Chery to Unveil Two New Cars at Paris Motor Show: 400 km Electric Range and 224 hp Hybrid

Chery is preparing to unveil two new cars at the 2026 Paris International Motor Show. This move reflects the accelerating competition among Chinese automakers to offer electric and hybrid models that combine advanced technology with competitive pricing, amid growing interest in this segment across global markets, including Egypt.

Chery Q: A Compact EV with 400 km Range

The numbers are bold. Chery will present the new Chery Q electric car for the first time to a European audience, alongside the Tiggo 4 hybrid SUV, during the show that kicks off on October 12. The Chery Q belongs to the compact EV segment, measuring 4.19 meters long, 1.81 meters wide, with a wheelbase of 2.70 meters. These dimensions give it maneuverability in cities while offering interior space suitable for family use.

What do these figures mean for buyers? Chery equipped the Q with an electric motor producing 121 hp and a 41 kWh battery, with a claimed range of up to 400 km per charge under the NEDC standard. That standard is outdated and differs from the newer European WLTP tests, meaning real-world range could be lower. Yet the car supports fast charging from 30% to 80% in under 17 minutes — a vital feature for those relying on the car for long daily commutes.

V2L Technology and Smart Storage Spaces

The battery isn't just for driving. The Chery Q offers V2L technology that allows the car's battery to power external electrical devices, plus a 375-liter rear cargo space and an additional 70-liter front compartment. The cabin includes 38 different storage spaces, aiming to enhance practicality despite its compact dimensions. These details reveal that Chery is targeting buyers seeking a practical electric car for daily use without sacrificing equipment.

Tiggo 4 Hybrid: 224 hp with City-Friendly Dimensions

The numbers speak. The second model, the Tiggo 4 hybrid, measures 4.32 meters long with a 430-liter rear cargo space. It targets customers looking for a sporty SUV with city-friendly dimensions. It relies on a hybrid system combining a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and an electric motor, producing a total output of 224 hp. That power makes it an appealing option for those wanting strong performance with fuel efficiency.

On long roads... Can these figures compete with European brands? Chery is betting on a mix of technology and competitive pricing. The European experience will be the real test of these models' ability to convince consumers outside China. With their potential arrival in the Egyptian market later, the local EV and hybrid market could see tougher competition. The coming days will reveal European audience reactions at the Paris show.
