Comparison: Range (WLTP) Hongqi E-HS9 vs. competitors 2024

The range of an electric car, such as this , refers to the maximum distance it can travel on a single charge of its battery. This can vary widely depending on factors such as the size and capacity of the battery (E-HS9 : 99 kWh), the vehicle's weight ((E-HS9 : 2735 kg)) and aerodynamics, and the driving conditions.The WLTP range cycle (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure) is a test procedure specifically designed to measure the range and consumption of an electric vehicle. It is done in variety of driving conditions, such as urban, suburban and highway driving , as well as air conditioning and heating usage.This test aims to provide a more realistic estimate of an electric vehicle's range than the previous testing method (NEDC), which was based on a single driving cycle.The longest range you can find amongst similar vehicles has Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV 450+ (X296 ), which is 199km more than the E-HS9 - 664 km. For illustration, the difference in battery capacity between the Hongqi and the Mercedes-Benz is -99kWh. On the other hand, the shortest range in the "medium SUV" category belongs to Maxus Euniq 6 , which is 354 km - that makes it 111km shorter than the Hongqi in question.
