[AUTOHOME New Car Premiere] On August 13, Tiangong 07, the all-new mid-to-large sedan under FAW Hongqi, officially made its debut. Meanwhile, the model will be put on public display at the 2026 Chengdu Motor Show kicking off on August 21, and will hit the market in the second half of this year.
● New Vehicle Features
In terms of exterior, according to official disclosures, the new model takes Oriental aesthetics as its core and minimalist blank space as its design concept, which enhances its overall recognizability. Specifically, it adopts a closed front grille, paired with uniquely shaped headlight clusters and the central Hongqi brand logo, creating a pleasant visual effect.
Viewed from the side, the vehicle features smooth roof lines matched with hidden door handles and double five-spoke rims, delivering a strong sense of sportiness. At the rear, it is equipped with a through-type taillight cluster, paired with a slightly upturned ducktail design, which not only enriches the visual hierarchy, but also boosts the vehicle's sporty vibe. In terms of dimensions, the new car measures 5000mm in length, 1915mm in width and 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3000mm.
For the interior, the model adopts a wraparound cockpit design, and is fitted with a full LCD instrument panel, a floating central control screen and hidden air conditioning vents, matched with a two-tone color scheme of dark upper and light lower parts, presenting a decent overall sense of sophistication. Meanwhile, its central console island is equipped with dual phone slots (with a wireless charging area on one side), dual cup holders and mechanical multimedia knobs, etc., to improve the convenience of vehicle use.
As for the rear row, the vehicle is equipped with air conditioning vents, suspected magnetic charging ports, and the second-row seats support 4/6 split folding, further improving the vehicle's storage space performance. In terms of assisted driving, the model will be equipped with Hongqi Sinan Intelligent Driving Solution, which can realize high-level combined driving assistance functions including full-dimensional active safety, high-speed pilot assistance, urban pilot assistance, full-scenario intelligent parking assistance, cross-floor memory parking, touchless ETC passage, end-to-end three-point turn, waiting zone passage, and parking space-to-parking space navigation.
In terms of power, according to previous regulatory filing information, the new car will offer single-motor and dual-motor versions. The single motor has a maximum power of 340kW, while the dual-motor version has a maximum power of 190kW and 340kW respectively for the two motors, and its energy storage device is a lithium iron phosphate battery supplied by China Automotive New Energy.
● Competing Models
At present, the competition in the mid-to-large new energy sedan segment is becoming increasingly fierce. New car-making forces, traditional Chinese brands and overseas automakers continue to increase investment in layout, and constantly launch new products to compete for share in the segmented market. After its debut, Hongqi Tiangong 07 will directly compete with models such as Lynk & Co 10 and Xpeng P7, which are highly similar in size positioning and price range (price reference: Hongqi ES7). At the same time, due to overlapping price bands, the vehicle also forms a direct competitive relationship with new energy models of overseas brands such as Toyota Bozhi 7. Facing a number of competitors with mature product strength and good market visibility, the market competition pressure Hongqi Tiangong 07 has to bear should not be underestimated. However, in recent years, the Hongqi brand has continued to deepen its efforts in the new energy field. Relying on its long-accumulated brand reputation and loyal user base, the new car is expected to gain considerable market attention and secure a foothold in the fierce market competition.
● Editor's Comments
The launch of Hongqi Tiangong 07 is an important layout for Hongqi to keep pace with market consumption trends and respond to user needs. The new model further expands the product matrix of the Tiangong series, and continuously consolidates Hongqi's core competitive advantages in the new energy track. If a reasonable tiered pricing strategy with flexible coverage for both upper and lower market segments is formulated later, it will have cross-segment competitiveness, further penetrate downward and seize market share in lower-level segmented markets. So, what do you think of the comprehensive performance of Hongqi Tiangong 07? Does its overall exterior design meet your expectations? The model will be launched in the second half of the year. What price range do you think it should fall into to stand out in the market full of competitors? Please leave your opinions in the comment section. (Text by Zhou Yi, AUTOHOME )
