Hongqi, the premium brand of FAW, recently held the official launch ceremony for the right-hand drive (RHD) Hongqi E-HS9 and the opening of its new showroom. The event marks the official entry of this large all-electric luxury SUV into the Singapore market, establishing Singapore as the world's first RHD market for the Hongqi E-HS9. It also represents a critical step in Hongqi's strategy to deepen its presence in Southeast Asia's premium automotive market.

The launch of the RHD Hongqi E-HS9 delivers a distinctive Chinese premium electric mobility experience to Singaporean customers, while opening a new chapter for the Hongqi brand in global RHD markets.

The opening event attracted over 50 local and regional mainstream media. The Straits Times and Lianhe Zaobao both published in-depth special reports, highly affirming Hongqi's global development.

 

The RHD E-HS9 is equipped with a 120kWh high-capacity battery, delivering a range of 570 kilometers. It stands out prominently in Singapore's luxury SUV segment with three core strengths: a palace-inspired aesthetic exterior design, an executive six-seater cabin, and adaptive air suspension. The Hongqi E-HS9 was described by The Straits Times as a moving symbol of status, with a commanding presence and elegance.

The new showroom blends Eastern cultural elements with a modern luxury ambiance, integrating the "Oriental Rituals" service philosophy with local premium service standards to deliver an exceptional and distinguished experience for every Hongqi owner.

Moving forward, Hongqi will continue to cultivate the Singapore market, and accelerate coordinated development across Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. Hongqi plans to introduce at least six NEVs within the next three years, steadily building the marketing layout of the Hongqi brand in the Southeast Asian market.
