Al-Amal Motors Announces New Forthing Prices for the Egyptian Market

The numbers are in. Al-Amal Motors, the local distributor for Chinese brand Forthing in Egypt, has released a new price list covering five models that span full electric, range-extended REEV, and conventional petrol powertrains. The priciest model on the list is the Forthing T5 REEV at 1,420,000 EGP — a figure that places the Chinese badge squarely against established compact SUV rivals in Egypt. The updated pricing arrives at a time when car prices across the country shift almost weekly.

Forthing 2025 Prices: Electric and Range-Extended Models Lead the Pack

At the top of the list sits the Forthing S7 EV at 1,320,000 EGP, the fully electric version aimed at buyers chasing zero emissions. Next comes the Forthing S7 REEV at 1,400,000 EGP. That uses a range-extender setup pairing a small petrol engine with an electric motor. The gap between the two versions is just 80,000 EGP. That may look like a rounding error at first glance. Yet for EV buyers in Egypt, it's the kind of figure that drives real decisions.

Forthing T5 EV vs T5 REEV: A Ten-Thousand-Pound Gap

The T5 EV carries a price tag of 1,410,000 EGP, while the T5 REEV is listed at 1,420,000 EGP. Ten thousand pounds separate two fundamentally different propulsion systems — one fully electric and one backed by a petrol engine. Egyptian buyers now face a tricky equation: pure battery or extended range. Al-Amal Motors has not yet disclosed range figures, battery capacities, or charging times for either version, data that matters enormously in this market.

Forthing T5 EVO: The Petrol Option at 1.22 Million EGP

The lowest number on the list belongs to the Forthing T5 EVO at 1,220,000 EGP, a model that runs on a conventional petrol engine with no electrification at all. Undercutting the T5 REEV by roughly 200,000 EGP gives this variant a clear cost advantage for anyone unwilling to deal with charging infrastructure or battery tech. Engine specs and trim details remain unannounced, but the distributor confirmed all five models are available through authorized dealers.

What This Pricing Means for Egypt's Car Market

Context matters here. Egypt's automotive sector has absorbed relentless price pressure since the currency float, yet Chinese brands keep expanding with competitive stickers. Forthing isn't alone — the SUV segment between 1 million and 1.5 million EGP is getting crowded with rivals like the Chery Tiggo and Haval Jolion. Bringing fully electric and range-extended options into this price bracket could push other distributors to revisit their own pricing. The Egyptian consumer might just come out ahead.
