LAHORE (The Thursday Times) — Chery has launched its all-electric hatchback in Pakistan at an introductory ex-factory price of Rs5,554,000, unveiling the car at the Pakistan Auto Show in Lahore on Thursday. The company is selling it locally as the Chery Q, the same vehicle marketed internationally as the QQ3, and is including a home charger valued at Rs100,000 with the purchase. The price has been described as an introductory offer on limited stock.
Chery Q at a glance
- Introductory ex-factory price: Rs5,554,000
- Battery: 42.7 kWh LFP, rear-wheel drive
- Motor: 90 kW (about 121 hp), 111 Nm
- Claimed range: 400 km (NEDC), around 300 km (WLTP)
- Stated efficiency: 9.4 km/kWh
- Included: home charger worth Rs100,000
Pre-bookings for the car had opened earlier at Rs1.5 million, with the company saying the final figure would be announced at the auto show. The three-day exhibition at the Lahore Expo Centre opened on Thursday and runs until Saturday, bringing together manufacturers and distributors displaying new models.
The nameplate has a long history in Pakistan and elsewhere. The original QQ arrived in 2002 as an 800cc petrol microcar and was assembled in Lahore by United Motors between 2021 and 2023. The current generation is a different proposition entirely. It was unveiled at the Chengdu Auto Show in August 2025, launched in China in March 2026, and is already on sale in Thailand, with entries into the Middle East and Australia reported alongside Pakistan.
Mechanically, the car is built around a 42.7 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery paired with a rear-mounted motor producing 90 kW, about 121 horsepower, and 111 Nm of torque, driving the rear wheels. Chery claims a range of up to 400 kilometres under the NEDC testing cycle and around 300 kilometres under the more conservative WLTP cycle. That gap is worth noting. NEDC is a laboratory figure and generally runs more optimistic than real-world driving delivers, with actual range varying by traffic, driving style, weather and air-conditioning use. Top speed is listed at 135 km/h.
The hatchback measures 4,195 mm in length, 1,811 mm in width and 1,568 mm in height on a 2,700 mm wheelbase, with 152 mm of rear knee room. Reported equipment includes six airbags, an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, a 15.6-inch infotainment display, 50W wireless charging, wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an electric tailgate, a front trunk, Level 2 driver assistance, a 540-degree camera and automatic parking assist. It also supports 6.6 kW vehicle-to-load output, allowing the car to power external appliances, a feature with obvious utility in a country that still sees outages. These figures come from the manufacturer’s own specifications and have not been independently verified under Pakistani road and climate conditions.
At Rs5.554 million the car enters a segment that remains small but is no longer empty, and it will compete most directly with other compact Chinese electric hatchbacks including the Dongfeng Box. It joins a Chery lineup in Pakistan that currently consists of the Tiggo 7, 8 and 9, all plug-in hybrids, with a more affordable Tiggo 4 reportedly planned for next year.
