FAW's Hongqi brand opened pre-sales for the 2026 Tiangong 07 on September 21, 2026, positioning it as the flagship sedan of its all-electric Tiangong sub-series alongside the smaller Tiangong 05 and the Tiangong 06/08 SUVs. The Tiangong 07 is a mid-to-large pure-electric sedan built on an 800V, silicon-carbide-inverter platform, offered with a choice of 75 kWh or 85 kWh LFP battery packs and a CLTC range of up to 730 km. Buyers can choose a single rear motor good for 456 hp or a dual-motor all-wheel-drive flagship producing a combined 710 hp and a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time. Pre-sale pricing spans 189,900 to 219,900 yuan (about $27,900 to $32,300), with a limited-time promotional price of 169,900 to 199,900 yuan (about $25,000 to $29,300) across the car's three trims. Hongqi is targeting buyers who want flagship-style cabin tech and ultra-fast charging without the six-figure price tag, wrapping it all in a fastback-profiled sedan body with a closed grille and semi-hidden door handles.
Performance & Specs
The Tiangong 07's base configuration uses a single rear-mounted motor rated at 340 kW (456 hp) and 450 N·m of torque, enough for a 0-100 km/h run in about 5.6–5.8 seconds depending on the exact single-motor trim. Step up to the range-topping dual-motor version and Hongqi pairs a 190 kW (255 hp) front motor with the same 340 kW (456 hp) rear unit for a combined 530 kW (710 hp) and 770 N·m, cutting the 0-100 km/h sprint to 3.5 seconds — a genuinely quick number for a car pre-selling from around $25,000. All three trims ride on an 800V electrical architecture built around silicon-carbide power electronics, which is also what enables the car's fast-charging times. Curb weight ranges from about 2,130 kg for the base single-motor car up to 2,295 kg for the dual-motor AWD flagship, according to Hongqi's MIIT regulatory filing.

Dimensions & Practicality

|---|---|
| Width | 1,915 mm |
| Height | 1,490 mm |
| Wheelbase | 3,000 mm |
At 5,000 mm long and riding a 3,000 mm wheelbase, the Tiangong 07 is a genuinely large sedan. Hongqi says the cabin achieves an 85.1% space-efficiency ratio, translating that length into unusually generous rear legroom for the class. The standout practicality feature is the front passenger seat, which offers 16-way power adjustment with heating, ventilation and massage and reclines to a near-flat 1,617 mm position for long-distance comfort — a touch more common on cars costing twice as much. A 1.87 m² panoramic sunroof and a choice of three interior color schemes round out the cabin, though Hongqi has not yet published exact trunk or frunk cargo figures ahead of the car's full launch.

Charging & Battery
Every Tiangong 07 trim rides on an 800V high-voltage electrical architecture built around silicon-carbide (SiC) power electronics, the same class of hardware used by charging-speed leaders in the segment. Hongqi pairs that architecture with its in-house "Tiangong Xuanjia" LFP battery pack, offered in 75 kWh and 85 kWh capacities depending on trim, for a CLTC range spanning roughly 640 km on the base pack up to 730 km on the largest single-motor configuration. The payoff of the 800V platform is charging speed: Hongqi quotes a 10-80% DC fast-charge time of 12 minutes or less across the lineup, among the quicker charge times claimed by any sedan at this price point. Hongqi has not yet published a peak DC charging power figure or an AC onboard-charger rating, so exact minute-by-minute charging curves will have to wait for the car's full on-sale launch.

Design & Interior
Exterior design leans into a fastback silhouette more common on sport sedans than mainstream family cars, with a closed-off front fascia (no need for a traditional grille on a pure EV), narrow split headlights, and semi-hidden door handles that keep the flanks clean. A continuous light bar links the taillights across the trunk lid, and Hongqi has given the car a subtle "ducktail" spoiler integrated into the trunk lip rather than a bolted-on wing. Dual five-spoke alloy wheels — 18-inch on the base trim, staggered 19-inch wheels (245/45R19 front, 265/40R19 rear) on the dual-motor flagship — fill out the wheel arches. Inside, the cabin swaps Hongqi's traditionally formal, chrome-heavy design language for a cleaner, tech-forward layout: an 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster sits ahead of the driver, paired with a large 17.3-inch floating central touchscreen. Official press photos show a sage-green exterior paired with a burnt-orange leather interior, one of three color schemes Hongqi is offering at launch. Build-quality touches include a crystal-effect rotary drive-mode selector on the center console and a diamond-quilted stitching pattern across the seats.
Technology & Features
The Tiangong 07's infotainment stack runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8397 chip powering Hongqi's Lingxi Cockpit 6.0 software, which supports Apple CarPlay, Huawei HiCar and the ICCOA Carlink standard so both iPhone and Android owners get full-screen phone mirroring. Sound comes from an 18-speaker Bose 7.1.4 surround system, a genuinely high-end setup for a sedan pre-selling from around $25,000. The center screen and instrument cluster shown in official photos use a clean, dark-mode-first interface with shortcuts for climate, driving mode and the car's parking-assist suite laid out along the bottom edge. Hongqi has not detailed voice-assistant capabilities or over-the-air update cadence for the Tiangong 07 specifically, though its sibling Tiangong models support OTA updates as standard.
Safety & ADAS
Driver assistance centers on a 384-line dynamic zoom LiDAR unit mounted ahead of the windshield, feeding Hongqi's Sinan Intelligent Driving 5.0 system. The suite covers highway and urban pilot-assist driving, full-scene automated parking, and a cross-floor memory-parking feature that lets the car recall and repeat a multi-level parking-garage route on its own. The body structure uses what Hongqi calls a "9H4M" high-strength steel cage across the passenger cell, and the car posts a 100-to-0 km/h braking distance of 33.6 meters, a strong figure for a sedan north of two tonnes. Hongqi has not published a full ADAS hardware count (camera/radar/ultrasonic sensor totals) ahead of the car's official on-sale launch.

Pricing & Availability
Hongqi opened Tiangong 07 pre-sales in China on September 21, 2026, quoting a standard pre-sale band of 189,900 to 219,900 yuan (about $27,900 to $32,300) across three trims, discounted to a limited-time promotional band of 169,900 to 199,900 yuan (about $25,000 to $29,300) for early depositors. Hongqi has not yet broken out individual per-trim pricing or announced a firm delivery date, both of which are expected to follow at the car's full launch event. The Tiangong 07 joins the existing Tiangong 05 sedan and Tiangong 06/08 SUVs as the electric flagship of Hongqi's Tiangong sub-brand, aimed squarely at the crowded 200,000-yuan-class field of Chinese electric sedans.
How It Compares
Against the 2024 ZEEKR 007, the Tiangong 07's range-topping single-motor trim essentially matches ZEEKR's 688 km CLTC figure while undercutting its $30,974 price by a wide margin at the promotional $25,000 starting point — though buyers need the pricier trim to actually reach 730 km. The XIAOMI SU7 remains the segment's tech-brand halo car and is priced close to Hongqi's top trim, but the Tiangong 07's dual-motor flagship out-powers the base SU7 by more than 400 hp and adds 800V charging that the entry SU7 lacks. Compared with the Toyota bZ7, a mainstream Japanese-brand EV sedan selling for a similar $29,513, the Tiangong 07's 800V architecture and dual-motor performance option give it a clear speed and charging-time edge, even though Toyota's badge carries more brand recognition with conservative buyers. None of these three are official cross-shop rivals confirmed by Hongqi — this is a value comparison within FreshMotors' own coverage, not a guaranteed shopping list.
- Strong value proposition: up to 730 km CLTC range and 800V ultra-fast charging for a promotional starting price around $25,000
- Genuinely quick dual-motor flagship trim — 530 kW (710 hp) combined, 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds
- Well-equipped cabin tech for the price: 18-speaker Bose audio, a 17.3-inch display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8397 chip, and a reclining, massaging front passenger seat
- Export status is unconfirmed — for now this is a China-only pre-sale, so buyers outside China have no path to one yet
- Hongqi hasn't disclosed per-trim pricing, a peak DC charging power figure, or cargo capacity, so shoppers must wait for the full launch for the complete picture
The 2026 Hongqi Tiangong 07 is FAW's bid to make its Tiangong electric sub-brand a genuine value leader in China's brutally competitive mid-size EV sedan class. For a promotional starting price around $25,000 it bundles an 800V silicon-carbide platform, a 730 km CLTC range option, and a 710 hp dual-motor flagship that undercuts rivals like the ZEEKR 007 and XIAOMI SU7 on price while matching or beating them on range and charging speed. The cabin tech — Bose audio, a reclining passenger seat, LiDAR-backed driver assist — reads more premium than the price tag suggests. The catch is availability: this is a China pre-sale only, with no word yet on export, and several figures (per-trim pricing, peak DC charging power, cargo volume) are still pending Hongqi's full launch reveal. For a China-market buyer chasing range and tech per dollar, the Tiangong 07 is shaping up to be one of the stronger options in its bracket.
