FAW’s Hong Qi H7 sedan is getting ready for its launch on April 20th. The H7 will become a staple of government ministers when it finally hits the market later this month, the H7 was independently developed by FAW over the past few years, although it is rumored to have substantial Audi content.

The H7 will see the light of day held at a press conference within the Diao Yu Tai State Guest House which is usually reserved for foreign dignitaries and other very very important people.Engine power for the H7 will come from 2.0T, 2.5L and 3.0L V6 engines which are mated to six speed automatic gearboxes. The V6 engines are from FAW’s own in house design and construction.

Pricing is hard to determine at the moment, but we estimate it to be in the 250,000RMB range to keep it inline with government purchasing requirements.
