2327km on a Single Tank & Charge! HONGQI HS6 PHEV Sets Guinness World Record for Ultra-Long Range

In an extraordinary demonstration of efficiency and innovation, the HONGQI HS6 PHEV has officially set a Guinness World Records™ title for the “Longest distance driven by a plug-in hybrid electric SUV on a single full tank and full charge without refueling or recharging.”

Starting from Shangri-La, the HS6 PHEV travelled through Kunming, Baise, and Wuzhou, finally arriving in Guangzhou at 10:15am on November 3rd, covering an astonishing 2,327 kilometers on a full tank and full battery — with zero additional energy replenishment during the entire journey.

This performance exceeded the vehicle’s official 1650km rated combined range by over 40%, demonstrating an impressive real-world capability rarely seen in the industry.

Breakthrough Hybrid Technology Behind the Record

The HONGQI HS6 PHEV’s remarkable range capability comes from the brand-new HONGHU hybrid platform, featuring:

• 1.5T hybrid-dedicated engine

  • Maximum power 110 kW

  • Peak torque 225 Nm

  • 45.21% thermal efficiency, one of the highest in the world

  • WLTC fuel consumption only 0.4L/100km

• 95% peak electric motor efficiency (this means almost all the electricity stored in the battery is used to drive the wheels! In comparison, a typical petrol internal combustion engine (ICE) converts only 25–35% of the energy in fuel into actual motion — most fuel is wasted as heat, vibration, and friction)

Everyday Practicality: Range to End Anxiety

• Up to 248km pure electric range — ideal for city commuting, potentially one charge per week

• Plenty of range to drive from Brisbane to Melbourne without needing to refuel or recharge

• Supporting 120 kW DC fast charging, allowing the battery to go from 30% to 80% in just 25 minutes — about the time for a coffee break.

Performance & Comfort Together

• 0–100 km/h in 4.8 seconds

• Ultra-quiet cabin: only 52 dB at 60km/h in hybrid mode

Built for long-distance touring, family adventures, and luxurious comfort, the HS6 PHEV represents a significant milestone in global hybrid development.

A Big Step for Hybrid Tech, and a Win for Australian Drivers
