Hongqi reinforces its position as a symbol of modern Chinese luxury with the launch of the all new Guoyao 2026. This flagship SUV blends royal elegance with advanced technology, positioning itself as a serious contender against established German and Japanese rivals. Beyond delivering raw power, it excels in comfort, design, and intelligent features, redefining what elite automobiles mean in global markets, especially in the GCC region.

Exterior Elegance with Commanding Presence


The Hongqi Guoyao 2026 presents a massive silhouette that radiates prestige and authority, while preserving the brand’s signature identity with a more contemporary twist. Its bold front fascia is dominated by a vertical chrome grille that signals majesty, paired with adaptive smart LED headlights that add a modern technical edge.

Smooth flowing side lines combine strength with sophistication, highlighted by muscular wheel arches that emphasize structural confidence. At the rear, a sleek light bar stretches across the width, crowned by the classic Hongqi emblem that reinforces its luxurious character.

The model is offered in exclusive shades including Obsidian Black, Moonlight White, Flag Red, and Sapphire Blue, complemented by imposing 22 inch alloy wheels that amplify its commanding road presence.

Interior Designed for Exclusivity


The cabin of the Guoyao 2026 elevates luxury to a new level with premium materials like natural leather, polished wood and metal trims, and customizable ambient lighting offering up to 253 colors.

Buyers can choose between 4 or 6 power adjustable seats, all equipped with ventilation, heating, and massage functions. Every detail inside focuses on passenger comfort, from an integrated fragrance system to acoustic insulated windows and dual 12.3 inch screens for entertainment, navigation, and connectivity.


Key interior features include:

  • Premium sound system with 14 speakers

  • Wireless charger and USB ports in both front and rear

  • Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto

  • Four zone independent climate control

  • High resolution infotainment screen with digital instrument cluster

  • Over the air updates and 4G vehicle internet connectivity

Power Meets Smart Technology


The Guoyao 2026 is powered by a 4.0 liter twin turbocharged V8 engine developed in house, delivering 544 horsepower and 725 Nm of torque, paired with a ZF 8 speed automatic transmission.

It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 200 km/h, with a WLTC fuel consumption rating of 13.9 liters per 100 km.


Its mechanical performance is enhanced by:

  • Intelligent all wheel drive system

  • Adaptive air suspension for maximum comfort and stability

  • Strong body on frame construction

  • Optimized approach and departure angles for off road capability

Smart Safety Meets Intelligent Driving


The 2026 Guoyao elevates the luxury SUV experience with a full suite of advanced safety and driver assistance systems that rival those of top European competitors. The vehicle is equipped with:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

  • Lane Departure Warning and Active Lane Keeping Assist

  • Blind Spot Monitoring

  • Forward and Rear Collision Warning

  • Door Opening Warning (DOW)

  • Traffic Sign Recognition

  • Driver Attention Monitoring

  • Full Speed Adaptive Cruise Control

  • High definition front camera

  • Emergency Call and Rescue Service

To further enhance night driving, the front headlights feature adaptive smart lighting that adjusts to road conditions for maximum clarity and comfort.

Refined Engineering at Its Core


At the heart of Guoyao 2026 lies a technically sophisticated design philosophy. The newly developed twin turbo V8 engine reflects thoughtful engineering in torque delivery and thermal management, ensuring consistent performance across a wide RPM range.

The 8-speed ZF automatic transmission delivers smooth gear changes even under pressure, while the dynamic body structure and adaptive air suspension combine limousine level ride comfort with the confident road presence of a high performance SUV.

A Bold Contender to Global Giants


When stacked against rivals like the Mercedes GLS and BMW X7, the Guoyao 2026 offers similar mechanical output and interior tech at a noticeably more competitive price. Even when compared to ultra luxury icons like the Rolls Royce Cullinan, Guoyao comes impressively close in refinement while costing at least 25 percent less.

That balance of performance, sophistication, and value makes the Guoyao a compelling choice for executive buyers in the GCC seeking top tier luxury without overpaying for the badge.
