Starting from RMB 68,920: Chery QQ3 EV Set to Launch on March 30, A Classic Name Returns
A Familiar Look, Fully Reinvented
At first glance, the new QQ3 EV still carries the familiar rounded silhouette that made the original QQ so memorable—but with a modern twist.
Built around Chery’s new “Smart Round, Structured Form” design philosophy, the car blends soft curves with sharper lines, making it look youthful without being overly playful.
Key highlights include:
- Distinctive Q-shaped LED headlights
- Closed front grille emphasizing its EV identity
- Sleek side profile with semi-hidden door handles
- Balanced proportions for a more stable visual stance
In terms of size:
- Length: 4,195 mm
- Width: 1,811 mm
- Height: 1,573 mm
- Wheelbase: 2,700 mm
Notably, the wheelbase is quite generous for its class, even rivaling some compact cars. The model also offers six vibrant color options, clearly targeting younger buyers.
Interior: Smart, Practical, and Thoughtful
Inside the cabin, the QQ3 EV features a modern and tech-focused layout.
- 15.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreen
- Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip
- Equipped with intelligent voice assistant (visible-to-speak interaction)
A unique feature is the four threaded expansion ports inside the cabin. These allow users to attach accessories such as tablets, phone holders, or small tables—adding a level of customization rarely seen in this segment.
Other highlights include:
- Ventilated and heated front seats
- Smart makeup mirror with adjustable color temperature
- External voice function for communication outside the vehicle
- Bluetooth key access
Space: The Biggest Surprise
If the design and tech are impressive, the space utilization is truly unexpected.

- Rear trunk capacity: 375L (expandable to 1,450L)
- Additional 35L hidden storage under rear seats
- Total of 38 storage compartments throughout the car
This makes the QQ3 EV highly practical for daily use, shopping trips, or even short getaways.
