Competition in Indonesia’s electric vehicle market is becoming increasingly exciting with the arrival of the Chery Q. Previously known as the Chery QQ3 EV in China, this compact electric hatchback was officially introduced by Chery Sales Indonesia in May 2026.
The vehicle targets urban consumers seeking a practical, modern, and affordable electric car. The Chery Q also revives the well-known QQ nameplate, which gained popularity in various markets during the 2000s. This time, it returns as a fully electric vehicle equipped with modern technology and contemporary styling.
Chery has now announced the official pricing for the Chery Q. The model is offered in two variants at special pre-book prices (OTR Jakarta): the Chery Q Pure at IDR 239,900,000 and the Chery Q Rizz at IDR 259,900,000, which already includes a complimentary Sigma Package.
The two variants come with different pre-book periods. The Chery Q Rizz pre-book runs from 18 May to 9 August 2026, while the Chery Q Pure pre-book opens for a shorter window, from 31 July to 9 August 2026. The pre-book program is available nationwide through the official Chery Indonesia website at chery.co.id. Terms and conditions apply.
With competitive pricing for an electric SUV, the Chery Q is well positioned to compete against other compact EVs entering the Indonesian market.
The two variants differ mainly in feature content. The Chery Q Rizz is the more fully equipped option, featuring a 15.6-inch head-unit, 20 ADAS functions, a 540° HD camera, power folding side mirrors, a power frunk, and Q Talk. The Chery Q Pure focuses on the driving essentials, with 16.5-minute fast charging, 6.6 kW V2L, multi-link suspension, a customizable UI head-unit, and 38 storage compartments.

Although categorized as a compact electric hatchback, the Chery Q offers dimensions that provide ample space for small families and daily commuting needs.
Key dimensions include:
These dimensions allow for a roomy cabin compared to many conventional city cars. The long wheelbase also contributes to improved comfort for rear-seat passengers.
The Chery Q is powered by a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) electric motor.
Like most EVs, the electric motor delivers instant torque, providing responsive acceleration and a smooth driving experience, especially in urban traffic conditions.
The official battery capacity for the Indonesian market has not yet been disclosed by Chery. What has been confirmed is that the Chery Q supports 30–80% fast charging in 16.5 minutes and offers a 6.6 kW V2L feature.
Driving range remains one of the most important considerations for EV buyers.
The Chery Q offers a driving range of up to 400 km based on the NEDC testing standard on a full charge.
Note that the 400 km figure uses the NEDC standard, which tends to be more optimistic than real-world testing. Even so, this range is more than sufficient for everyday urban use.
The Chery Q supports fast-charging technology.
According to available information, the battery can be charged from 30% to 80% in approximately 16.5 minutes when connected to a compatible fast charger.
This feature is particularly beneficial for drivers with busy schedules who want to minimize charging downtime.

Inside, the Chery Q adopts a smart cockpit concept focused on digital convenience and connectivity.
Notable features include:
The dashboard design is minimalist yet futuristic, creating a modern and comfortable cabin atmosphere.
The Chery Q is reported to come equipped with a comprehensive suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

Starting at IDR 239,900,000 (OTR Jakarta) for the Pure variant, the Chery Q offers a more accessible entry point into electric SUV ownership compared to many other EVs currently available in Indonesia.

Customers who pre-book the Chery Q Rizz receive a complimentary Sigma Package worth up to IDR 40 million. The package includes an Electric Power Tailgate, Autonomous Parking Assist, special-design 17-inch wheels, 50W Fast Wireless Charging, and Ambient Light — features that meaningfully enhance the ownership experience.
Despite its compact footprint, the Chery Q offers impressive practicality.
The vehicle reportedly includes:
These features make it a practical choice for daily commuting, shopping trips, and weekend getaways.
Its compact dimensions make the Chery Q easy to maneuver through congested city streets and fit into tight parking spaces. At the same time, the long wheelbase helps ensure a comfortable ride for passengers.
As a fully electric vehicle, the Chery Q eliminates fuel expenses and generally requires less maintenance than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. This can help reduce overall ownership costs over time.
Based on its specifications, features, and official pricing, the Chery Q has strong potential to become one of the most attractive entry-level electric vehicles in Indonesia.
