"The Hongqi HS6 PHEV set a Guinness World Record by traveling 2,327.343 kilometers on a single full charge and fuel tank without refueling, departing from Shangri-La on October 30 and arriving in Guangzhou on November 3. The achievement surpassed previous record holders including Chery's Fulwin T10, establishing new benchmarks for plug-in hybrid range capability. But beyond the impressive range figures, this 5-seater SUV makes its strongest statement through two areas where Chinese automakers are increasingly competing with global luxury brands: exterior design presence and interior craftsmanship."
"The Hongqi HS6 PHEV's front fascia bears the unmistakable signature of Giles Taylor, the former Rolls-Royce chief designer who now leads Hongqi's design direction. The closed grille reinterprets traditional Chinese design language through the lens of British ultraluxury aesthetics, featuring a waterfall design with 12 vertical chrome strips that create a sculptured, three-dimensional effect rather than the flat appearance common in many electric and hybrid vehicles."
