Carloha Nigeria, the official franchise holder, assembler, and authorised distributor of Chery vehicles in Nigeria, has announced the nationwide availability of the Chery Q. This electric vehicle aims to expand access to intelligent and practical electric mobility for Nigerian motorists. The Chery Q is designed to meet the needs of young professionals, growing families, first-time electric vehicle buyers, and urban motorists seeking a cleaner and more connected driving experience.
The Chery Q has received international recognition for its design, including the Red Dot Design Award and iF Design Award. Its exterior features geometric styling, rounded LED lighting, and a modern two-tone interior. Despite its compact dimensions, the vehicle offers an 85 per cent space-efficiency ratio, measuring 4,195mm in length with a 2,700mm wheelbase. This provides ample passenger space and a luggage capacity that can be increased from 375 litres to 1,450 litres.
The Chery Q is built on a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive platform with independent suspension and balanced weight distribution. Its Electric Power Steering and One-Box Brake-by-Wire system aim to improve handling, braking response, and energy recovery. The vehicle offers an estimated 400-kilometre NEDC driving range, while its fast-charging capability can recharge the battery from 30 per cent to 80 per cent in approximately 16.5 minutes.
The Chery Q features Vehicle-to-Load technology, enabling owners to use the vehicle to power compatible electrical devices and outdoor equipment. Inside the cabin, the vehicle is equipped with a 15.6-inch high-definition touchscreen powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor. Other technology features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, intelligent voice control, 50W wireless charging, smartphone integration, and remote vehicle management through a mobile application.
Safety features of the Chery Q include a Level 2 Intelligent Driver Assistance System with more than 20 advanced functions. These features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Intelligent High Beam Control, a 540-degree panoramic camera, and Automated Parking Assist. Carloha Nigeria aims to provide additional assistance to motorists in traffic, parking, and other everyday driving situations.
Carloha Nigeria is positioning its CarlohaCare 6-6-7 aftersales programme as a key part of the Chery Q ownership proposition. The programme offers customers a six-year warranty, six years of free scheduled servicing up to 120,000 kilometres, and a seven-day repair promise. Where a repair is not completed within seven days, the company will provide a courtesy vehicle. Additionally, Carloha has introduced CarlohaCare 6-6-7 Rescue, which provides roadside assistance and a 24-hour assistance line for Chery customers.
General Manager, Marketing, Carloha Nigeria, Felix Mahan, stated that the nationwide availability of the Chery Q marked the fulfilment of the company’s commitment to expanding electric mobility options in Nigeria. The Chery Q is now available at Carloha showrooms nationwide, giving Nigerian motorists another option in the growing electric vehicle market.
