Forthing Raises All Model Prices in Egypt by EGP 30,000

Forthing's agent in Egypt has announced a uniform price increase of EGP 30,000 across its entire lineup, reflecting a fresh wave of hikes sweeping the local market. Prices now start at EGP 1,220,000 for the T5 EVO Exclusive and reach EGP 2,630,000 for the V9 Exclusive. The move affects every trim level currently on sale.

Full Breakdown of Forthing's New Pricing

The increase covers all Forthing models available in Egypt, including electric and extended-range variants. It comes after a period of price stability for the Chinese brand, which has been building a growing customer base in the Egyptian market backed by a 5-year or 150,000 km warranty. No trim was spared. The new prices apply across the board, positioning Forthing as a competitor in the mid-price SUV segment against rivals like Chery and Haval.

Forthing T5 Prices After the Increase

The T5 EVO Exclusive now costs EGP 1,220,000, up from EGP 1,190,000. The fully electric T5 climbed to EGP 1,410,000 from EGP 1,380,000. The REEV extended-range version reached EGP 1,420,000, up from EGP 1,390,000. All three variants carry the same EGP 30,000 increase. These figures reflect the growing push toward electrified options in Egypt, where Chinese brands are expanding their EV and hybrid offerings at an accelerating pace.

V9, U-Tour and S7 Join the Hike

The V9 Exclusive rose to EGP 2,630,000 from EGP 2,600,000. The U-Tour Exclusive now sits at EGP 1,620,000, up from EGP 1,590,000. The electric S7 moved to EGP 1,320,000 from EGP 1,290,000, while its REEV version reached EGP 1,400,000 from EGP 1,370,000. Every variant was affected. The timing is sensitive, with the Egyptian market under mounting pressure from currency fluctuations, import costs and shipping expenses, forcing agents to adjust prices regularly to protect margins.

Five-Year Warranty Bolsters Forthing's Position

Forthing offers a 5-year or 150,000 km warranty in Egypt — one of the longest programs in the local market. It covers all current models. That warranty has helped the Chinese brand earn consumer trust in a market where after-sales service and long-term maintenance costs weigh heavily on purchase decisions. Still, the latest price hike may push some buyers to reconsider alternatives in adjacent price brackets, especially with fierce competition from other Chinese players.

Market Context and What Lies Ahead

This isn't the first price increase in the Egyptian market in recent months. Several agents have raised prices by varying margins. Indicators suggest pricing pressure will persist as economic challenges continue. More brands are likely to follow suit, intensifying competition in the EV and hybrid segment, where Chinese models are expanding rapidly. The key question: can Egyptian consumers absorb these successive increases, or will demand slow in the higher price tiers?
