The interior of the E-HS3 departs from the luxurious approach of its siblings, the HS5 and HS7, opting instead for a tech-centric yet elegant design. Highlights include:
The E-HS3, equipped with a 52.5 kWh battery, promises a range of up to 407 kilometers. It supports 100 kW DC fast-charging, which can boost the battery from 30% to 80% in just 15 minutes. The vehicle's combined energy consumption, according to NEDC data, stands at 13.6 kWh/100 km.
Since its introduction in February 2019, the E-HS3 has competed with vehicles like the MG ZS EV, SERES 3, and Kona Electric. The E-HS3's expansion into markets like Europe, the Middle East, and Turkey further signifies its global appeal.
Initially released in early 2019, the Hongqi E-HS3 continues to expand its market reach, with plans to enter additional international markets in the coming years.
