The top-trim model features a 329 hp (245 kW; 334 PS) motor for the rear axle, with a combined power of 544 hp (406 kW; 552 PS). According to specifications, top of the range model accelerates 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) within 5 seconds.[4]

Design of Hongqi E-HS9 has generally been well received and often compared to Rolls-Royce Cullinan by the automotive press.[13][14] Both cars were designed by Giles Taylor.[15]
Right-Hand Drive
The facelifted Hongqi E-HS9 was introduced to right-hand-drive (RHD) markets in 2026 as part of Hongqi's global expansion strategy. Compared with the original model, the updated E-HS9 features a redesigned interior with revised ergonomic elements, a retuned air suspension system, and an updated battery pack supplied by CATL.[16]
Singapore became the first right-hand-drive market to launch the facelifted E-HS9. The model made its public debut at the Singapore Motorshow 2026 through distributor Eurokars Group before customer deliveries commenced later that year.[17][18]
The Singapore launch formed part of FAW Hongqi's broader overseas expansion into right-hand-drive markets. At Auto Shanghai 2026, the company announced plans to introduce the E-HS9 and other models to Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Hong Kong, with Australia, Malaysia and the United Kingdom identified as subsequent expansion markets.[19]
Following its launch in Singapore, the facelifted E-HS9 was introduced in Thailand in June 2026 through distributor Metro Group, marking Hongqi's entry into the Thai premium electric vehicle market.[20]
