The Hongqi E-HS9 is an electric luxury SUV and is being touted as a Chinese Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

The car design was inspired by Lincoln and Rolls-Royce, featuring impressive LED light shows at the front. The car offers spacious and comfortable rear seats with a large panoramic sunroof, multiple power outlets, and three high-tech interior screens with 16.2-inch displays.

It features adjustable cupholders, luxurious wood paneling, and advanced technology; however, plastic parts are a giveaway for its $114,000 price tag.

With 543 horsepower and a 0-100km/h time of five seconds, it’s an EV built more for cruising than high-speed performance.
