Hongqi E-HS9 vs Tesla Model X

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 241 miles for the Hongqi E-HS9 and 171 miles for the Tesla Model X - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Hongqi E-HS9 goes roughly 70 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 30 minutes in the Hongqi E-HS9 and 40 in the Tesla Model X, so the Hongqi E-HS9 loses less time at each stop. That makes the Hongqi E-HS9 the stronger long-distance car.

The two are within 11 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 401 mm of total clearance for the Tesla Model X and about 390 mm of total clearance for the Hongqi E-HS9.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Hongqi E-HS9 and 84% for the Tesla Model X. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
