The two large limousines used by Xi Jinping were produced by Hongqi, and the tires also used domestic suppliers.

During his visit to Vietnam on December 12-13, Mr. Tap used two N701 limousines produced by domestic carmaker Hongqi, a subsidiary of state-owned FAW (First Automobile Works). In the photo, the cars are at Noi Bai airport on the morning of December 12.
The limousine carrying the Chinese leader has a modern design, a large square grille with vertical bars, a style that has many similarities with the British luxury brand Rolls-Royce. Photo: Ngoc Thanh

The remaining one did not fly the flags of either country.
Information about the technical specifications of the sedan is almost not disclosed. However, when standing next to other cars, the N701 clearly shows the size of a large sedan with a length of 6 m. The ribs from front to back along the body highlight the long car, the long hood. Photo: Luong Dung

The square headlights also have a Rolls-Royce-like feel, but the design of the inner lights has its own nuances. Next to the headlights is a place to put the flag. A highlight on many Hongqi cars is the red flag embossed on the hood and on both front sides, above the wheel arches. Photo: Ngoc Thanh

Both sides of the car, close to the front fenders, have red flags. The large, bright rims contrast with the body of the car.
The limousine uses Linglong tires, a domestic brand with the size 275/30R21LT. Using LT (light truck) tires for light trucks means the weight of the vehicle is quite large compared to normal commercial sedans. Photo: Ngoc Thanh

The taillights have a similar style, with two handwritten characters for the rear of the car in the middle. According to Carnewschina , the N701 may use a V6 engine, with a capacity of about 300 horsepower. Photo: Ngoc Thanh

According to world media, the body and glass may be bulletproof - a common feature of many cars for heads of state. Hongqi will only produce 50 N701s in the next 10 years. Photo: Ngoc Thanh
