Chery Q Full Specifications: Range, Battery, Motor & Dimensions Explained
Updated: 5 days ago
The Chery Q specs list a 41.2 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and a 90 kW Rear Wheel Drive motor with 115 Nm of torque.
It has a claimed NEDC range of 400 km and measures 4,195 mm long on a 2,700 mm wheelbase.
Those are numbers, but they don't give you any idea of what they actually mean when you get in the driver's seat and start driving a car around Kathmandu.
This blog breaks down every major spec of the Chery Q, what it does in real terms, and why several of these numbers are genuinely rare at this price point in Nepal.
Chery Q Dimensions Explained
Here are the specification details of the Chery Q:
Dimension | Measurement |
Length | 4,195 mm |
Width | 1,811 mm |
Height | 1,568 mm |
Wheelbase | 2,700 mm |
Front track | 1,555 mm |
Rear track | 1,568 mm |
Approach angle | 21 degrees |
Departure angle | 26 degrees |
Turning radius | 5.2 metres |
Curb weight | 1,275 kg |
Frunk space | 70 litres |
Boot space | 375 litres, expandable to 1,450 litres |
Seating | 5 |
The relationship between the length and the wheelbase is also the number worth paying attention to.
A wheelbase of 2,700 mm on a 4,195 mm car means the wheels sit near the corners, ensuring great cabin space without the car feeling too long or difficult to park.
Enough ground clearance, paired with a 21-degree approach angle and 26-degree departure angle, means speed bumps, uneven side lanes and the occasional pothole won't have you wincing every time.
A turning radius of 5.2 metres also makes three point turns and tight parking spots noticeably less stressful.
Curb weight comes in at 1,275 kg, which is on the lighter side for an EV of this size, largely thanks to the relatively compact 41.2 kWh battery pack.
A lighter car generally means quicker acceleration off the line and less strain on the tyres and suspension over time, since the vehicle isn't hauling around excess weight it doesn't need.
The Chery Q has a 375-liter boot that extends to 1,450 liters, combined with the additional 70-liter frunk at the front, the car offers as more usable storage than its compact dimensions would suggest at first glance.
Chery Q Motor and Drivetrain Specifications
This Chery Q is powered by a PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) of 90 kW and 115 Nm of torque.
This type of motor is the standard choice in most modern electric vehicles because it converts electricity into motion more efficiently than older induction motor designs.
It runs quieter and needs almost no maintenance since there are no contacts or gears to wear down the way a traditional engine would have.
What sets the Chery Q apart is that this motor drives the rear wheels rather than the front ones.
Front Wheel Drive is more common among EVs in Nepal as it cost lower to engineer, but it also means the front wheels are doing two jobs at once, steering the car and putting power down.
The front/rear split of those duties on the Chery Q means more even weight distribution and cleaner power delivery, rather than tugging at the wheel under acceleration.
Chery Q Battery and Range Specifications
The battery is a 41.2 kilowatt-hour lithium iron phosphate, or LFP, battery.
This is a meaningfully different choice from the nickel-based batteries found in a lot of competing EVs.
LFP cells are not only more heat-stable (less susceptible to overheating), but they also last longer in charge cycles before they begin to lose capacity, and they hold up better under years of regular fast charging.
The trade-off is that, of course, it has a slightly lower energy density, leading to a reasonably sized pack rather than the massive one the Chery Q would have had, but the range figure isn't too far off for everyday driving.
Chery Q claims a range of up to 400 km on the NEDC testing cycle.
In real-world conditions in Kathmandu traffic jams, with the aircon on and some elevation added in, you will see figures come back a little lower, but it should still be more than enough for several days of city driving between charges.
The Chery Q offers DC fast charging, which can fill the battery from 30 to 80 percent in about 16.5 minutes.
The Chery Q is an electric urban/ compact SUV that supports 6.6 kW AC charging, taking about 7 hours to charge from 0% to 100%, so it can fully charge overnight on a standard AC charger and deliver around 400km of range.
You can check the pack's safety systems on the battery management system page, and find charging locations around the country on the charging stations page.
Chery Q Suspension and Braking Specifications
The Chery Q features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multilink independent rear suspension.
This setup is common on cars a segment above where the Chery Q is priced and usually delivers more controlled driving over rougher surfaces and greater composure in cornering than the simpler setups often used on budget EVs.
The car uses front ventilated disc and rear solid disc brakes, a setup suited to the car's weight and typical usage, with enough front bite for confident stopping in city traffic.
Chery Q Safety Specifications
The Comfort and Premium versions both include 6 airbags, front and rear seatbelt reminders, a mechanical child safety lock, a vehicle anti-theft alarm system.
The premium variant has a 540-degree panoramic camera system.
Below that are the essential electronic safety features of a correctly designed EV: ABS, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, hill assist control, hill descent control, and tire pressure monitoring.
The Premium variant goes further with the Falcon 500 ADAS suite, covering 21 advanced functions.
That includes adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert and automatic parking assist, and more.
Having this many driver assistance features on a car priced where the Chery Q sits is still fairly rare in Nepal's electric vehicle market.
Adaptive cruise control keeps a set distance from the car ahead without you constantly adjusting the pedal in traffic, which is genuinely useful on the Ring Road or any long stretch with stop and go movement.
Blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert are the kind of features that quietly prevent the small scrapes and near misses that happen in tight parking lots and busy junctions, situations that come up constantly in Kathmandu.
Automatic emergency braking, meanwhile, is a last line of defence that can react faster than a driver in the split second before a collision.
None of these replace attentive driving, but they do add a real layer of protection that budget EVs in Nepal typically skip entirely.
Chery Q Interior and Technology Specifications
The Comfort trim comes standard with a 12.8-inch central display. Premium gets a 15.6-inch display, an 8.8-inch digital driver display, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.
Premium adds a 50W wireless phone charger, a six-speaker sound system compared to Comfort's four, and a power adjustable driver seat.
Externally, there are seven exterior finishes (Beige, Blue, Purple, White, Pink, Red, and Silver) with a textured black interior available on all variants and a combination of black and porcelain cyan available on Premium.
Add in the 70-litre electric frunk, the vehicle to load function that lets the car power external devices, and the 375-litre boot that expands to 1,450 litres, and the cabin ends up more practical than its compact footprint suggests.
Taken together, these specifications explain why the Chery Q keeps coming up in conversations about value in Nepal's EV market.
It isn't just one standout number, it's the combination of a rear wheel drive layout, an LFP battery, independent suspension on both axles and a genuinely long ADAS list, all sitting on a car small enough to fit comfortably into daily Kathmandu driving.
Full pricing for both variants is listed on the price page, updated as offers change.
