Flagship EVs Get a Power Boost and Luxury Upgrade

These aren’t just facelifts. They’re full-blown upgrades to two of Hongqi’s most popular EVs, now boasting longer driving ranges, refined interiors, and even more commanding road presence.
If you thought luxury EVs couldn’t get more decadent, Hongqi just proved otherwise.
E-HS9: Bigger Wheels, Better Sound, Longer Range
The E-HS9, Hongqi’s flagship electric SUV, now comes with a 515 km driving range—a solid leap from the previous 440 km. That’s enough juice to get you from Manila to Vigan and still have charge left for a few detours.
The new model also swaps its 21-inch rims for 22-inch sportier wheels, giving it a more aggressive stance. Inside, the audio system gets a serious upgrade: BOSE’s premium setup with 16 speakers, up from 12, for a richer, more immersive sound experience.
Whether you’re cruising through EDSA or heading out to Tagaytay, the E-HS9 now delivers more power, more comfort, and more presence.
E-QM5 Plus: Long-Range Comfort with Everyday Practicality
The E-QM5 Plus is Hongqi’s answer to the luxury EV sedan segment—and it’s not holding back.
Its 560 km range is a major upgrade from the previous 430 km, making it one of the longest-range EVs in its class. Add vented seats and cruise control, and you’ve got a sedan that’s as comfortable as it is capable.
Perfect for professionals who want a refined ride without sacrificing practicality, the E-QM5 Plus blends elegance with everyday usability.
Pricing and Availability
The E-HS9 is priced at PHP 6,480,000, while the E-QM5 Plus comes in at PHP 1,880,000.
Both models are available for test drives at Hongqi showrooms in BGC, Alabang, Manila Bay, and Quezon City.
Luxury EVs may not be for everyone—but if you’re looking to make a statement while embracing sustainability, Hongqi’s latest lineup is worth a serious look.
A Glimpse Into the Future: Hongqi HS3 PHEV
Also teased at the event was the upcoming Hongqi HS3 PHEV, a plug-in hybrid SUV that’s anything but ordinary.
It pairs a 1.5-liter turbo engine with a 168 kW electric motor, delivering 565 Nm of torque and a 0–100 km/h time of just 7.6 seconds.
With a 115 km pure electric range, over 1,400 km combined range, and 19-minute DC fast charging, it’s built for both performance and practicality.
Inside, expect a high-tech cockpit, advanced safety systems, and a spacious cabin that rivals traditional luxury SUVs.
Unlike most plug-in hybrids, the HS3 PHEV offers a fully electric driving feel, combining instant torque with whisper-quiet refinement. It’s the kind of hybrid that doesn’t feel like a compromise.
Hongqi’s Vision: Innovation Meets Elegance
“Hongqi remains committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the luxury EV space,” said Rashid Delgado, Co-CEO of Hongqi Philippines and President of EVOxTerra.
From the E-HS9’s commanding presence to the E-QM5 Plus’s long-range comfort, and the HS3 PHEV’s hybrid sophistication, Hongqi is carving out a distinct identity in the Philippine automotive scene—one that blends cutting-edge tech with timeless luxury.
