Confirmed facts
These points are supported by attributable manufacturer or corporate source material.
Established European identity
Hongqi identifies the E-HS9 as its full-size electric SUV. Hedin Automotive in the Netherlands provides model, test-drive and aftersales information for it.
Independent safety assessment
Euro NCAP awarded the E-HS9 five stars in its 2025 assessment. Check the assessment's applicability and safety equipment against any eventual UK version; the result is not a UK launch announcement.
Provisional information
Manufacturer targets and early specifications may change. Check the final UK version before comparing costs or capability.
European seating reference
Hedin describes six- and seven-seat versions in the Netherlands. These layouts are useful research references, not confirmed UK choices.
Right-hand-drive development
Reuters reported in April 2026 that a right-hand-drive E-HS9 was part of Hongqi's Southeast Asian launch programme. This does not establish UK supply.
What is not confirmed yet?
- UK order opening, right-hand-drive UK allocation and first customer deliveries
- UK list and on-the-road prices, P11D values, insurance groups and employer-provider quotations
- Final UK grades, seating, battery usable capacity, certified range, charging and option combinations
- UK warranty, roadside assistance, servicing, repair capacity and parts support
How should you use this information?
Consider your replacement date, everyday journeys, and the choices your employer’s programme supports.
Test the seats you will actually use
For a large family car, try third-row access with child seats installed and check luggage room with every occupied seat upright. Six seats and seven seats can suit different journeys; a headline maximum is not enough.
Check parking and charging access
Measure your driveway, garage and usual parking bays with space for mirrors and open doors. Include the charging cable position and passengers getting out when assessing a large SUV.
Check the UK support package
Before adding Hongqi to an employer programme, establish the appointed UK distributor, local servicing and accident repair, parts supply, replacement transport and warranty administration. We can help employers assess those arrangements alongside provider acceptance and a dated quotation.
