HongQi's SUV Concept Debut At 2008 Beijing Auto Show

HongQi (FAW's premium car division) debuted it's new Concept V12 SUV yesterday at the 08 Beijing Autoshow in China. Earlier renderings showed a car that looked more than a bit like the Lincoln MKR concept but in real thing is nothing like it. HongQi's new SUV comes with a unique design tailored specifically for Chinese SUV lovers, leather wrapped seats and blue theme lights to lit up the interior.

The center stack is almost completely made of LCD touch panel, a feature that would be too futuristic in a production model. One noticable feature on the exterior of HongQi SUV is a roof mounted rearview camera that sends pictures of the view onto a video screen for the driver in lieu of a traditional mirror. All in all it is a huge machine from every side. You can't call it beautiful but definately a car you will like to stand next to. When launched, HongQi's V12 luxury SUV will have the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Benz GLK as its rivals.
