by AutoExpert | 4 January, 2024
The Hongqi Guoyue bus emerges as a particularly flamboyant addition to the brand's lineup. Its uniqueness lies in its potential adoption by government agencies, the hospitality sector, and large corporations.
The Guoyue offers three configurations: a business version with 20 or 23 seats, a luxury version with 17 or 19 seats, and a flagship version with 17 seats.
Sizing up like typical small buses at 7,295 mm in length, 2,090 mm in width, and 2,785 mm in height, the Guoyue flaunts a 3,990 mm wheelbase. What distinguishes it in China's market is its unabashed commitment to luxury, showcasing a large grille, LED daytime running lights, and the iconic Red Flag emblem running along the sides.
Inside, the cabin is a haven of opulence, featuring a large infotainment display, a wireless charging pad, an electronic shifter, and seats dressed in elegant beige leather. A 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, generating 292 hp and 308 lb-ft of torque, powers the bus, propelling it to a top speed of 130 km/h.
Expected to hit the Chinese market in February, the Hongqi Guoyue excellently melds luxury with practicality. Therefore, it will become a tempting offer for businesses.
