Hongqi Tiangong 08 2026 670 Max Vehicle Profile: 800V Fast-Charge Midsize Luxury Electric SUV with 3000mm Wheelbase

1. Verdict: Three Highlights and Three Caveats

Highlights

• 800V supercharging, 670km range, and 5.8-second acceleration. The Hongqi Tiangong 08 2026 670 Max adopts a full 800V high-voltage platform, charging from 10% to 80% in only about 12 minutes with a maximum fast-charge power of 350kW; its CLTC electric range is 670km, with a single-motor rear-drive maximum power of 257kW (350Ps) and an official 0-100km/h time of just 5.8 seconds, balancing long range and strong power.
• 3000mm ultra-long wheelbase with an all-aluminum chassis. Measuring 4925×1950×1680mm with a 3000mm wheelbase, among the largest in this comparison, the chassis uses a double-wishbone front and multi-link rear all-aluminum suspension, paired with 150mm minimum ground clearance for a solid, substantial driving feel.
• Above-class space and luxury equipment. Rear space is generous, with a 643-1998L trunk that can be converted into a "mobile bedroom"; it features soft-close electric doors, a hands-free tailgate, a head-up display (HUD), front 50W wireless charging, an NAPPA-grade luxury cabin, and numerous comfort features, with standout luxury.

Caveats

• Single-motor rear-wheel drive with no 4WD option. The 670 Max uses a single-motor rear-wheel-drive layout; while powerful, it lacks a 4WD option, so its traction and recovery in rain, snow, slippery conditions, and light off-roading trail 4WD rivals.
• Fast charging, but power trails some rivals. This version's maximum fast-charge power is 350kW, completing 10%-80% in 12 minutes; while already industry-leading, it still trails the Ti7 EV's 5-minute flash charge and the Nissan NX8's 463kW maximum power in recharging speed.
• Huge body, larger turning radius and parking burden. At 4925mm long and 1950mm wide, it is a standard mid-large SUV; parking in narrow streets, older neighborhoods, or multi-level garages is somewhat challenging, and its everyday city agility trails midsize SUVs.

2. Model Overview

The Hongqi Tiangong 08 is a flagship product from China FAW's Hongqi for the mid-large pure-electric SUV market, positioned as a representative of "Chinese-style luxury pure-electric SUV" and the flagship of the brand's "Tiangong" new-energy family.

Body-side lines are clean and smooth with hidden electric door handles, and the through taillights echo the front L-shaped lights.

In terms of positioning, the Tiangong 08 targets mid-to-high-end family users who value space, luxury, and technology, competing mainly with domestic pure-electric SUVs such as the IM LS6, Luxeed R7, and Xpeng G9, plus joint-venture models like the VW ID.6. The 2026 670 Max is the volume main-seller of the lineup, delivering balanced product strength with 800V fast charging, 670km range, and 5.8-second acceleration.

Technically, the Tiangong 08 is built on Hongqi's Tiangong pure-electric platform and Jiuzhang intelligent platform, equipped with ultra-low-temperature cells and up to a 111kWh large battery, with 85kWh for this version. Hongqi claims energy retention of 93% even at -10°C, effectively easing winter range anxiety. The chassis uses an all-aluminum combination of a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, with some trims adding air suspension and rear-wheel steering.

With a 3000mm wheelbase, the Tiangong 08 offers excellent front and rear space, one of the most prominent in this comparison. Its trunk volume of 643-1998L, combined with external discharge capability, easily handles long-distance travel and outdoor camping.

Incentive Policies

As a pure-electric vehicle, the Hongqi Tiangong 08 qualifies for new-energy purchase subsidies and tax reductions in most markets. Below is a reference overview of major markets (Source: IEA Global EV Policy Explorer):

4. Ownership Costs and Service

Warranty policy: Hongqi offers the Tiangong 08 a 4-year or 100,000km vehicle warranty, with first owners able to enjoy a lifetime warranty on the three-electric system when conditions are met, a relatively high level among domestic brands. Specific terms are subject to local dealers and official policy.

Maintenance costs: Pure EVs eliminate routine combustion-vehicle items such as oil, oil filter, and spark plugs; routine maintenance focuses on inspecting the three-electric system and replacing the cabin filter, brake fluid, and gear oil, with both per-service cost and frequency significantly lower than combustion vehicles. Estimated over 60,000km, the overall upkeep of a pure EV is clearly lower than a comparable combustion SUV.

Real ownership cost analysis: Assuming 15,000km of annual driving and 14.3kWh per 100km, annual electricity use is about 2,145kWh. At a home-charger price of about 0.5-0.6 RMB/kWh, annual charging cost is about 1,070-1,290 RMB; at a public fast charger of about 1.2-1.5 RMB/kWh, it is about 2,570-3,220 RMB. Compared with combustion vehicles, the energy-cost advantage of a pure EV is clear. Combined with 800V supercharging, refueling efficiency is high and long-distance anxiety is low.

Charging cost note: The global average residential electricity price published by Global Petrol Prices is approximately 0.15–0.16 USD/kWh, about 1.1 RMB/kWh. The Tiangong 08 670 Max's 85kWh battery supports 800V high-voltage fast charging with a maximum power of 350kW, going from 10% to 80% in only about 12 minutes, one of the more efficient in the 200,000 RMB mid-large pure-electric SUV segment.

5. Competitor Comparison
