Recently, the authorized Forthing dealer in Thailand successfully hosted the "Forthing Friday Media Test Drive" along the Bangkok-Pattaya route.
The event invited media and local user families from multiple ASEAN countries to participate, offering a full experience including a product presentation, real-world long-distance test drives, in-depth feature demonstrations, a 4S store tour, and a lively Pattaya Night, all conveying the peace of mind and delight that the Forthing Friday REEV brings to family journeys.
The convoy set off from Bangkok and headed to Pattaya, passing through a mix of urban expressways and coastal roads, allowing every participant to feel Friday's smooth and quiet driving quality in real road conditions.
As night fell, Pattaya Night welcomed the guests with a seafood buffet and a beachfront concert, quietly bridging the distance between the brand, users, and media, and elevating the test drive event into a warm family gathering.
During the test drive, a mother of two who participated in the event shared her 2-day-1-night parent-child trip from Samut Prakan after arriving in Pattaya.
"We set off with a full tank and a full charge, and the combined range was over 1,000 km. I didn't have to worry about charging at all along the way. My two kids played comfortably in the spacious rear cabin; the ride was so quiet and smooth, and we reached Pattaya effortlessly in just an hour and a half."
She especially pointed out that the 360° panoramic camera and front and rear sensors made parking extremely easy, while the 14.6-inch smart touchscreen and panoramic glass sunroof kept the children full of curiosity and laughter throughout the journey.
Upon arriving at the hotel, she was equally impressed by Friday's loading capacity — the trunk offers 480 liters of standard volume, easily swallowing the family's suitcases and beach gear, and expands to 1,480 liters with the rear seats folded down, handling even more luggage with ease.
The front seats with power adjustment and massage function, together with the thoughtfully equipped rear cup holders, made her remark from the heart that"this is a car that truly understands life."
Another male user who took part in the entire test drive expressed his recognition of Friday's performance and reliability from a driver's perspective.
"This vehicle delivers a 200 km pure electric range., which is more than enough for daily commuting. If you need to go further, the 1.5-liter range-extender engine kicks in at the right time to generate power for the battery. The driving feel is just like a pure EV — smooth and punchy — while being eco-friendly and completely free of range anxiety."
He was also quite satisfied with the performance of the heat pump air conditioner. In Thailand's sweltering heat, the cabin stayed cool and comfortable the entire time, and he didn't notice any obvious impact on driving range.
These real-world accounts from different perspectives jointly confirm that the Forthing Friday is not only a new energy vehicle with impressive numbers, but also a reliable companion that understands families, appreciates life, and inspires driving confidence.
During the event, Forthing also conveyed its strategic vision. At this year's 67 Brand Customer Day, Forthing proposed to drive a comprehensive transformation from a "manufacturing-oriented" model to a "service-oriented and ecosystem-oriented" one, dedicated to providing users with a one-stop solution covering all scenarios.
This ecosystem goes beyond product sales; it is built around electrification and intelligence to create a complete system that covers diverse mobility scenarios, technology sharing, and warm service.
That is precisely why the one-stop solution means that, starting from a full-scenario product matrix, Forthing creates full-lifecycle value for users that goes beyond the product itself, through technological depth, service warmth, and ecosystem breadth.
From the test drive of Friday conducted by the dealer partners in Thailand to the long-term layout of the one-stop service ecosystem in the ASEAN market, Forthing is writing a new chapter worth looking forward to with solid steps.
In the future, Forthing will continue to work with partners in Thailand and across the ASEAN market to bring safer, smarter, and more thoughtful family mobility experiences to more users, making every departure full of confidence and joy.
