Hongqi Indonesia Launch: E-HS9 Debuts With Indomobil Group

Hongqi Enters the Indonesian Market

Hongqi has officially entered the Indonesian market through a partnership with Indomobil Group, marking a new step in the Chinese automaker’s Southeast Asian expansion. The market entry was announced on August 18, 2026, with the company introducing the E-HS9 as its first model for Indonesian consumers. The partnership gives Hongqi an established local automotive group through which it can introduce its brand and products to the Indonesian market. The move also demonstrates Hongqi’s broader focus on expanding its international presence across Southeast Asia, where demand for electrified vehicles is developing alongside established automotive markets.

Hongqi E-HS9 Becomes First Indonesian Model

The E-HS9 serves as Hongqi’s flagship model in the company’s Indonesian launch and is positioned as a full-size electric SUV. The vehicle is equipped with dual electric motors, providing an all-electric powertrain configuration suited to the premium SUV segment. As the first model introduced by Hongqi in the country, the E-HS9 will play an important role in establishing the brand’s identity among Indonesian consumers. Its flagship positioning also gives Hongqi an opportunity to introduce its premium electric-vehicle proposition while building awareness of its broader product portfolio in the market.

Partnership Supports Southeast Asian Expansion

Hongqi said Indonesia forms part of its wider Southeast Asian expansion strategy, while Indomobil Group said the partnership is intended to introduce the Hongqi brand to Indonesian consumers. The collaboration combines Hongqi’s vehicle portfolio with Indomobil’s established presence in the Indonesian automotive market. The launch therefore represents more than the introduction of a single electric SUV, as it provides Hongqi with a local platform for developing its brand presence. The E-HS9 is expected to serve as the initial product through which Indonesian customers become familiar with Hongqi’s premium electric-vehicle offering.
