The Hongqi E-HS9, a luxurious all-electric three-row SUV from China, is one of the latest models tested in Bjørn Nyland's 1,000 km challenge, which is designed to check long-distance travel capabilities, related to the combination of range, efficiency, and fast charging.
The car is quite heavy (2,780 kg with the driver) and not too aerodynamically efficient (drag coefficient of about 0.345), according to the recent range test, but its energy consumption is comparable to many other large BEVs with much better aerodynamics, which is a big positive.
