Hongqi coming to Singapore via Eurokars Group – E-HS9 to debut at Singapore Motorshow 2026 in January

Yup, Chinese luxury car brand Hongqi is officially coming to Singapore via Eurokars Group subsidiary Eurokars Elite (agreement signed in June), and the E-HS9, which will be its opening model there, will be shown at the Singapore Motorshow 2026 from January 8 to 11.

Singapore could become Hongqi’s first right-hand drive ASEAN market, if Indonesia’s Indomobil Group doesn’t launch first. The brand is already in Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines – all left-hand drive markets.

The imposing Range Rover-sized leviathan is set to be launched in the island nation in 2026 – the showroom is at 19 Leng Kee Road. According to Singapore’s Straits Times, an electric sedan and two mid-sized SUVs are planned next, and Hongqi won’t limit itself to EVs in the republic.

The E-HS9 is 5,209 mm long, 2,010 mm wide and 1,731 mm tall, with a 3,110 mm wheelbase. It’s a two-motor EV (218 PS/300 Nm on each axle) that can be had with up to seven seats. The front motor is always a 218 PS/300 Nm unit, but the rear motor can develop either 218 PS/300 Nm or 333 PS/450 Nm.

Globally, battery options are 84, 99 and 120 kWh, yielding WLTP ranges between 380 and 515 km. Wheels are either 21 or 22 inches. There are versions with air suspension, matrix LED headlamps, up to 16 speakers, up to eight airbags including rear side airbags, and intelligent dampers. Full ADAS is standard, of course.

The Hongqi Guoli (née L5) recently became the single most expensive Chinese export at RMB11 million (RM6.3 million) – and it was a used unit. Closer to home, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, took delivery of his L5 last year, becoming the world’s first owner.
