I took my Hongqi to Italy and France and oh boy... we felt like celebrities lol... Everywhere we went people took pictures of the car and stared at us to see if we were important lol. There are more pros than cons on this car. I highly recommend this beauty
I feel you, this car looks so good in person, the videos or photos online just don't show the beauty of this thing!
Nice
Only problem! Chinese..
@@Quak3cry being Chinese was the only way it could be this good
Any issues with the software? How does it hold up for normal operation?
In China they have a really big and good head up display in the cars. They also have a bracket behind the steering wheel, with to infra-red eyes that is checking if your eyes are on the road. This system is connected to the auto pilot system, and is supposed to be very good. They also have the backup camera connected to the mirror inside the car. Maybe some of these options comes with the high end model with four seats. But there's an "ocean" of options and colors both inside and out in the Chinese models, compared to the Norwegian ones.
u r right, i have the 6 seats version. The missing option that I hate the most is no builtin dashcam. the HUD is nice but ok without it
I agree. I also have the 6 seater, and i'm so happy with the car. It's actually fantastic. 😊❤
Impressive engineering and beautiful.
tested the car and i was impressed that it didnt feel like it was 2,7tons. but the hood i didnt like was looking at it all the time.
Door sounds like a truck door to me. I wish I had the drive width and garage space for it. Love the range and carrying capacity. Could work well in Australia.
”Maybe its the dictator in me..” 😂. Really enjoy your videos, man -your reviews are for ordinary people with ordinary needs of car use..! 👍
Also, if you are looking to buy a realy spacious ev in general or an electric van as a family car you don't get that many options, certainly not with this kind of luxury. In fact if any, only the Mercedes EQV comes to mind and it's also around 80k eur (800k nok). The newly introduced VW ID Buzz is nowhere near that well equipped and will also be 70k+ eur, so those big chinese cars might be a real option. Sure there is the question about dealerships, warranty, etc... AND buggy software drives me nuts! :)
Nice car and nice review as always 👍
Nice review of a nice car. Ventilated seats = amazing ❤Wish my stupid TMY had that. The narrow, short unventilated seats in TMY are not comfy nor impressive at all.
A smaller model like this testcar would be nice.
Also wish TMY had the comfy Hongqi dampers or similar. I never "do something like this" and most people don't, so I really wan't the soft comfortable ride you call a boat. I'm never going to drive my TMY on a track and don't need sporty stiff uncomfortable dampers. Drive 99% on public roads with low speedlimt and a lot of traffic.
But then again my TMY has farting sounds, lightshow and option to drive on Mars. Those are really important features when you drive, instead of adjustable regen level or adjustable auto-wiperspeed.
I wish you would be a little bit more organized in your speak. Seems a bit messy with the switching between subjects. But you got me intriuged with this car - will try it out :)
I kinda want this car, thanks to Bjørn. To bad they dont sell it here in Denmark.
They will now in 2023
I would be better if the interior light color temp is warmer like in EQS. or is it because of white (out of) balance?
Thanks for the vid! Great product, this EHS9! Just the indicators' sound is like waterboarding.... I hope in real life this sound is not so terrible!
the seat belt warning sound is really annoying in real life so that I have to fasten it everytime lol
Hey Bjorn Thanks for this video, I want just tell you there is another edition for this car which is 7 seater but with 120KW battery pack which offer 650 KM range, And also I wonder to know will you borrow a 7 seater?
*kWh
one day, one day brother!
I hope you can test a ford 150 lightning soon.
I hope it will come to Europe soon.
i agree with you Björn, I think it looks great as well! From the perspective of being thirsty, try to drive a petrol Q7 across Europe (which I did last week) and you see things differently (glad i drive a Model 3 Performance btw).
Q7 is a "don't give a f" car though. Especially the V6 and V8 models...
Only a mother could love that grill though.
'Watch out surround" Hmm, maybe they thought of: "Watch out - terrain" 😂
"If you were blindfolded and you were driving...."🤣
Aye! lovely
Bjørn cool you like Makrel i Tomat, but have tryd to have slayser of Banana up on the markel i tomat on the top of the Brødskive. Its realy good you haf to try.
*makrell i tomat
Are you planning to test the comfort version? Would be interesting to see if the comfortable ride is still there.
How many airbags, crash testing data?
What do you consider the better car Hongqi E-HS9 or Nio ES8? Would like to hear your opinion?
I reckon it's the NIO, but this car looks next level though.
How does it compare to the new Xpeng X9?
nice
I see, that you have CarPlay on board. When I've bought Hongqi 2 weeks ago, the dealer (in Norway) said, that an update with CarPlay will be available not earlier then by the end of September... Just want to know - have he lied to me, or you've got some kind of pre-official release?
The press car has been fitted with this before the customer cars get the full update. Don't worry, you will get it soon.
@@Duckst3r89 Thanks a lot!
How is the experience with the car? It looks so cool, I'm interested too..
It is an Cadillac Escalade sized SUV with over 400 EV horses starting from well over €60,000.
What is the drag coefficient for this brick?
0.345
Fat etron was said many times in this video
i think nearly all designer of the EV cars are coming from Europe. Lucid, Polestar, Tesla, Nio, Hyundai with Kia, genesis. even Hongqi has since 2018 a new designer team from europe.
Even if the design is not my taste, I think this definitely is a luxury car and really reminds me on a Rolls-Royce, which I also find very ugly. Love that it is more quiet than the super expensive EQS.
I wonder if Germans now have to copy from Chinese technology. Schöne Grüße aus München
At first I thought it was a cheap Rolls Royce knock-off. But I must say it is growing on me and I love the interior. BUT the software experience is what will make or break an EV and I know too little about the Hongqi E-HS9 but from what little I saw in Bjorns videos the software is somewhat laggy, the English is poor and the battery charging performance (long distance travel) seems poor too. For an EV, looks aren't enough anymore.
The designer came from Rolls Royce. Just google it.
@@bjornnyland yes I am aware of that
It looks like Nio has better software.
Yeah but Usually those that buy these in China get a Driver with it 😎, therefore the laggy software is acceptable there i guess
@@dullumullu This Hongqi is definitely taking sales away from Rolls Royce. Chinese luxury cars are now technologically more advanced and getting more prestigious. When you buy this Hongqi or any other hongqi, you are becoming part of the Chinese middle class or elite class, enjoying the same prestigious status of a rising China. But still this Hongqi is not just marketing. It is made with better technology, backed by advance Chinese technology, which is among the best in the world. Spending extra on inferior competition will only show you are misguided.
If you like “most car for less money” or best value proposition, then ABC=Always buy Chinese.
Wouldn't this car be a good option for an EV taxi?
Made in my hometown, 长春一汽。
❤❤❤
damn the chinese have topped their game recently...
waiting for the Nio ET5 tests once it's available
Do you think i can make europe whit this car??
Will it be sold in Sweden?
Yes by Hedin bil.
Skulle vara ett under om den hamnar under 900.000 med den svenska kronan som den är. Blir nog intressant att höra hör ledtiden ser ut.
Hongsssshhhhieeetttttt!!!!! 😂🎉
"A dictator's car"! lol
😂Design by Homer Simpson !?
lol ooh shit its a boat 10:00
Is this car also wifey approved? :-)
Yes
Looks like airplane cockpit.
No, the sofware is likely more sophisicate.
Very disappointing that the 550hp are not there all the time on sport mode. ES8 has it all the time on Sport mode, even at low battery level.
Otherwise, good review, car is great but too long! 5,2m is a lot!
10000 and it will come with a chauffeur.
I think most people are tired of hearing "Fat e-Tron" now, just say e-Tron 🤣
Nope. Why? Becuase there are so many different variants of e-tron:
- A3 e-tron (plug-in hybrid)
- e-tron 50
- e-tron 55
- e-tron 60
- e-tron GT
- Q4 e-tron
So instead of saying e-tron 50/55/60, it's way easier and shorter to just say "fat e-tron". Now you know.
It is such a pity that the US market is so closed (and we had an orange idiot who decided to start a trade war with China and chased the ones who were setting up shop here...XPeng, Nio and a few others who had hard offices and engineering teams in my hood). I just left the high end car transport industry (worked primarily with mfg handling photo/ad shoots, car shows etc) and was chasing Xpeng and a number of others. For the EV sphere (where ICE level engineering is not easy to catch up with and gain respect and is no longer even relevant), the Chinese mfgs are hitting on all cylinders. Now that the government has culled the herd to a select list of mfgs, it is likely they will dominate the market (given the more competitive price points). Thanks, as always Bjorn for bringing reviews on these Chinese rides that we will likely never see. Hats off.
Too many screens! What a nightmare!
The more I see it, the more I like it, kind of like how I grew to appreciate big-boned, corn-fed women from Iowa.
word
22:05 Model 3 is more comparable to something like Ioniq EV.
Model 3 is more comparable to Nio ET5 and BYD Seal.
I have tried this for a couple of hours and it's a nice car do drive. I also used to own an e-tron 50 (just sold it) for over a year and I have to say I loved the e-tron and I would still buy that over this. The looks are just not for me. The large radiator grill in front just ruins the look. Buying a car is feelings. Now I am waiting for my CT4. None of them are efficiency kings, but I don't care. The looks are more important for me.
You exhibit the kind of decision making sellers want. Superficial evaluation is strong. Long-term reliability and resale evaluation must be limited, of course, because the information about the quality long-term of the construction and engineering requires expertise you haven't developed yet. Will the motor hold up? How about the single speed transmission? Remember the early Model S problems.
if you're worried about money when shopping for an EV, my advice to you is to take public transit, it has an even smaller ecological footprint than a private vehicle and is the most economical choice
@@tw5917 A consumer who lacks the analysis capability to evaluate a major expenditure will benefit from assistance. This is a vehicle for a group- like a family. Try taking your family everywhere by bus. Some future day this will be possible. We live in the reality of the present. A person with rudimentary logic skills sees that.
@@eb1888. if you want a budget option to take your family around and you feel like taking the bus is impractical, buy a used Prius, don't bother with paying the premium to be an early adopter of EV tech
@@tw5917 I'm a late adopter with my Model 3 used. I have only good reactions to the choice. Just plug it in at home.
I definitely agree with everyone saying it looks retro. Design is lagging. Looks like something that could come out of North Korea.
Is that an Audi key? That shouldn't have been a question. That is definitely an Audi key.
Battery range is horrible.
Im your moron viewer @Bjørn Nyland 🤣🙈 but to be fair the point was more to illustrate that if you stick to a small efficient car, you dont need to leave your car plugged in 24/7. A lot of people are easily put off if they feel the total amount of planning and facilitation becomes too much for them to handle
People's hating it or everything to do with China and Russia More like political issues .....instead of looking and enjoying THE CAR and info you giving..........
My point of veiw this car out and inside looks ausome .....
Ok, nice! You've ALMOST sold me... just lose 3 of the 4 big-screens, drop the horsepower to something sane, like about 1/3, and remove that massive tumor between the front seats and put the controls on the dash. Put in a front bench seat, or leave a gap for easy access to the back seats (better for families with kids, etc.). And fix some of those bugs, like with the turn signals... that would drive me NUTS!
Okay, maybe it needs just a bit of work... but I do like the size and "boat with wheels" ride you describe!
486 CPU 💀
Resell value and servicing this car are still an issue in Europe…
Why? MotorForum in Norway is taking care of it. They also have Renault, Mitsubishi, Dacia and Xpeng.
@@bjornnyland I live close to Wien and the nearest dealer is in Norway and Netherlands...kind of far if you have a simple electrical problem for example or any other problem for that matter.
this is what Kim Jong-un drives when he goes to his super villain lair / cabin.
i believe he already owned one, but remove the brand with korean name. lol
I only saw ehs9 about twice in a year and i thought it aim to male consumers over 40 years old. Negative on its sales.
I couldn’t think of anything more ostentatious and disgusting as this thing. It screams w****r more than a q7, and that’s saying something.
The exterior just looks tacky to me. It's the kind of car where I'd assume the owner is a rich, entitled asshole because odds are good they are. No self-respecting normal human being would want to be caught driving around in this dictator's wagon. By comparison NIO does everything better, better styling, better branding. I'm sure there's nothing terribly bad about this car, but looks-wise it's just embarrassing.
I disagee 🙈 i must be a complete asshole 🤭
NIO? better branding? We don't agree with you here in China. They are diff brands for diff people. HQ Prefer to sell to administrative level or super rich and powerful customer. HQ has some special cars you can't ever buy, even you are rich enough to buy a RR easily, it‘s a more stately brand compare to NIO and NIO tends to sold to normal people(everyone) who can afford.
