The luxury and powerful sedan has become the most expensive Chinese car on sale here. It is a direct challenger to the likes of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesupercarblog.com\/no-maybach-gls-rivalling-audi-q9-horch-on-the-cards-confirms-audi-ceo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mercedes-Maybach<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Hongqi Guoya has been designed under the direction of former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesupercarblog.com\/64-million-worth-of-rolls-royce-one-offs-arrive-in-london-boat-tail-droptail-goldfinger-phantom\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rolls-Royce<\/a> designer Giles Taylor. It features an imposing front grille, retro-inspired headlamps, and a retractable hood ornament. Its vertical taillights are inspired by traditional Chinese palace lanterns.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hongqi-Guoya-sedan-2.jpg\" alt=\"Hongqi Guoya sedan\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1029\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The cabin offers various luxurious features such as supple Nappa leather and real wood sourced from colder regions of China. It also comes with a 14.2-inch 4K OLED display, and you can use Face ID to unlock personalised driver settings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hongqi-Guoya-sedan-4.jpg\" alt=\"Hongqi Guoya sedan\" width=\"851\" height=\"686\"\/><\/p>\n<p>But the real magic happens in the rear. The four-seat configuration transforms the Guoya into a rolling lounge. Reclining seats with massage, ventilation, and even a near flat \u201czero-gravity\u201d mode redefine long-distance comfort. Add to that a 32-speaker audio system paired with 4D vibration feedback, and you\u2019re essentially travelling first class on wheels.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Hongqi-Guoya-sedan-3.jpg\" alt=\"Hongqi Guoya sedan\" width=\"1760\" height=\"820\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Under the skin, it\u2019s no slouch either. A V6 hybrid with 380 hp kicks things off, while a 4.0L V8-powered flagship pushes out 476 hp, hitting 62 mph (100 km\/h) in just 4.5 seconds. Air suspension, rear-wheel steering, and self-repairing tyres round off a seriously advanced package.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/chinese-Hongqi-Guoya-sedan-russia-2.webp\" alt=\"chinese-Hongqi Guoya sedan-russia\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Hongqi Guoya will be available in Russia in two variants. The Elegance with a V6 and five seats for $390,965 (27.7 million Russian Rubles), and the Imperial with a V8 and four seats for $447,429 (31.7 million Russian Rubles). For comparison, the imported Mercedes-Maybach is available from $635,130 (45 million Russian Rubles).<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.32cars.ru\/posts\/id-19548-samyj-dorogoj-kitajskij-avtomobil-priehal-v-rossiju-hongqi-guoya-stoit-kak-kvartira-v-moskve\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">32cars<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hongqi Guoya has officially entered the Russian market.
