Until the red flag H9 was released a while ago, the price was 300,000, and the highest was 500,000.
I think "before she came to us, we had called 1000 times and urged 1000 times" is the best way to describe this H9. As auto media people, we have been waiting for too long, because we haven't seen such a high-end domestic car for a long time. So, the moment I got the key, I was eager. I really want to lift her veil and see her true colors. Besides, the model I got today is inferior. I believe many people will choose this version, so it is more representative.
Simply put, in terms of design, the appearance of this car can be described by the word "domineering". Inadvertently, it even has the charm of Rolls-Royce. Is it too much to call it China Rolls Royce? The interior is even more surprising. The price of 320,000 has almost a configuration that can only be seen by 400,000 models. NAPPA leather seats, ambient lights, wireless charging, collision warning, active braking, lane departure warning ... there are many dazzling configurations. The atmosphere of the interior has basically reached the top level.
It is true that for luxury cars, not talking about the driving experience is simply hooliganism. The "luxury car" is incredible, not only the price, but also the driving quality. For the potential buyers of this car, everyone is most concerned about its driving experience, and whether it is worthy of its pricing is also a question in my heart.
After a few days of test drive, everything vanished.
The engine of 2.0T+48V system is not less than the maximum power of BBA of 2.0T and 252PS, which is absolutely enough for this car. You may think that this car is domineering, but on the contrary, the significance of this medium-sized and large-sized car equipped with a high-power engine is not to improve the acceleration experience, but to optimize the driving experience. Even if you step on the accelerator deeply, you don't have to be hoarse. I think this car did it. On the H9, the engine of this car has been trained very docile, because the torque output at medium and low speed is sufficient, the presence of the engine is very low, and the sound insulation inside the car is quite good. In the high-speed stage, this 2.0T engine can explode with profound skill. Even if you overtake at high speed, you don't need to slam on the accelerator. Sufficient power reserve can make drivers appear unusually calm when overtaking, which is also a good thing for passengers. After the acceleration is completed, the gearbox upshifts again, and the engine returns to a very low cruising speed, which has a deep reputation.
On the gearbox, a 7-speed power shift is adopted. Maybe you will wonder why ZF 8AT is not used in luxury cars. My understanding is that if ZF's 8AT is used, the domestic flavor will not be so strong. In the actual experience, I can feel the restraint of this gearbox when shifting gears. Even when shifting gears in downtown areas, it can be as slow and soothing as possible, much like the 8AT gearbox on high-end models. Although there is no lightning-fast shifting style of traditional dual clutch, I prefer to accept its smooth shifting style. Exaggerated, this dual clutch is better than Audi's TIPROC.
The significance of this car lies in the A6 and A5 series of BBA and the E-class of Mercedes-Benz. But in terms of price, it can be comparable to the 3 series. It can be seen that the pricing of H9 is basically consistent with the landing price of Series 3. To some extent, this car is designed to attract potential consumers who originally considered A6L. As long as they are willing to test drive and feel the texture of this car, they will be very rewarding.
Of course, on the other hand, this car is boring to drive. Because as an administrative model, smooth driving is definitely the main theme, and sports and passion are relatively less important. Therefore, for young people, its existence does not make much sense. But for those who pursue comfort and business, this car is simply rare.
It's still a pity to test drive this time, because the H9 uses a 3.0T six-cylinder engine on a higher configuration model, although I have tried the V8 for many years. There are countless V 10, but I am still full of expectations for domestic V6. Perhaps it is not so perfect in fuel consumption performance, but the ride comfort of the 6-cylinder engine is incomparable to that of the 4-cylinder engine. So, wait, maybe there will be another test drive.
On the whole, this car gives me a feeling far beyond my expectation. Although there is no test drive to the higher-end 3.0T version, the 2.0T version has surpassed many luxury cars. Maybe it is not suitable for young people, maybe it has some flaws, maybe its international reputation is not enough, but its performance has brought enough surprises.
