TQ Wuling Huajing S PHEV SUV Debuts at KLIMS 2026
TQ Wuling Huajing S PHEV SUV – What Is It?
The TQ Wuling Huajing S is a six-seat plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) co-developed by TQ Wuling (a joint venture between TQ Group Malaysia and SAIC-GM-Wuling) and Huawei. It is categorised as a mid-size SUV designed for Malaysian families seeking lower fuel costs and reduced emissions. The vehicle uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with an electric motor and a battery pack. Official Malaysian distribution is handled by TQ Wuling Sdn Bhd, with sales and service centres in major cities. The Huajing S targets urban and suburban drivers who want the flexibility of both electric driving and petrol backup, addressing range anxiety and high fuel prices common in Malaysia.

What Is the Pure Electric Range of the TQ Wuling Huajing S in Malaysia?
Under the NEDC test cycle, the TQ Wuling Huajing S offers a pure electric range of 100 km. In real-world Malaysian driving conditions – involving tropical heat, air-conditioning use, and mixed urban-highway routes – the achievable range is approximately 75–85 km. This is sufficient for daily commutes in the Klang Valley (average 30–50 km round trip) and short urban errands.
According to the manufacturer’s press release at KLIMS 2026, “The Huajing S is engineered to cover the average daily driving distance of a Malaysian household on a single charge, reducing petrol consumption by up to 70% for urban users.”
TQ Wuling press release, KLIMS 2026 “The Huajing S is engineered to cover the average daily driving distance of a Malaysian household on a single charge, reducing petrol consumption by up to 70% for urban users.”
In Malaysian tropical conditions, the real-world electric range of the TQ Wuling Huajing S is estimated at 75–85 km per full charge.
How Does the Huawei Co-Development Affect the Vehicle’s Features?
Huawei provides the intelligent cockpit and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) for the Huajing S. The infotainment runs on HarmonyOS, supporting Malaysian apps such as Waze, Spotify, and Google Maps (via Huawei AppGallery). The ADAS suite includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking, all tuned for local road conditions. The system is designed to recognise Malaysian traffic signs and handle congested highways.
Huawei’s involvement also enables over-the-air (OTA) updates, allowing the vehicle to receive new features and map data without visiting a service centre. The voice assistant understands English and Bahasa Malaysia, as confirmed in the product briefing at KLIMS 2026.
The TQ Wuling Huajing S is the first PHEV in Malaysia to integrate Huawei’s HarmonyOS cockpit and ADS 2.0 driver-assistance system.
What Is the Fuel Efficiency of the Huajing S PHEV Under Malaysian Driving Conditions?
In plug-in hybrid mode (charge-depleting), the Huajing S consumes an estimated 1.6 L/100 km according to WLTP testing. When the battery is depleted and running on petrol only (charge-sustaining), fuel consumption rises to approximately 6.5 L/100 km. For a typical Malaysian who charges daily, the effective fuel cost is about RM 0.08 per km (assuming RM 2.05 per litre of RON 95 petrol).
A 2025 study by the Malaysian Automobile Association found that PHEVs in the Klang Valley average 2.8 L/100 km when owners charge at least once per day, translating to annual savings of RM 2,400 compared to a conventional 1.5T SUV. The Huajing S’s 1.5T engine is designed to run on RON 95 petrol, which is subsidised for private vehicles in Malaysia.
The TQ Wuling Huajing S achieves a combined fuel consumption of 1.6 L/100 km in hybrid mode, making it one of the most efficient six-seat PHEVs available in Malaysia.
Who Is This For in Malaysia?
The ideal Malaysian user for the TQ Wuling Huajing S is a family living in a landed property in suburban areas such as Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, or Johor Bahru, with access to a home charger (240V/15A or 32A). The six-seat layout suits families with two children and occasional grandparents. Users who commute 30–50 km daily and want to minimise petrol costs will benefit from the 100 km electric range. The vehicle is less suitable for condominium dwellers without dedicated charging points, as public DC fast charging is not supported. However, its AC charging time of about 3 hours from a standard wall socket makes overnight charging practical for landed homes.
Compared to other PHEVs in Malaysia such as the BMW X3 xDrive30e (RM 340,000) or the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (RM 180,000), the Huajing S offers a lower entry price and more seats, though with a smaller EV range. The absence of DC fast charging is a limitation for long-distance travellers who rely on highway charging stations.
| Model | Price (RM) | Seats | EV Range (km) | DC Charging |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TQ Wuling Huajing S | 135,000–155,000 | 6 | 100 | No |
| Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV | ~180,000 | 5 | 55 | CHAdeMO (optional) |
| BMW X3 xDrive30e | ~340,000 | 5 | 50 | CCS |
For Malaysian families with a landed home and daily commutes under 80 km, the TQ Wuling Huajing S offers the most affordable six-seat PHEV option with full EV capability.
Common Questions
Can the TQ Wuling Huajing S be charged at home with a standard 240V socket?
Yes, the onboard 6.6 kW charger works with a standard Malaysian UK-style 240V/13A socket, but a full charge takes about 6 hours. Installing a 32A wallbox reduces charge time to 3 hours.
Is the Huawei HarmonyOS smart cockpit compatible with Malaysian apps like Waze?
Yes, the system supports Waze, Google Maps (via AppGallery), and local apps. The voice assistant understands English and Bahasa Malaysia, and OTA updates add new app support.
What is the battery warranty in Malaysia?
The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first, by TQ Wuling Malaysia. This warranty is transferable to subsequent owners.
