PredecessorHongqi H7 (first generation)

The second generation H7 was unveiled on 24 April 2026 at the Beijing Auto Show. The powertrain is a plug-in hybrid with a 1.5 liter turbo engine developing 110kW.[6]

It has a 15.6-inch 2.5K-resolution central infotainment touchscreen and a 30-inch AR-HUD both powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P SoC.[7]

It is equipped with a Level 2 ADAS system powered by one mmWave radar and a 10-camera array and is capable of urban and highway assisted driving.[7]

Powertrain

The second-generation H7 is available exclusively as a plug-in hybrid. It is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine in Miller cycle outputting 141 hp (105 kW; 143 PS) (gross power: 147 hp (110 kW; 149 PS)) and paired to a 1-speed DHT. It is joined by a permanent magnet synchronous motor at the front axle and optionally with another on the rear axle for dual-motor all-wheel drive. All versions have a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph).

The H7 set the Guinness World Record for the farthest distance traveled by a production plug-in hybrid sedan without recharging or refueling with a distance of 2,916.171 km (1,812.025 mi).[7]
