Evergrande announces the first six Hengchi models
More details have been revealed about the Chinese Evergrande Group’s ambitious electric car plans: Evergrande has now announced the first six models to be offered under the Hengchi brand.
The six models are numbered quite simply from 1 to 6 (Hengchi 1 to Hengchi 6) and include various body styles from sedans to SUVs and even a seven-seater van. The Chinese electric carmaker has not yet released technical data or a time schedule beyond the Hengchi 1.
Series production of the first Hengchi 1 model is scheduled to start in 2021. At the ground-breaking ceremony for the electric drive factory in May, it was still being said that the Hengchi 1 would be presented in the first half of 2020 and go into series production from 2021. Instead of a more detailed presentation of the Hengchi 1, the company has given an outlook on the first six series.
The Hengchi 1 is to become an “ultra-luxury sedan” in the D-segment, with a wheelbase of 3.15 metres. The Hengchi 2 is to become a luxury sedan in the B-segment, the Hengchi 4 a luxury MPV with seven seats. All three models were drawn by Anders Warming (formerly Mini and Borgward). The Hengchi 3 is to become a large luxury SUV, while models 5 and 6 are to be positioned in the A-segment – one as an SUV, the other as a crossover.
