Let’s take a look. It’s no surprise that those who want to travel in a blanket of opulence and luxury are a bit spoiled for choice. With a market that’s often saturated with offerings from Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, and even BMW, most prospective buyers have likely never heard of Hongqi . As such, Wheelsboy recently covered the latest offering from the Chinese automaker, the H9. While the Hongqi brand has gone largely unnoticed until recently, keen readers will likely know about the L5 – previously covered by Jeremy Clarkson in an episode of The Grand Tour. Polarizing opinions aside, the vehicle struggled with quality control issues. Thankfully, the H9 appears to be largely improved in comparison to its L-series predecessor. Aside from being much less expensive, the interior is still very well appointed. While the mid-spec variant lacks facilities such as a refrigerator, infotainment screens, and massage seats, it still provides an excellent experience for rear … [Read more...] about Hongqi H9 In-Depth Video Showcases China’s S-Class Rival

Mercedes-Benz Spied Testing Super Smart Headlights On S-Class
This high-tech illumination can even project upcoming traffic signs onto the road. Mercedes-Benz revealed its Digital Light headlights in December as the firm's latest innovation in illuminating the road, and a new spy video has caught the company testing the tech on public streets. This evaluation suggests that the company is serious about bringing this cutting-edge system to showrooms. Each Digital Light headlight features a chip with over one million micromirrors. The system uses sensors to monitor what's in front of the vehicle and can then adjust the brightness from each one of the micromirrors. This gives the tech some very impressive capabilities. For example, it can detect oncoming vehicles or pedestrians and direct the light away from their eyes to prevent dazzling them.
