Introducing the Tiangong 08: Hongqi's New All-Electric SUV, Available for $32,730
The Hongqi Tiangong 08, an all-electric mid-to-large-size SUV, has recently been launched by China FAW Group's prestigious Hongqi brand. This innovative vehicle, also known internationally as the E-HS7 electric model, offers a range of features and variants to cater to different preferences.
The powertrain of the Tiangong 08 includes dual-motor four-wheel drive and single-motor rear-wheel drive options. The dual-motor versions boast an extra front motor with a peak power of 455 kW and peak torque of 756 Nm, enabling a swift acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. Single-motor versions accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds.
The Hongqi Tiangong 08 is available with three battery pack options, including Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and lithium-ion ternary. The battery capacity typically ranges from approximately 75 kWh to 111 kWh, depending on the battery chemistry and specific variant.
Variants with LFP batteries generally provide a range of around 500 to 600 kilometers, while those with lithium-ion ternary batteries tend to exceed 600 kilometers per full charge due to their higher energy density. The vehicle supports fast charging, and can be charged from 10 percent to 80 percent in as little as 20 minutes.
The Tiangong 08 is built on Hongqi's Tiangong modular platform, which covers a wide range of vehicle types, including compact cars, large-size cars, SUVs, MPVs, and crossover models. The SUV has a wheelbase of 3,000 mm and measures 4,925 mm in length, 1,950 mm in width, and 1,680 mm in height.
The Tiangong 08 is available in five variants with starting prices ranging from RMB 239,800 ($32,730) to RMB 339,800. FAW Hongqi has also joined the CATL battery swap alliance, suggesting a potential future for battery-swapping technology in the Hongqi Tiangong 08.
