Chery Q bookings open at Rs1.5m ahead of Pakistan auto show debut

According to Mettis Global, reservations for the Chery Q electric vehicle are now open at Rs1.5 million, with the model scheduled to debut at the Pakistan Auto Show, set for 18 September 2026. The company has yet to publish the final price and full commercial terms, which are due to be announced at the show.

Positioned as an upgrade rather than a replacement, the all-electric Q offers a 2,700 mm wheelbase and 152 mm of rear legroom inside a 1,811 mm wide body. Its equipment list covers electric rear-wheel drive, six airbags, an L2 ADAS suite with 21 functions and a 15.6-inch display that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The report also focuses on running costs, estimating roughly Rs30,000 a year on solar for the Q against Rs488,000 to 569,000 in petrol for a vehicle covering 20,000 km annually. Its 42.7 kWh battery gives up to 400 km of range.

The launch is framed against rapid growth in Pakistan's EV market, with sales up 257% between FY2024-25 and FY2025-26, from 1,839 to 6,560 units. Mettis Global also points to a petroleum import bill of $16.86bn in FY2025-26 and says cleaner mobility could ease reliance on imported fuel. Chery Master, which already runs 14 dealer outlets across 8 cities, draws on the Master Group, a business with over 60 years of legacy.
