What we know about Hongqi coming to Oshawa
Rollout plan: Hongqi's Canadian entry is expected to begin in late 2026 to early 2027, prioritising high-EV-adoption metros first. Oshawa sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros. Ontario is part of the first-wave launch region, which shapes when the E-HS9 is likely to be orderable locally.
Certification & import status: Before any sale, the Hongqi E-HS9 must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). New Chinese-made EVs have also faced a 100% import surtax, which directly affects launch timing and pricing. For the current state of play, read our 2026 Chinese EV tariff guide.
Expected Oshawa pricing: Estimated at $90,000 CAD with no provincial rebate currently available in Ontario. See the full Hongqi E-HS9 price breakdown for Oshawa.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy the Hongqi E-HS9 in Oshawa right now?

When is the Hongqi E-HS9 release date in Oshawa?
Oshawa falls into the first wave (secondary) of the expected Canadian rollout, with a projected window of late 2026 to early 2027.

Dates are estimates and not yet officially confirmed by Hongqi.
Can I import a Hongqi E-HS9 to Oshawa myself before launch?
Privately importing a new Hongqi E-HS9 into Canada is generally not practical today: the vehicle must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), and new Chinese-made EVs have faced a 100% import surtax.
