Interior

During the 2023 Auto Shanghai, the second generation Hongqi HS7 was unveiled. [5] It received a significant redesign with enhancements in both its exterior and interior.

The interior has been changed comprehensively, featuring a 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel, paired with a 12.6-inch central control screen and a Head-Up Display (HUD).

It is equipped with the CA4GC20TD-35 2.0-liter I4 turbocharged engine from FAW, which has 350-bar high-pressure fuel injection system and dual-channel, low-inertia, high-response electronic boost control. It delivers a power of 185 kW and a peak torque of 380 N·m. Additionally, the vehicle benefits from a 48V mild hybrid system paired with Aisin's AWF8F45 8-speed automatic transmission. The 3.0-liter V6 engine option is cancelled in the second generation HS7.
