Hongqi EV models

Hongqi is a Chinese car brand that belongs to the state-owned FAW Group. The name means Red Flag and it is a symbol of the Communist Party of China. Hongqi was founded in 1958 and is known for making luxury cars for the Chinese government and elites.

Hongqi entered the electric car market in 2018 with the launch of its first EV model, the E-HS3, a compact crossover SUV. In 2019, it introduced the E-HS5, a mid-size crossover SUV, and the E-HS9, a full-size luxury SUV. The E-HS9 is designed by former Rolls-Royce designer Giles Taylor and has a range of up to 515 km (WLTP) with a 120 kWh battery pack.

Hongqi also has plans to launch more electric models in the future, such as the E-QM5, a luxury sedan, and the E-HS7, a mid-size SUV. Hongqi aims to become a global leader in the premium electric car segment and to compete with brands like Tesla, Mercedes-Benz and Audi.

Hongqi has expanded into Europe since 2020, starting with Norway as its first overseas market. The company has delivered its E-HS9 SUV to customers in Norway since January 2021 and has received positive feedback from the local media and consumers. Hongqi plans to launch its E-HS9 in other European countries as well, such as Germany, France and Italy.
