2024 Hongqi HS7 PHEV 2.0T QiChang 4WD 6-Seat for Sale — 31,000 km, 20.1 kWh Plug-in Hybrid SUV

A 2024 Hongqi HS7 PHEV 2.0T QiChang four-wheel-drive six-seat SUV with 31,000 km is available now in Zhengzhou, Henan, for USD 18,200. It pairs a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a 20.1 kWh battery for a combined 238 kW, and it ships as an export unit with full paperwork.

The HS7 is the big one in Hongqi’s SUV line — a three-row, six-seat family hauler that Chinese fleets bought for airport runs and government use. As a plug-in hybrid it does two things a pure-parallel import does not: it runs on electricity for the school run and on petrol for the 600 km highway leg, with no charger hunting in between. If you have ever tried to sell a foreign buyer a full EV that needs a 40-minute stop every 300 km, you know why that matters.

What exactly is this car?

A 2024 Hongqi HS7 PHEV, 2.0T, QiChang trim, automatic, four-wheel drive, six seats. First registered in 2024, 31,000 km on the clock, black paint, black interior. It was built by FAW under the Hongqi nameplate, the marque that has supplied Chinese state limousines since 1958 — which is why a Hongqi grille carries weight in a way most Chinese badges do not.

QiChang is the trim with the full driver-assistance set, the larger centre screen and the six-seat captain-chair layout rather than a three-across bench in the middle row. Six seats in a car this size means second-row occupants get armrests and a walk-through to the third row, which is the configuration families and chauffeur operators actually want.

How much does a used Hongqi HS7 PHEV cost?

This HS7 PHEV is priced at USD 18,200 FOB China, which is roughly RMB 130,000 in the domestic market. A new HS7 PHEV in QiChang trim lists near RMB 300,000 in China, so a 2024 car with 31,000 km is trading at a little over half of new. The reason is straightforward: large plug-in hybrids depreciate hard in the Chinese domestic market because the buyers who can afford them buy new, and the export channel is where the residual value actually gets realised.

That price does not include freight, insurance, or destination charges. A 40-foot container to East Africa or the Gulf typically adds USD 1,500 to 3,500 on a vehicle this size, and destination duties vary enormously — check your own country’s rate before you commit, because a 2.0T plug-in hybrid is classified differently from a pure EV in most tariff schedules.

What do 238 kW and 20.1 kWh mean in daily use?

238 kW is the combined system output of the 2.0T engine and the electric motor, which works out to about 324 HP. That is enough to move a two-and-a-bit-tonne six-seat SUV without drama, and it is why the HS7 does not feel like the underpowered three-row it replaced.

The 20.1 kWh battery gives an electric-only range in the region of 80 to 100 km on the Chinese CLTC cycle — realistically 60 to 75 km in mixed driving. In practice that covers a full day of city errands with the engine never starting. On a long run the petrol engine takes over and total range stretches past 1,000 km, which is the entire point of a plug-in hybrid in a market where charging infrastructure outside major cities is patchy.

Hongqi HS7 PHEV specifications

Is a six-seat SUV worth it over a seven-seat?

For most families, yes. A seven-seat three-row SUV puts three people across the middle row, which means the person in the middle gets a narrow cushion and no armrest for the entire trip. A six-seat layout with captain’s chairs gives every second-row occupant a proper seat and creates a centre aisle so children can reach the third row without folding anything.

The trade-off is one fewer seat belt and a slightly smaller load area when all rows are up. If you regularly move seven adults, this is the wrong car. If you move four to six people plus luggage, or you run airport transfers where passengers expect to be comfortable, the six-seat HS7 is the better configuration — and it is the one Chinese buyers paid a premium for.

Who should buy this HS7, and who should not?

Buy it if you want a large, comfortable, high-riding family or executive-transfer vehicle with genuine electric capability for city use and no range anxiety on long trips. Buy it if your market has reasonable import rules for plug-in hybrids and you can service a 2.0T engine locally — this is a conventional turbo-petrol engine under the hybrid hardware, not an exotic.

Skip it if your country taxes plug-in hybrids punitively, if there is no Hongqi parts channel anywhere near you, or if you need a pure EV for regulatory reasons such as a zero-emission zone. Skip it too if you are buying purely on price and expect a 2024 large SUV at small-car money — 18,200 dollars is a fair price for this car, not a bargain-bin number, and anyone quoting you less on a 31,000 km HS7 is either selling a damaged car or not selling you a car at all.

What should you check before you buy?

Three things, in this order.

• Battery health report. Ask for a state-of-health reading from the BMS, not just a photo of the dashboard. A 20.1 kWh pack at 31,000 km should be above 90 percent; anything in the low 80s means it lived on DC fast charging or sat at 100 percent charge in a hot climate.
• Service history. The 2.0T needs its oil and filter intervals respected. A car with dealer stamps through 31,000 km is worth more than a cheaper one with gaps, and it is the single easiest thing to verify.
• Accident and paint check. Black paint hides small repairs until you look at it in daylight at an angle. Get a paint depth reading on every panel, and pull the insurance record if the seller has it.

We can supply the battery report and the service record for this car before you pay anything, and we photograph every panel. That is not generosity — it is the only way to sell a car to someone eleven time zones away and have them come back for the next one.

How does the HS7 compare with other Chinese SUVs we stock?

If you want a plug-in hybrid SUV in the same size class but a different flavour, our 2024 Hongqi HQ9 PHEV luxury MPV takes the same plug-in hybrid idea into van form, and it is the logical alternative for buyers who want maximum space rather than a raised SUV. If they would rather have a cheaper four-door from the same brand, the 2024 Hongqi H5 1.5T Zhilian Qiyun is a volume unit rather than a flagship.

Both pages list live stock. If neither is the right shape, tell us the budget and the seat count and we will pull what is actually available in Henan and Guangdong that week — stock moves faster than any catalogue.

• Combined system output is 238 kW (about 324 HP) from a 2.0T engine plus electric motor, with a 20.1 kWh battery.
• Electric-only range is roughly 80–100 km CLTC, so city driving can be done without starting the engine, while total range exceeds 1,000 km.
• The six-seat captain-chair layout is more comfortable than a seven-seat bench configuration for four to six occupants.
• Ask for a battery state-of-health reading and a continuous service record before paying; both are available for this car.
