REHIGH Raises Car Prices in Egypt: RH8 Now at EGP 2.7 Million
REHIGH, the Egyptian agent for China's Dayun, has announced a limited price increase across its lineup in response to the rising US dollar against the Egyptian pound. The company said it absorbed part of the import cost increase to protect customers, with future adjustments tied to market conditions. The RH8 is priced at EGP 2.7 million with a 710 km range, while the RH6 sedan offers 810 km and fast charging from 30% to 80% in 10 minutes.
REHIGH, the Egyptian agent for Chinese brand Dayun, has announced a limited price increase across its model lineup in response to the rising US dollar exchange rate against the Egyptian pound. The move was confirmed in an official statement published on the company's social media accounts. The increase reflects higher import costs, which have been climbing steadily as the currency fluctuates. For buyers eyeing the RH8, the price now stands at EGP 2.7 million.
REHIGH Announces Increase to Customers
Transparency is the headline here. REHIGH said it informed customers directly about the adjustment as part of its commitment to clarity and compliance. The company stressed that the decision was not arbitrary. Rising dollar rates have pushed import costs higher, making a price revision unavoidable. Still, the increase was described as limited — a deliberate attempt to soften the blow for Egyptian consumers.
Shouldering Part of the Import Burden
The real surprise isn't the increase itself. It's REHIGH's admission that it absorbed part of the additional cost. That means the final sticker price doesn't reflect the full import increase — the company shared the burden with buyers. Will this be enough to keep demand steady? The market will decide, but the agent is clearly trying to stay competitive under mounting economic pressure.
Future Adjustments Tied to Market Reality
Looking ahead, the company made no promises of price stability. Any future adjustments will remain tied to actual market changes and import costs, according to the statement. REHIGH reiterated its commitment to balancing market requirements with customer interests — a difficult act in a volatile currency environment. If the dollar keeps climbing, further increases can't be ruled out.
RH8 Electric Specs: 710 km Range
EGP 2.7 million buys the REHIGH RH8, the brand's flagship electric model in Egypt. It runs on a dual-motor setup — front and rear — delivering 250 kW and a range of up to 710 km on a single charge. Those figures place it firmly in the premium EV conversation. REHIGH operates under the Chinese Dayun umbrella, giving it a technical backbone in Egypt's growing electric vehicle segment.
RH6 Sedan: 810 km and Fast Charging
For buyers needing more range, the REHIGH RH6 sedan offers up to 810 km with the same 250 kW dual-motor configuration. It supports fast charging at up to 30 kW, enabling a 30% to 80% charge in just 10 minutes. On paper, that's a compelling package for families considering the switch to electric. But pricing after the latest increase will determine how well it competes. With the pound still under pressure, the market is watching whether REHIGH will need to revisit its prices again in the coming months.
