The wave of Asian premieres at the Paris Motor Show continues to redefine the European automotive landscape. Among the most exciting novelties on display on stage is the official debut of the new Chery Q, an all-new model that represents the first pure electric city vehicle in the Chinese manufacturer's portfolio dedicated to this segment.
Exterior design: Minimalist lines and robust accents for the urban environment
The new Chery Q adopts a clean visual philosophy that combines minimalist elegance with practical elements adapted to the hustle and bustle of the city.
- Front: It is dominated by compact and round optical blocks, which provide a friendly but extremely modern signature.
- Side profile: The flowing lines are complemented by hidden door handles to improve aerodynamics. In addition, the lower body incorporates robust plastic protection elements, providing added strength in everyday use.
- Rear: The LED taillights have a distinctive semi-oval shape, which complements the car's youthful and dynamic appearance.
A digitalized cabin and top technologies
Inside, the new Chery Q exceeds the usual standards of the urban segment, emphasizing advanced connectivity and superior comfort.
- Multimedia architecture: The driving position integrates an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster and an impressive 15.6-inch central touchscreen dedicated to the infotainment system.
- Comfort and functionality: Passengers can enjoy an intelligent voice assistant, sophisticated 256-color ambient lighting, wireless smartphone charger, and both heated and ventilated front seats.
- 540-degree visibility: Maneuvering in tight spaces is considerably simplified thanks to the advanced camera system that provides a full panoramic perspective, including the chassis transparency function.
Propulsion system, battery and charging efficiency
Under the compact body, the new Chery Q focuses on an optimal balance between energy efficiency and urban performance.
- Engine and performance: Propulsion is provided by a single electric motor located on the rear axle, which develops 122 horsepower. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is achieved in 13.5 seconds, a dynamics perfectly adapted to the urban and peri-urban environment.
- Battery and range: The LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) battery has a capacity of 42.7 kWh and provides a generous range of up to 400 kilometers on a single charge.
- Fast charging: The system supports power supplies of up to 90 kW in direct current, allowing a charge from 30% to 80% in just 16 minutes and 30 seconds.
Availability and estimated prices for the Romanian market
Although Chery has not yet revealed the final official price lists for the European market at the Paris Motor Show, the launch of its first electric urban model marks the brand's clear intention to aggressively penetrate the affordable segments on the Old Continent.
- Launch in Romania: The new Chery Q is expected to make its debut in the national distribution network next year, becoming one of the main options for customers looking for a 100% electric city car.
- Estimated prices: Given its positioning as a compact zero-emission entry-level model and a direct competitor for affordable electric hatchbacks, the estimated starting price for the Romanian market is forecast to be in an attractive range between 18,000 and 22,000 euros (VAT included). The final purchase value can be substantially reduced by accessing the national Rabla Plus program, transforming the new Chery Q into one of the most affordable electric options on the market.
