According to the plan, the car will be unveiled this year and the full range of Hengchi products will go into full-scale production from 2021 onwards.

The new car may be positioned as a mid-size SUV, with a simple front-end design, slender headlights, a downcast Y-shape in the foglight area below, a gently depressed roof and a rising waistline similar to the Range Rover Evoque.

As an electric car, the Hengchi 1 has longer front and rear overhangs. Its C-pillar rear trim is larger and the window area is smaller, but the specific proportions will only be known after the actual car comes out.

It is worth mentioning that one of the main designers of the new car is Selipanov, who has designed the Bugatti Vision GT, Lamborghini Huracan, Ferrari 612 GTO and others.
