The stretched four-door armored presidential car has been seen in the midst of at least five escort vehicles, including a Chinese-built GAC Trumpchi GA8 pilot cars as well as Genesis and BMW sedans.

Distinct features on N701 includes a large chrome radiator grille and an “illuminating” thin red Hongqi’s flag logo that starts from the middle of the bonnet to the grille. These features are clearly meant to evoke high-end luxury cars such as Rolls-Royces and Bentleys.
