The 2026 Hongqi HS3 is a compact five-seat SUV from China's most storied state brand — positioned as an attainable entry point into the Hongqi range without sacrificing the upmarket styling the brand is known for. Prices start from AED 99,900, rising to AED 122,900 for the range-topping trim.
The HS3 pairs a 1.5 L turbocharged petrol engine producing 166 BHP with an Automatic gearbox — a setup tuned for composed urban driving rather than outright performance. The entry 1.5T Luxury trim covers the essentials with a well-appointed cabin, a large touchscreen infotainment system, and a level of interior finish that punches above its price point. Stepping up to the 2.0T 4WD Flagship Two Tone adds all-wheel drive, a contrasting two-tone exterior finish, and upgraded equipment befitting a range-topper — worthwhile for buyers who want AWD traction or simply the most complete package.
Pros: the Hongqi badge carries genuine prestige heritage rarely found at this price — the cabin presentation feels noticeably more premium than similarly priced Chinese rivals. The five-seat layout offers practical everyday space, and the Automatic gearbox suits stop-start city traffic well. Cons: Hongqi's UAE dealer network is still developing, which could make servicing less convenient than established brands. Fuel consumption figures are not published, making running-cost comparisons harder to pin down. Resale values for the brand in the UAE remain unproven, which adds some uncertainty for buyers thinking ahead.
Hongqi is a relatively new entrant to the UAE market and resale data for the HS3 is not yet established — buyers should factor this uncertainty into their total cost of ownership calculation, particularly against rivals with more traceable residual values.
Buyers cross-shopping the HS3 typically also consider the Chery Tiggo 3, JAC S3, and Changan CS35 Plus — all compact Chinese SUVs in a similar price bracket targeting value-conscious buyers who want modern features at an accessible entry point. The HS3 differentiates itself through premium brand positioning and interior quality, while those rivals may offer broader service network coverage.
