Tonight, the new red flag H9 was officially released in the Great Hall of the people in Beijing, positioning the C+ class administrative luxury car, the new car uses the latest design style with two-color body, the overall shape is very dignified, the overall interior is very luxurious. The new car looks like Rolls-Royce, probably because the design director of Red Flag car is from Rolls-Royce.

The front face of the new car uses a straight waterfall chrome plating screen, and both sides are embellished with LED matrix light sources. Some coupe design elements have been added to the side of the body, the door handle has a hidden door handle, and the car will feature a two-color body, which is similar to the Mercedes-Benz Maybach two-color collection. The rear of the vehicle uses a penetrating semi-enclosed headlamp, which is a bit like a Cadillac on both sides, but runs through the middle, with a red flag and Chinese characters in the rear.

The interior of the new car uses the so-called "Oriental mood cockpit". The entire central console is almost covered with screens, and the driver can see a full LCD dashboard similar to a tablet computer in front of the driver. The traditional central control screen is embedded in the Mesa, and the size is significantly increased. In front of the co-pilot is the atmosphere lamp composed of LED light source.

In the next five years, the new red flag will form 21 products covering four series of the family, including 18 electrified models. In the field of intelligence, the new Hongqi brand production models will achieve L3 self-driving in 2021 and L4 self-driving in 2022.
