The 2024 Beijing Auto Show is about to officially open. The day before the launch, we came to Ruifeng Booth in E3 Hall to explore the upcoming Ruifeng RF8 (Configuration |Inquiry) Hongmeng Edition. As early as January this year, Ruifeng RF8 had been launched, but at that time, only the Smart Leaf model was launched, and the model equipped with Hongmeng cockpit was only pre-sale. Before this car is officially launched, we also want to see how it performs in advance.

In terms of appearance, Ruifeng RF8 Hongmeng Edition still adopts the existing appearance design, and will also bring the shapes of dragon scale, volley, green cloud and glittering dragon scale for consumers to choose. The difference between these models is mainly reflected in the position of the air intake grille. Personally, I think the Dragon Scale version is a very good design.

The design of the light group is mainly practical, and there is not too much cool shape, but the through light belt is used to connect the headlights on both sides in series, and the lighting effect is very good.

In terms of body dimensions, the length, width and height of Ruifeng RF8 Hongmeng version are respectively 5215x1895x1830mm, and the wheelbase is 3100mm, positioning medium and large MPVs. The whole side is dignified and grand, without too many lines, which is also very consistent with the original design intention of MPV.

The electric side sliding door, the second row and the third row of privacy glass are also fully equipped, and a lot of chrome decorative strips are used on the side of the car body, which increases the sense of hierarchy as well as the luxury of the vehicle. The 18 inch low drag hub shape and the tandem door handle also reduce the drag coefficient to a certain extent.

The design of the rear part also retains the shape of the existing models, including the through tail lamp set, electric tailgate, etc. At the same time, the upper and lower chrome plated decorations are added to the rear part, which also makes the rear more layered. In terms of color matching, the new car will continue to use the existing five colors.

The change of interior decoration is mainly reflected in the central control screen. The upcoming Ruifeng RF8 Hongmeng version will use two independent screens. Compared with the dual 12.3-inch smart joint screen, the Hongmeng version will be more atmospheric and fashionable.

The central control screen adopts a 15.6-inch suspended design, which will be equipped with the HarmonyOS 4.0 system. It is also the first medium and large MPV equipped with Huawei's mobile phone system, which not only has faster processing speed, but also has higher scalability, including providing more adaptive APPs, and also being able to better connect with mobile phones, so as to improve technological attributes and convenience.

In addition, Hongmeng system can also cover 18 application categories such as smart home, sports health, audio and video entertainment, education, children, office, and smart travel, which are also unavailable in traditional car engine systems. The new car will also provide a 23.5-inch large AR-HUD head up display, which can visually see the driving information of the vehicle and improve more safety protection.

In fact, other configurations in the car are consistent with the models currently on sale, including hidden air vents, four-spoke multi-function steering wheel, air conditioning adjustment panel, crystal bumper, double-layer central channel, etc., which are very practical.

As an MPV model, in addition to the comfortable sitting posture of the front seats, the performance of the second row seats must be more concerned by consumers. The two rows of seats are equipped with seat heating, ventilation, waist adjustment, leg support adjustment and other functions. The distance between the channels between the two seats is relatively large, and it is easy to pass an adult. In addition, the rear independent air conditioning control panel can control the rear air conditioning, seats, sunroof blind and other functions.

In terms of power, Ruifeng RF8 Hongmeng version will continue to be equipped with the combination of 1.5T+3DHT, which can achieve three engines and four modes of electric drive, including intelligent mode, extended range mode, pure electric mode, and performance mode. The system's comprehensive maximum power is 310kW, the comprehensive maximum torque is 745N · m, the zero hundred acceleration time is 7.3s, the maximum pure electric endurance mileage can reach 252km, and the comprehensive endurance is 1250km.

Conclusion: The Ruifeng RF8 Hongmeng version model to be launched this time has not changed much in design and power. However, as the first medium and large MPV equipped with Hongmeng cockpit, it is also a pioneer in this field. If you are interested in this car, or can't put down the Hongmeng system, you may pay attention to the launch conference of Ruifeng RF8 Hongmeng model on April 25.
