Hongqi's latest electric vehicles, the E-H7 sedan and E-HS7 SUV, have both earned the prestigious 5-star safety rating from the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP), reinforcing the brand's strong safety reputation established by the earlier E-HS9 model. These vehicles underwent rigorous testing, including high-speed front, rear, and side collisions at speeds up to 100 km/h, compression tests simulating heavy impacts on the panoramic glass roof, and extreme environmental assessments such as water submersion, smoke, explosion, and fire resistance. The tests confirmed the vehicles’ structural integrity, effective airbag deployment, and occupant protection under various challenging scenarios.
