FAW Hongqi (pronounced “hong-chi”) is set to debut in the country after the appointing of EVOxTerra as its official Philippine distributor. Established in 1958, Hongqi is China’s most prestigious luxury passenger car brand with a long, rich, illustrious history. Its line of limousines and SUVs continues to be the vehicle of choice for use by high-ranking government officials and visiting heads of state as well as influential heads of industries, prominent business personalities, and opulent celebrities.
“We are extremely proud to bring this legendary car marque to the Philippines and let Filipinos finally experience for themselves the many reasons why Hongqi remains such an enduring international brand,” said Rashid Delgado, President of EVOxTerra, at the press conference held in TDG In.Hub in Taguig. 
Delgado added that the partnership with Hongqi is further proof of EVOxTerra’s commitment to promoting sustainability that brings forth progressive brands firmly entrenched in the future of mobility.
“We are very excited to finally enter the Philippine market and give Filipino car enthusiasts the Hongqi brand of utmost luxury, state-of-the-art design, and topnotch performance,” 
said FAW Hongqi Overseas General Manager, Mr. Wang Zuoquan.
“With the country well on its way to recovery from the pandemic, we think this is an excellent time to further expand Hongqi’s global footprint,”
enthuses Robert Shaw, EVOxTerra Vice President and General Manager.
The formal partnership between the two companies comes just a few months after Hongqi’s first appearance in the Philippines via the 10th Philippine Electric Vehicle (EV) Summit held in October last year. The event showcased the Hongqi E-HS9 electric sport-utility vehicle which boasts European-inspired styling and very plush interiors.
“Local customers are assured of the excellent after-sales support that EVOxTerra is known for. We are also inviting and looking forward to working with local partners and dealers who want to bring Hongqi to the rest of the country,” added Shaw.
