The Hongqi Guoya luxury sedan made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show in April this year. Fast forward to the Guangzhou Auto Show 2024, and the Hongqi brand brought the vehicle back for another showcase while also announcing its official price.
In the market closest to Vietnam, the Hongqi Guoya is offered in two variants, with prices starting from 1.4 million to 1.86 million Chinese yuan (approximately 4.9 to 6.51 billion Vietnamese dong). With this pricing, the Guoya is positioned as the flagship model of the Hongqi brand.

On the outside, the Guoya boasts many distinctive design features synonymous with the Hongqi brand. This is evident in the front grille area, which sports a large, chrome-accented grille reminiscent of a waterfall and exudes a Rolls-Royce-inspired style.
The front end of the Hongqi Guoya bears a resemblance to both Bentley and Rolls-Royce designs.
Flanking the grille are vertically oriented headlamps with a rounded design. The intricate diamond-like shape within the headlamps adds a touch of sophistication, and they are also capable of projecting information onto the road and alerting pedestrians.
