Start with what the Chery eQ1 is: a 3-door hatchback, built from 2017, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. What it meant takes a little longer.
What is underneath
the output is 30 kW. On the scales it comes to 975-1275 kg. That is roughly 31 horsepower per tonne: leisurely, which for a car of its age and purpose is the point. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 2150 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
In the Chery line-up the Chery eQ1 has a clear place: the factory was China. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Honda N-Van, the Daihatsu Move Canbus, the Daihatsu Thor. Nearby in the Chery catalogue sit the Chery Arrizo 5 GT and the Chery A1.
