Hongqi came to the compact SUV class late, and the HS3 reflects that: a 4,655 mm five-seater with a turbocharged engine, generous equipment and pricing set to win buyers away from names they already know. It is the least expensive car the brand offers in Saudi Arabia.
Look at the larger Hongqi HS5 too before you commit to the small one. The used Hongqis listed now are worth checking first if a slightly older car suits the budget better.
How much does the Hongqi HS3 cost in Saudi Arabia?
Four 2026 variants that resolve into two decisions. SAR 108,800 buys the 1.5T Luxury, SAR 125,290 the 2.0T 4WD Flagship Two Tone, and in each pair the higher figure is the two-tone paint finish. The real division is between the 1.5 L front-driven car and the 2.0-litre four-wheel-drive one above it.
Which HS3 trim is the one to buy?
The front-driven 1.5T, for most buyers. It has 169 bhp, which is more than a car of this size and weight needs in daily use, and it costs less to insure and to fuel than the 4WD car. Choose the Flagship only if you drive off tarmac often enough that the extra traction earns the difference back.
Hongqi HS3 or Changan CS35 Plus?
The HS3 feels like the more expensive car from the driver's seat — better trimmed, more solidly finished, and carrying a badge with genuine prestige behind it in its home market. The Changan CS35 Plus undercuts it and has been on sale here longer, so there are more workshops that have worked on one and more used examples changing hands to anchor its value.
What does a Hongqi HS3 cost to run in Saudi Arabia?
Cheap to fuel, cheap to insure, and the unknown is servicing rather than either of those. Get the interval in kilometres and a fixed price for the first three visits, ask how long a common part takes to arrive if it is not on the shelf, and establish where you would take the car for warranty work in the city where you actually live.
What is an HS3 worth after five years?
More than most of its rivals. The modelling puts it at about 66% of its price after five years, against roughly 52% for Chinese brands here, and about 78% at three years where the group manages nearer 67%. Small, cheap crossovers hold on well because the replacement cost stays low. The practical implication is that buying used saves less than the badge suggests, and that condition — tyres, brakes, service stamps — moves the price on a given car.
