FAW Group, founded on July 15, 1953, in Changchun, first made its mark with the Jiefang CA-10 truck. In 1958, it unveiled the Hongqi luxury sedan—the country’s first domestically built passenger car. Since then, FAW has broadened its lineup: commercial vehicles under the Jiefang brand, mass-market cars under Bestune, and, through joint ventures with Volkswagen and Toyota, globally renowned models for Chinese consumers. Today, FAW is one of China’s largest automakers, selling millions of vehicles annually across Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. Its revival of the Hongqi marque—marrying classic design cues with modern electric and hybrid powertrains—underscores FAW’s pivotal role in the nation’s ongoing automotive evolution.
