I really like Hongqi's design language in general. Its not like other Chinese EVs which some of them could be a bit generic or GTA like. Hongqi actually makes some immediately recognizable impression on the audience and I think that is great for the brand image.

My dad owned his first Mercedes S500 in 2003, since then my family bought quite some German made vehicles, until last year I found the brand NIO, which is Chinese owned, very efficient and with an affordable price, so I bought the NIO ES8, a quite nice electronic SUV, simple and good looking exterior and interior, since that my family was determined to buy Chinese brands. Thanks to the vast invested charging infrastructures and environment friendly policies by the government, Chinese brands really improve a lot.

Seems like Chinese manufacturers have really embraced their own culture and distilled it into their designs. Gone are the days of western clones and I'd say it's for the better!

The car brand is named "RedFlag", it is quite as its named.
There is thousands of videos on Chinese internet of people having terrible engine problems under 2.000 miles. The inside is cheap screeching plastic, systems including safety and screens are lagging and overall suspension problems.
Red flag on the wheels.

I wish we could get some American car manufacturers to sometimes bring old school styling to cars. Not just the muscle cars though.

[conky]

i actually like this more then any roles royce, these cars have alot more art going for them

[dwchen]

That H9+ looks legit for a Chinese luxury saloon design.

Seeing these on the streets of Riyadh is such a sight can't wait to see these new ones here in Saudi Arabia

[foadrightnow]

The interior designs are much nicer than anything Mercedes or BMW or Audi is producing! Or anyone, for that matter!

I think the first car, the L5 looks very interesting. Driving around with something like this in Europe would be a head turner for sure. Totally unique. I just fear that the european safety regulations wont allow those protruding headlights. But its something truly special.

[TriplechainGaming]

The sides and length of the L5 is definitely a RR Phantom. LS7 is giving Lincoln Navigator & Maybach GLS 600 truck. H9 looks like the maybach V12 sedan combined with a Cadillac sedan…
I’m even wondering who copied who now if it’s the oldest Chinese car manufacturer

The Golden Sunflower series cars are not for rich people, but for elites with money. People who want to buy them are subject to a vetting process. For due diligence and background check to be passed, it usually means potential buys have good track records and reputable public image. People who bought those Hongqi cars can't sell them to a 3rd party either. After all, those cars are for top Chinese government officials and visiting presidents of other countries. For example, French president Macron rode Hongqi L5 when he visited China.

At least their integrating the screen into the dash like it should be instead of making some giant as screen in the middle like Mercedes are doing

Hi handsome, I love your channel, vocabulary and articulation. It's very humorous. I really enjoy it. Thanks.

JESUS CHRIST!! WHERE DO THESE DESIGNERS COME FROM... HEAVEN... LIKE WHAT .. AND TO PRODUCE THAT DESIGN AS IT IS... THESE COMPANIES DAYUMM

[PS-]

With the UAE and Saudi Arabia joining BRICS and realigning their trade towards the East, I won't be surprise if the wealthy in those countries consider a brand like Hongqi besides the traditional German and British brands. Hongqi has showrooms in the major cities of UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Nice looking cars. Love the detail that’s been put into the designs.

[Joseph-mwrl]

Hongqi didn't steal rolls royce design. They stole their designer and made him chief of design😂

[benjaminluke]

I asked one of the Hong qi reps about electric L5 and they said it would be gas, they didn’t mention any plans to make it electric

[blobba]

I actually really like the honky's stately styling. True luxury
