.8 above highway and 15.8 − 10.9 = 4.9 below city. Mixed is (15.8 + 8.1) / 2 = 11.95 if you averaged city and highway equally; the published mixed 10.9 is 1.05 L/100 km lower than that simple average.
Tank volume is not measured, so range in km cannot be computed from 10.9 L/100 km. CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured. There is no second HS7 engine with a different mixed figure to call “the economical one.”
If most of your kilometres are highway, 8.1 is the relevant 3.0 AT number. If most are city, plan around 15.8, which is 15.8 / 10.9 ≈ 1.45 times the mixed rate.
Dimensions, weight, and wheels
For 3.0 AT:
- Kerb weight: not measured
- Gross weight: not measured
- Ground clearance: not measured
- Tank: not measured
Wheels listed for 3.0 AT: 255/50 R19 and 255/45 R20. Both are 255 mm wide. Aspect 50 on 19 versus 45 on 20 is the only tyre split in the catalogue. That is not a second powertrain; it does not change 337 hp, 445 Nm, 7.8 s, or 10.9 mixed.
Without kerb weight, you cannot compute kg per hp for 3.0 AT. Without clearance, you cannot score the SUV 5-doors as a high- or low-stance HS7 from this table.
Problems, reliability, and what this catalogue does not contain
This dataset has no failure rates, no recall counts, and no service intervals for Hongqi HS7 3.0 AT. Reliability cannot be ranked between versions because only 3.0 AT exists and no reliability field is supplied. Treat “HS7 problems” as outside these numbers.
What you can treat as known limits of 3.0 AT:
- Turbo Gasoline 6 V-shaped, Direct injection (direct) — one forced-induction petrol layout, not a naturally aspirated alternative in this list.
- AWD only — no FWD or RWD 3.0 AT.
- Automatic 8 only — no manual, no DCT labelled separately.
- Fuel 95 — not a diesel HS7 in these rows.
- Peak torque starts at 3000 rpm; below that the 445 Nm figure is not claimed.
What “extra money” would buy (arithmetic on one version)
With pokoleniy = 1 and modifikaciy = 1, extra spend cannot buy another Hongqi HS7 engine from this file. The catalogue does not contain a weaker HS7 to step up from, or a stronger HS7 to pay up for.
Inside 3.0 AT, the only listed hardware fork is 255/50 R19 versus 255/45 R20. Diameter 20 versus 19 is 1 inch; width is identical at 255. That does not add horsepower: both tyres sit on the same 337 hp / 445 Nm / 7.8 s / 10.9 mixed specification.
If you compare 3.0 AT to a hypothetical round 300 hp bar using only our figure: 337 − 300 = 37 hp above 300, or 337 / 300 ≈ 1.123 times 300 hp. Against a round 400 hp bar: 400 − 337 = 63 hp short. Those are arithmetic on 337, not other HS7 versions.
Displacement 2951 cc versus the “3.0” name: 49 cc below 3000. Specific output 114.2 hp/L is 337 / 2.951. If displacement were treated as 3.0 L exactly, 337 / 3.0 ≈ 112.3 hp/L — 1.9 hp/L lower than using the real 2951 cc. Use 2951, not a rounded 3.0, when quoting 3.0 AT.
Torque band width: 5000 − 3000 = 2000 rpm at 445 Nm. Power peak 5500 rpm is 500 rpm above the top of that torque plateau.
Verdict: the only Hongqi HS7 to choose
Choose 3.0 AT if a SUV 5-doors Hongqi HS7 with 337 hp, 445 Nm, 8-speed Automatic, AWD, 7.8 s 0–100, and mixed 10.9 L/100 km (city 15.8, highway 8.1, fuel 95) is the vehicle you want. Production of 1 generation is from 2019-09-01; end date not measured.
Do not choose a different HS7 version from this catalogue — there isn’t one. Do not choose by kerb weight, payload, tank, clearance, CO2, eco class, or top speed: all not measured. Do not choose by generation: only 1 generation is listed, with 1 version, 3.0 AT.
