E-QM5 

Hongqi recently launched its upgraded E-HS9 and E-QM5 Plus models as the latest additions to the luxury marque’s Philippine offerings. The launch event, held this afternoon at the TDG In.Hub Atrium in Taguig, showcased the E-HS9 and E-QM5 Plus as revamped versions of two of Hongqi’s top-of-the-line models, providing improved driving ranges, while maintaining Hongqi’s trademark elegance.

The E-HS9 and E-QM5 Plus models are enhanced versions of the current E-HS9 and E-QM5, already two of the most popular models of Hongqi in the Philippine market. These two previous models were already renowned for their sublime mix of sophisticated design and high-end performance capabilities. Now, with the rollout of the E-HS9 and E-QM5 Plus, Hongqi continues to carry the legacy of these older models through the improved and upgraded versions.

The most significant upgrades in the E-HS9 and E-QM5 Plus take the form of their boosted single-charge driving ranges. The enhanced E-HS9 now has a driving range of 515 kilometers on a single charge - a vast improvement from the E-HS9’s driving range of 440 kilometers per single charge. Similarly, the E-QM5 Plus improves the 430 kilometer single-charge driving range to 560 kilometers, ensuring drivers can take on longer road trips with confidence. 

In addition, the E-HS9 will be moving from 21-inch rims to a larger and sportier default of 22-inch rims, making its presence on the road even more dominant and commanding. The E-HS9 now boasts a premium audio system crafted by the iconic soundmaster BOSE, upgraded from 12 to 16 speakers to deliver an even more immersive and refined listening experience. The E-QM5 Plus, for its part, now comes with vented seats and cruise control to further enhance the comfort of driver and passengers, further refining Hongqi’s trademark luxury experience. 

“As we roll out these new flagship vehicles, Hongqi remains committed to its goal of pushing the boundaries of innovation in the luxury electric vehicle sphere,” said Rashid Delgado, Hongqi Philippines Co-CEO, and TDG President of EvoXTerra. "We are dedicated to ensuring that every model Hongqi releases delivers the most advanced EV technology to date, wrapped inside a model of pure decadence."

E-HS9

The reveal of the E-HS9 and E-QM5 Plus follows a series of decisive successes for Hongqi, with their other recently released models - the E-H7 and E-HS7 receiving rave reviews from Filipino auto enthusiasts. The E-HS9 Flagship will be sold at PHP6,480,000; while the E-QM5 Plus will be sold at PHP1,880,000. As Hongqi continues to firmly establish its presence in the Philippines, the E-HS9 and E-QM5 Plus make for formidable additions to the brand’s lineup. 

In addition to the updated E-HS9 and E-QM5 Plus models, the event also offered a first look at the upcoming Hongqi HS3 PHEV, a stylish plug-in hybrid SUV that pairs a 1.5-liter turbo engine with a 168 kW electric motor for 565 Nm of torque and 0–100 km/h in just 7.6 seconds. With up to 115 km pure electric range (CLTC), over 1,400 km combined range, rapid 19-minute DC fast charging, and a 3.3 kW external power supply function, it delivers both performance and practicality. Inside, a high-tech cockpit, advanced safety systems, and a spacious cabin complete the package. Distinguishing itself from conventional plug-in hybrids, the Hongqi HS3 PHEV delivers a fully electric driving feel—combining instant power, exceptional acoustic refinement, and sophisticated ride. With its seamless blend of innovation, efficiency, and luxury, the Hongqi’s HS3 PHEV is set to be one of the most anticipated arrivals in the Philippine automotive industry.
