Hongqi Philippines is responding to the market demand in the country by introducing the long-range trims of their key offerings. The E-HS9 EV SUV and E-QM5 EV Sedan both receive an additional trim that gives them longer range. Hongqi also teased an upcoming plug-in hybrid SUV that might tickle your fancy.
The Hongqi E-HS9 Long Range is the new flagship model of the brand here in the Philippines. It has an increased range of 515 kilometers on a single charge, accompanied by new 22-inch rims and a 16-speaker Bose Sound System. All else like the Nappa leather seats, 2nd-row power adjustable seats, panoramic sunroof, and four-zone automatic climate control are still here. All of that comes in a package priced at P 6,480,000.
The E-HS9 Long Range comes in Quantum Silver Gray, Glamour Night Black, and Alpine White. The gray and white shades come with an option of a black or ice white roof. All colorways come with a Graphite Black interior scheme.
Sitting at the entrance to Hongqi is the E-QM5 EV sedan. This one is a bit more vanilla as it’s updated to have a longer range of 560 kilometers on a single charge. All other amenities are the same as the previous top trim. It's priced at P 1,880,000.
This one comes in three colors: Pearlescent White, Polar Night Black, and Platinum Gold.
For both vehicles, Hongqi didn’t mention the upgrades on the battery or electric motor (if any) that resulted in the longer range.
Sitting beside the E-HS9 SUV is the Hongqi HS3. It will be the first plug-in hybrid of the brand in the country as their other offerings are either full-electric or have internal combustion engines. There’s no image price yet for the HS3 but Hongqi said it will make its official debut later in the year.

Poor man's roil royce
ReplyDeletethey barely sold 30 units last year, why even bother selling luxury chinese here
ReplyDeleteSomething does not quite make sense.
DeleteIf it's true that they sold only about 30 units last year, and they can still maintain a showroom in BGC, it is possible that it could be a money laundering operation.
it has deep pocket for long game, FAW hongqi owned by china govt.
Deletepogo remnants lol
Deletepure china money operations
DeleteRental expense for a showroom in BGC is pocket change from the perspective of it's mother company FAW Group.
DeleteLocally, Hongqi is under the Transnational Diversified Group whose main business is shipping and logistics.
DeleteEVOxTerra is official distributor of Hongqi in Philippines own the BGC showroom, they also had showroom in Manila bay and Alabang.
DeleteOut of the 30 maybe most of it to owners and relatives and demo car. Free world if you aspire and work hard maybe you can achieve your dream of owning a Hongqi and tell your parents game over I'm driving a Hongqi 😀
ReplyDeleteHongqi is high end premium cars with higher price level, don't expect it will selling volume like toyota or MG,
DeleteWith 30+ unit last year is better than Bentley, Porsche or Rolls Royce in Philippines.
Hongqi cars is one of world high end cars, Hongqi E-HS9 specifications is much better than Mercedes Benz of the same class, but at much lower price.
ReplyDeleteWhile 1.9M price Hongqi E-QM5 is comparable to tesla which price is above 2 million pesos.
lets see how long it can sustain its operations here
