What Makes The Chery Q A Practical Electric Choice
The Q brings together the qualities that matter most in everyday electric driving. Its compact footprint is easy to manage in traffic and busy parking areas, while the dedicated electric platform and 2,700mm wheelbase help create a cabin with generous room for passengers. A 70-litre front storage compartment adds another useful place for shopping bags, charging cables and smaller essentials.
The 42.7kWh battery offers a claimed range of up to 310km WLTP, giving you useful flexibility for commuting, school runs and regular errands. Fast-charging capability supports longer journeys, while Vehicle-to-Load technology allows the battery to power compatible external devices. With Comfort and Elite derivatives to choose from, you can match the Q’s technology and convenience features to your needs.
Chery Q Engine Specification
While motorists may refer to the Chery Q engine specifications, this fully electric hatchback uses an electric motor instead of a conventional combustion engine. Both derivatives produce 90kW and 115Nm, providing smooth, quiet power that suits commuting and urban driving. The Q EV reaches a top speed of 139km/h and accelerates from 0–100km/h in 13.5 seconds.

|---|---|---|
| Comfort | 90kW | 115Nm |

Chery Q Fuel Consumption*
There is no conventional fuel-consumption figure because the Q runs entirely on electricity. Instead, its everyday usability is measured through battery capacity and driving range. Both derivatives use a 42.7kWh battery, with a claimed range of up to 310km on the WLTP cycle or 400km according to the NEDC cycle.
| Derivative | Battery Capacity | Electric Range* |
|---|---|---|
| Comfort | 42.7kWh | Up to 310km WLTP |
| Elite | 42.7kWh | Up to 310km WLTP |
A 6.6kW AC charging module supports charging at home, while DC fast charging can replenish the battery from 30% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes. Battery liquid heating and cooling help manage operating temperature, while V2L capability allows you to power compatible external devices from the vehicle.
Claimed range is achieved under controlled testing conditions. Actual range will vary according to speed, driving style, traffic, terrain, weather, vehicle load and climate-control use.
Chery Q Safety Features
Both Chery EV derivatives are equipped with six airbags to provide protection across the cabin. The Comfort adds a rear-view camera for greater visibility when reversing, while the Elite builds on this foundation with a 540-degree panoramic-view camera and 21 intelligent driver-assistance features.
