The Hongqi (Hongqi) car brand from China is now well-known in Vietnam. The brand currently distributes 2 models in Vietnam, which are H9 and E-HS9. Recently, another Hongqi car was introduced in Vietnam, which is HS5.
In the Vietnamese market, the Hongqi HS5 has 3 versions: Basic, Comfortable, and Flagship. The prices of these 3 versions are 780 million, 820 million, and 870 million Vietnamese dong respectively. Therefore, although this model is positioned in the mid-size SUV segment, its price is equivalent to that of C-segment SUVs such as the Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-5, and Ford Territory.
