Red Flag is the literal English translation of Hongqi, FAW's prestige marque, and it is the name that can appear on export papers, auction listings and insurance documents. If your car is recorded under Red Flag, it is a Hongqi, and our Hongqi page covers the current range sold in the UAE. This page deals with the cars more likely to arrive through private or grey import under the translated name: older saloons such as the HQ3 and H7, the L5 limousine, and electric models built mainly for China.

What a Red Flag typically takes
We do not publish a specification range for Red Flag because we would be guessing. Send us the model and year on WhatsApp and we confirm the exact battery, the price and the arrival time in one message.
Saloons from before the current range
The HQ3 and H7 predate the models now sold here. The HQ3 borrowed heavily from Toyota's Crown Majesta, while the H7 was an executive saloon launched in 2013. Both are rare in the UAE and have no local parts support. A battery for either is matched from what is already fitted, and on cars of this age we also check the charging output before condemning the old one.
The L5 limousine in private hands
The L5 is a limousine built in very small numbers in the tradition of China's parade cars, and it is seldom seen outside China. Cars like this are often stored for months and driven occasionally, which is hard on any battery. If one is kept in the UAE, a maintainer connected during storage does more for battery life than the brand of replacement.
Electric models built for China
The E-HS3 and E-QM5 were developed mainly for Chinese buyers, and the E-QM5 is widely used there by taxi and ride-hailing fleets. Imported examples still depend on a 12V battery to wake the car and connect the traction pack. When the 12V side fails, the car can seem dead despite a charged main battery. We change the 12V unit on site; the high-voltage system is not something we touch.
Red Flag models: what to know
- HQ3
- Older saloon with Toyota-derived engineering; we match the battery from the fitted unit and test the charging voltage.
- L5
- Limousine built in tiny numbers; long storage calls for a maintainer between drives.
- H7
- Executive saloon from 2013 onward; confirm the year and engine before we bring a battery.
- LS7
- Large luxury SUV; its comfort equipment needs the full original battery capacity.
- E-HS3
- Compact electric SUV; only the 12V auxiliary battery is replaced on site.
- E-QM5
- Electric saloon popular with Chinese fleets; a weak 12V battery can stop it waking.

Questions, answered.
No. Red Flag is the English meaning of Hongqi, and both names refer to FAW's luxury brand. Documents issued outside China sometimes use the translation instead of the Chinese name.
The name on the paperwork does not change the battery. Give us the model and year, and a clear picture of the fitted battery if you can, and we bring one that matches.
