The first batch of Chery Q electric hatchbacks has arrived at Master Chery Pakistan’s plant in Karachi, according to a report published on Tuesday, bringing the country’s newest affordable electric car a step closer to customer deliveries.
The cars were booked after the Chery Q was launched at the Pakistan Auto Show in Lahore on September 18, where the Premium variant was introduced at Rs. 5,554,000. The company has not yet announced an official delivery schedule or confirmed when the vehicles will reach dealerships.
First consignment reached Karachi after October 5 dispatch
The first consignment of the Chery Q was reportedly dispatched to Pakistan on October 5. Before the vehicles are sent out to dealerships, they may undergo inspections and other processing procedures at the Karachi facility. The arrival of the batch is the clearest sign yet that customer deliveries are approaching, even though the company has still not shared a confirmed date.
The Karachi facility is Master Chery Pakistan’s $150 million plant in the National Industrial Park at Port Qasim, a 60-acre site where the company is building its new-energy vehicle operations. The plant is already assembling Chery’s Tiggo plug-in hybrid SUVs, and the arrival of the imported Q consignment shows the company is preparing its sales and service chain for the electric hatchback as well.
For buyers who placed bookings in September and October, the news ends weeks of waiting with no official word on timing. Until the company announces its delivery plan, those customers remain in the dark about exactly when their cars will arrive.
Price, booking amount and the free 7 kW home charger
The Chery Q is being offered in the Premium variant at the limited introductory price of Rs. 5,554,000, with a booking amount of Rs. 1.5 million. Early eligible customers were also promised a complimentary 7 kW home charger, a unit valued at around Rs. 100,000, as part of the launch offer.
The pricing places the Q in the Rs. 4.5 to 6 million bracket, a segment where Pakistani buyers have long had to compromise on space, technology, safety or running costs, according to the company. A home charger in the package is a meaningful addition for electric car buyers, since public charging infrastructure is still limited outside the major cities.
Anyone considering a booking should note that the Rs. 5,554,000 figure is described as a limited-time introductory price, which means it could be revised once the launch window closes.
Battery, range and standout features
The Chery Q carries a 42.7 kWh battery paired with a rear-mounted electric motor that produces 121 horsepower and 111 Nm of torque, driving the rear wheels. The company claims a driving range of 400 kilometres under the NEDC cycle and approximately 310 kilometres under WLTP testing, with stated efficiency of 9.4 km per kWh — a figure that makes it particularly relevant for households with rooftop solar.
The hatchback measures 4,195 mm long and 1,811 mm wide with a 2,700 mm wheelbase, making it larger than common local small cars such as the Suzuki Swift and Suzuki Cultus. Inside, it offers a 15.6-inch infotainment screen and an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster.
On safety and driver assistance, the Q comes with six airbags, Level 2 driver-assistance systems and DC fast charging support. The combination of a five-star-style safety kit and fast-charging capability is unusual at this price point in Pakistan’s market and is likely to be one of the car’s strongest selling points.
Another sign of Pakistan’s accelerating EV shift
The Chery Q’s arrival lands in the middle of a busy month for electric vehicles in Pakistan. It comes just days before the Jaecoo J5 EV’s official price reveal on November 6, and follows the government’s Green Government Fleet project, which plans a gradual shift of official vehicles to electric power.
The Q also revives a familiar nameplate: the original Chery QQ debuted in 2002 as an 800cc micro-hatchback, and the new electric Q is already on the road in markets such as Thailand. In Pakistan it will compete with rivals including the Dongfeng Box and the GAC AION UT, while the Geely EX2 has been showcased locally but its price and specifications are still unannounced.
For now, the honest position is this: the cars are in Karachi, the price and specifications are confirmed, but the delivery date is not. Buyers waiting since September should watch for the company’s official announcement before making transport or financing plans around a specific date.
