Hawtai A25 2016-2019

The Chinese company Hawtai was established in 2000, owned by Chinese businessman Zhang Zhiyong, and operates in the sedans and SUVs sector. Hawtai Group signed an agreement with National Motors to manufacture cars in Egypt, launching its models locally, and establishing three factories for engines, gearboxes, and spare parts. The Hawtai A25 was introduced to Egypt in 2016, and was offered in two categories: the first manual, priced at EGP 249,999, and the second automatic, priced at EGP 287,000. Upon its launch, the car came with a 3-year/100,000 km warranty. The car continued in Egypt until 2019, but has since disappeared and is no longer available on the Egyptian market, causing a crisis for car owners due to spare parts and resale.

Reviews - Hawtai A25 2016-2019

Motor

80%

The car is powered by a 1500cc turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 156 hp at 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 215 Nm, mated to a 4-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. At the time of its introduction, the car was among the few Chinese cars offered with a turbo engine and was considered one of the most powerful Chinese models in Egypt. It also comes with a 50-liter fuel tank. The car's engine is powered by Land Rover technology and features a ZF transmission.

The car's engine is considered dynamic, but its main problem is that the automatic transmission is only 4 speeds, which reduces the engine's performance despite its significant torque. The car complies with Euro 5 fuel emission standards, the standard in force in European countries. This is one of the car's advantages, as most cars at the time of this model's launch were operating according to the Euro 3 system. The car is considered one of the least polluting cars on the market, which has prompted many to try to learn about it and verify its low emissions.

Spare Parts

30%

Spare parts for the car are not available in Egypt due to the discontinuation of its production, the agency stopping the production of Hawtai models, the end of the relationship with the Chinese company, Korean alternatives for spare parts being provided, the high prices of spare parts for the car, and the presence of a very limited number of technicians dealing with car maintenance in Egypt. The car suffers from numerous defects and many problems reported by its owners, including gearbox squealing, problems with suspension sounds, and other problems, the most difficult of which is finding spare parts available.

Suspension

90%

The car has a ground clearance of 25 cm, which is a very good amount for handling bumps and unpaved roads on Egyptian roads. The car's ground clearance is among the highest in its class, making it capable of navigating Egypt's roads and streets comfortably and without fear.

Resale

20%

The car is rare on Egyptian roads and in the Egyptian used car market due to its short shelf life and the fact that the agent stopped offering it and the brand itself to the Egyptian market. The A25 is considered the only Hawtai car in Egypt and its presence in the sales markets and websites is very limited and its sales are weak, and there is difficulty in reselling it due to its many problems and the lack of a local agent who provides spare parts and maintenance for it now.

Security

70%
The Hawtai A25 features numerous safety systems, including: - Anti-lock braking system (ABS). - Electronic brake-force distribution (EBD). - Hill-start and slope anti-slip control (HAC). - Two airbags for the driver and front passenger. - Electronic stability program (ESP). - Immobilizer anti-theft system. There are not many other safety features available, as it was only offered in one trim level in Egypt with these specifications, and no other trim levels were available, allowing for a variety of safety features.
