Chery Q Electric Hatchback Launched at PAPS 2026 for Rs5,554,000

Chery has taken the wraps off its new Q electric hatchback at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2026 in Lahore, revealing a compact EV aimed squarely at city drivers. The Chery Q Pakistan price has been set at Rs5,554,000, making it one of the most affordable electric cars on sale in the country.

The hatchback was unveiled during the show, held from September 18 to 20, 2026, where it drew crowds of visitors curious to see how much electric motoring now costs in Pakistan.

Battery and range

The Chery Q packs a 42.7kWh battery pack, which the company says delivers a driving range of around 400 kilometres on the NEDC cycle. That is more than enough for a week of typical city commuting on a single charge, and it puts the little hatchback in practical territory for intercity trips as well.

Features and safety

Despite its compact size and keen pricing, the Q comes loaded with technology. Standout features include a self-parking system, Level 2 driver-assistance systems and a large 15.6-inch central touchscreen that dominates the dashboard.

Safety hasn’t been overlooked either: the Premium variant gets six airbags, giving buyers in this price bracket a level of protection that was rare until recently.

Key facts

• Price: Rs5,554,000.
• Unveiled at: Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2026, Lahore, September 18–20.
• Battery: 42.7kWh with around 400km NEDC range.

An affordable way into EVs

At Rs5.55 million, the Chery Q undercuts many rivals and opens electric ownership to buyers who previously found EVs out of reach. With negligible running costs compared to petrol cars, the math is compelling for high-mileage urban users.

If Chery backs the Q with strong after-sales support and an expanding dealer network, the little hatchback could become a common sight on Pakistani roads — and a sign that affordable electric motoring has truly arrived.

What the launch signals

The Chery Q’s debut at PAPS 2026 says a lot about where Pakistan’s auto market is headed. Auto shows were once dominated by petrol sedans and SUVs; this year, electric models shared the spotlight, reflecting both buyer curiosity and manufacturer commitment to cleaner transport.

For Chery, the Q is a statement of intent: affordable electric mobility for the masses rather than a luxury niche. If the company prices spare parts sensibly and builds service capacity alongside sales, the Q could do for EVs what budget hatchbacks once did for car ownership in Pakistan — bring it within everyone’s reach.
