Hongqi's newest flagship EVs achieve five-star EURO NCAP safety rating

Hongqi's latest electric offerings have proven themselves to be safe and secure EVs. The luxury marque remains committed to the highest standards of vehicle safety, with its newest flagship electric models, the E-H7 and E-HS7, scoring five-star ratings in the Euro NCAP standardized safety test.

These models add to Hongqi’s already stellar record for safety, with the E-HS9 also having previously received a five-star rating from the Euro NCAP.

Both the E-H7 and E-HS7 were subjected to a water submersion test to determine how well it can resist flood damage as well as leakages, smoke, explosion, and fire tests, which were all passed without incident. Other tests include simulated front and rear collisions at speeds of up to 100 km/h, followed by dedicated side-impact assessments. Both vehicles passed the collision tests in flying colors with no significant deformation of the car’s pillars and with airbags deploying as designed.

Last but not least, a compression test to simulate a massive object falling onto the vehicle, equivalent to nearly 7.8 tons on the panoramic glass roof, is performed. This final test left minimal deformation, leaving ample survival space for occupants.

Through the 5-star rating achieved during rigorous Euro NCAP testing, Hongqi proves its commitment to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to keeping its passengers not only stylish and comfortable, but safe and protected.

“As faithful Hongqi owners know, the moment you step into a Hongqi vehicle, you immediately enter a world of luxury both inside and out. But feeling comfortable and looking great on the road mean nothing when a vehicle isn’t safe. That’s why our ultimate priority has always been the protection of

all passengers, drivers, and even pedestrians, whenever someone takes the wheel of an E-H7 or E-HS7,” said Rashid Delgado, Hongqi PH & EVOxTerra president, TDG Co-CEO.

On top of paramount safety considerations, the Hongqi E-HS7 and E-H7 come with stunning visuals and incredible performance. The E-H7 starts at PHP 2,280,000 and provides an incredible single-charge driving range of 650 km. On the other hand, the E-HS7 begins at PHP 2,580,000 and can travel up to 540 km on a full charge.
