Hongqi Singapore Market Entry via Eurokars Elite
The brand will be represented locally by Eurokars Elite, a subsidiary of Eurokars Group, reinforcing Hongqi’s intent to position itself firmly within Singapore’s high-end automotive landscape. This partnership leverages Eurokars Elite’s experience in managing premium marques and customer-centric retail operations.
E-HS9 Electric SUV Debut at Singapore Motorshow
As part of the Hongqi Singapore market entry strategy, the automaker will showcase its flagship E-HS9 electric SUV at Singapore Motorshow 2026, scheduled from January 8 to 11 at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre. The E-HS9 represents Hongqi’s design-led, technology-focused approach to premium electric mobility.
Strategic Importance of Singapore for Hongqi
Singapore is expected to become Hongqi’s first right-hand drive market in the ASEAN region, subject to launch sequencing in Indonesia by Indomobil Group. Currently, Hongqi operates only in left-hand drive ASEAN markets, including Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
By entering Singapore, Hongqi strengthens its regional footprint while testing demand in one of Asia’s most competitive and electrification-focused automotive markets, setting the stage for broader right-hand drive expansion across Southeast Asia.
