Hongqi launches two new EVs and a fresh PH showroom

Some EVs are made for saving gas, some are made to fly down highways. Hongqi’s EH7 and EHS7 are built to do both.

Hongqi brings in two new EVs after opening its new Manila Bay dealership.

Something new has officially joined the EV world. Hongqi has just opened a new showroom at the Four E-Com Center in the SM Mall of Asia complex. To go with this launch, the brand also introduced two electric vehicles to the local market, the EH7 sedan and the EHS7 SUV, bringing the total number of Hongqi models in the country to eight.

As reported by Top Gear Philippines, both the EH7 and EHS7 come in two variants: Executive and Flagship. The EH7 Executive is a mid-size electric sedan powered by an 85 kWh battery with a two-wheel drive system. It makes around 340 hp and 450 Nm of torque, and can go from zero to 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. Meanwhile, the EH7 Flagship uses a bigger 111kWh battery with four-wheel drive, pushing out 610 hp and 756 Nm of torque, cutting the zero to 100 km/h run down to 3.5 seconds.

The EH7 Executive can cover up to 510km on a full charge, while the Flagship version can reach up to 650km. Both offer strong performance and long range, making them good options for anyone looking for a powerful and quiet drive. The EHS7 SUV has the same battery setups as the sedan, but in a bigger and heavier body, which affects speed and range slightly. The EHS7 Executive still puts out the same power but is a little slower, doing the zero to 100 km/h sprint in 6.5 seconds, with a range of up to 475km. The Flagship SUV can hit 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and travel up to 540 km on a full charge.

While Hongqi is known for its executive-style second rows, these new models seem more driver-focused. With all that speed and control, these EVs look like they’re made for those who want to be behind the wheel themselves, not just relaxing in the back. With a new location in Manila Bay and a stronger lineup that now includes high-performance EVs, Hongqi is clearly growing its reach in the Philippines. Drivers now have more choices if they’re looking for something powerful, premium, and all-electric.
