Hongqi HS3 2026 Price in UAE

The HS3 is Hongqi's compact SUV and the cheapest car the brand sells here — 4,655 mm, five seats, and a turbocharged 1.5 as standard. It competes in the most crowded class on the market, which is why the specification is generous at the price.

How much does the Hongqi HS3 cost in the UAE?

Four 2026 variants, but really two cars sold in two colour schemes. AED 99,900 buys the 1.5T Luxury; AED 122,900 takes the 2.0T 4WD Flagship Two Tone, and the two-tone paint accounts for a small part of the difference each time. The meaningful jump is from the 1.5 L front-driven car to the 2.0-litre four-wheel-drive one.

Which HS3 trim is the one to buy?

The 1.5T Luxury, unless you have a specific reason to want four-wheel drive. Its 166 BHP is ample for a car this size, it is the cheapest to insure and to fuel, and the equipment gap to the Flagship is narrower than the price gap. The 4WD cars make sense for regular soft-sand use, not for the school run.

Hongqi HS3 or Changan CS35 Plus?

The HS3 is the more polished object — better cabin materials and a more premium look for money that buys a plainer car elsewhere, and the badge carries more weight than its sales volume suggests. The Changan CS35 Plus is the cheaper way into the same class and the more established name locally, which makes it the easier car to service and to sell on.

What does a Hongqi HS3 cost to run in the UAE?

Small-SUV running costs, with one caveat worth pricing before you buy. Ask what a service costs at each interval and whether that price is fixed, since a young brand's schedule cannot yet be checked against a decade of owners. Confirm too that the warranty covers the turbocharger explicitly, and that it survives a change of owner.

Does the HS3 hold its value?

A little better than its peers — about 55% after five years against roughly 52% for Chinese-badged cars here, and around 69% at three years. That is the small-crossover effect: cheap cars have less value to lose and steady demand underneath them. It also means the discount on a used one is modest, so the deciding factor is the state of the specific car rather than its age, and the inspection report is what settles that.

Compare it back to back with the larger Hongqi HS5 before deciding — the step up in size is bigger than the step up in price. And keep the used Hongqis listed now in view — the small SUV is not the only way into the brand.
