The Chery Q EV is set to make its official debut at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2026 on September 18, and bookings are already open at a deposit of Rs 1.5 million. Chery Master Pakistan is expanding its new-energy vehicle portfolio with the launch of the all-electric Chery Q at PAPS 2026, as electric vehicles continue to gain ground in the country’s automobile market. This is one of the most anticipated EV moments of the year for Pakistani car buyers, and the spec sheet gives good reason for that excitement.
Chery Q EV Specs, What the Numbers Actually Mean
The Chery Q runs on a 42.7 kWh battery and claims a driving range of up to 400 kilometres under the NEDC cycle, with an efficiency of 9.4 kilometres per unit of electricity. For most city drivers in Lahore, Karachi, or Islamabad, that means a full week of commuting on a single charge.
The car measures 4,195 mm in length with a 2,700 mm wheelbase, giving it a compact outer footprint while keeping the interior relatively spacious. At 1,811 mm wide, with 152 mm of rear knee room, the Q delivers generous cabin space within an urban-friendly size.
The technology pack includes Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems with 21 assistance features, Automatic Parking Assist, a 15.6-inch 2.5K display, mobile connectivity, and Vehicle-to-Load functionality. Vehicle-to-Load means the car can power external devices directly, handy for anyone running appliances or tools from the car’s battery.
Bookings Open Now, Price Reveal Comes at PAPS
Chery Master Pakistan has opened bookings for the Chery Q at Rs 1.5 million, ahead of its official launch at the Pakistan Auto Show on September 18, 2026. The full pricing, booking details, and the complete commercial proposition will be announced at PAPS on September 18.
The company is positioning the Chery Q as an urban-focused electric vehicle aimed at consumers looking for a practical car for everyday commuting. Think of it as a second household car that handles school runs and office trips without a petrol bill.
The Solar Savings Angle Nobody Is Talking About
What makes the Chery Q EV especially interesting for Pakistani households is its link to rooftop solar. Chery Master Pakistan is tapping into Pakistan’s rapidly expanding rooftop solar market by positioning electric mobility as a way for households to put surplus solar generation to more productive use.
According to estimates from the company, a conventional petrol vehicle driven around 20,000 kilometres annually could consume roughly Rs 488,000 worth of fuel. In a real-world calculation based on an efficiency of around 7.2 kilometres per unit, the annual energy cost of running the Chery Q could fall to approximately Rs 30,000 for households able to use surplus solar power for charging. That is a potential fuel saving of over Rs 450,000 per year, serious money for any Pakistani family.
Pakistan’s EV Market Has Changed Fast
The timing of this launch is no accident. The NEV segment in Pakistan grew by 392% during FY2025-26 and now accounts for around 15% of the overall automobile market. That growth has been driven by rising petrol prices, government incentives, and a wave of Chinese brands entering the market.
Pakistan’s NEV Policy 2025-30 aims to increase the share of electric and other new-energy vehicles in new vehicle sales to 30% by 2030. The government has said a shift toward electric mobility could save more than 2 billion litres of fuel annually and generate nearly $1 billion in foreign exchange savings each year while reducing emissions.
For buyers watching petrol prices closely, the shift makes financial sense. Petrol prices have been volatile in 2026, you can follow the latest petrol price in Pakistan today to see how quickly the numbers move.
The government’s NEV Policy outlines a plan for 3,000 charging stations by 2030, starting with fast-chargers at 40 strategic sites along motorways and the N5 highway. For now, most Chery Q buyers are expected to charge at home, which is where the solar connection becomes a real-world advantage.
Where Does the Chery Q Sit in the Market?
Pakistan has seen several Chinese EV brands arrive in the past two years. The Chery Q EV enters a space that is still taking shape. Its compact size and urban focus set it apart from bigger, more expensive crossovers. The Rs 1.5 million booking deposit also signals that the full price will likely be positioned to attract first-time EV buyers rather than luxury seekers.
Chery already has a footprint in Pakistan through its Tiggo SUV range. Adding a pure electric model at PAPS 2026 shows the company is serious about growing its share of the NEV segment before the market gets more crowded.
