Regarding the meaning of the name, the letter "G" stands for the backbone of the national car, symbolizing the protection of the long journey; the first digit "9" indicates the vehicle's top-tier flagship positioning, reflecting premium craftsmanship and exclusivity; the digit "1" represents first-class product performance and an ultimate driving experience; the final "9" symbolizes all-around thoughtful service, implying long-term companionship with car owners and accompanying them along the way, building a professional off-road vehicle with the character of a national car.

In terms of exterior design, the Hongqi G919 adopts the industry's classic rugged box-shaped body design, offering extremely high brand recognition. The front features rectangular LED headlight clusters and a vertical closed grille, equipped with a front bumper and exposed tow hooks. The rear is fitted with a spare tire, creating a rugged and domineering overall line, exuding a bold off-road aesthetic. A lidar module is integrated at the front of the roof. It is reported that the new car will be equipped with Huawei's Qianshun ADS advanced intelligent driving assistance system, supporting highway and urban navigation-assisted driving, with comprehensive and excellent intelligent performance.

Power and performance are the core highlights of this new vehicle. It is equipped with an extended-range hybrid system consisting of a 2.0-liter turbocharged range extender and four motors. The combined maximum power reaches up to 620 kilowatts, with a peak torque of 1320 Newton-meters, delivering extremely powerful output.
