Forthing Reshuffles Egypt Prices: EV and REEV Models Now Between EGP 1.22M and 1.42M

Al-Amal Motors, the local distributor for Forthing in Egypt, has issued a new price list covering its fully electric models, extended-range REEV variants, and the petrol-powered T5 EVO. Prices start at EGP 1.220 million. The update lands as the Chinese brand pushes deeper into multiple powertrain segments simultaneously.

Forthing S7: The EV Under cuts the REEV

The Forthing S7 EV is priced at EGP 1.320 million, while the S7 REEV comes in at EGP 1.400 million. That's an EGP 80,000 gap. The difference puts buyers in front of a clear equation: go fully electric and save, or pay more for extended range. Forthing is offering two completely different powertrain philosophies under one nameplate in the midsize crossover space.

T5 EV and T5 REEV: Just EGP 10,000 Apart

The Forthing T5 EV carries a price tag of EGP 1.410 million, while the T5 REEV is listed at EGP 1.420 million. Ten thousand pounds separate them. That near-identical pricing is unusual for the EV-versus-REEV equation. Extended-range models typically command a premium because they pack both a battery and a small petrol engine to generate power. But the Forthing T5 delivers both options at almost the same cost. That could either simplify or complicate the buyer's decision depending on charging infrastructure access.

T5 EVO: The Cheapest in the Lineup

The Forthing T5 EVO sits at the bottom of the new list with a price of EGP 1.220 million. It runs a conventional petrol engine and targets buyers who want a Chinese SUV at a competitive price without switching to electric. The number isn't the lowest in Egypt overall, but within the midsize Chinese SUV bracket it stays in the fight. Forthing is clearly trying to lock down presence across three powertrain types at once.

What the New Price List Signals

The list reflects Forthing's push to offer multiple energy options in the Egyptian market. From full electric to REEV — which relies on an electric system backed by a petrol engine to extend range — and on to conventional models. The update follows a series of pricing moves throughout 2026. In June, the company announced discounts of up to EGP 100,000 on some models before rolling out the latest list in October. That kind of price volatility mirrors the broader instability in Egypt's car market.

Local Assembly Plans Set for 2027

Price adjustments are running parallel to Al-Amal Motors' plans to expand local assembly of Forthing vehicles. The company aims to add two new models to production lines in the second quarter of 2027 — one fully electric and one plug-in hybrid. The move signals that the Chinese brand isn't treating Egypt as an import-only market. Local assembly could eventually lower costs and enable sharper pricing, but it also pressures the distributor to develop service and maintenance infrastructure.

On the competitive front, Forthing is positioning itself against multiple players in the Chinese SUV segment. The new prices stretch from EGP 1.220 million for the T5 EVO up to EGP 1.420 million for the T5 REEV. Egyptian buyers now face several options from the same brand within a relatively narrow price band. That strategy could attract those who want an EV without range anxiety — or it could leave shoppers torn between closely priced models with very different tech underneath.
