Frequently asked questions
What are the Hongqi E-HS9 and Zeekr 7X like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 241 miles for the Hongqi E-HS9 and 249 miles for the Zeekr 7X - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 30 minutes in the Hongqi E-HS9 and 13 in the Zeekr 7X, so the Zeekr 7X loses less time at each stop.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Hongqi E-HS9 or the Zeekr 7X?
The Zeekr 7X is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 80 mm narrower than the Hongqi E-HS9. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 470 mm of total clearance for the Zeekr 7X and about 390 mm of total clearance for the Hongqi E-HS9.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Hongqi E-HS9 or the Zeekr 7X?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Hongqi E-HS9 and 90% for the Zeekr 7X. That gives the Zeekr 7X a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Zeekr 7X's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Hongqi E-HS9's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use.
