Chery does not build many cars like the Chery QQ Ice Cream: a 3-door hatchback, built from 2021 in the decade the industry is turning electric.

Where it came from

The Chery QQ Ice Cream (Chinese: 奇瑞 QQ 冰淇淋; pinyin: Qíruì QQ Bīngqílín) is a battery electric city car manufactured by Chery since 2021.

Under the skin

it is rated at 20 kW (27 hp. Kerb weight is 699-778 kg. Power-to-weight lands near 29 horsepower per tonne, which is leisurely, which for a car of its age and purpose is the point. The gearbox is a 1-speed direct-drive. The wheelbase is 1960 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

In context

Where it sits in Chery's history is not in doubt: it was built at China. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Toyota C+pod, the Dacia Spring, the JAC Group Sehol E10X. Nearby in the Chery catalogue sit the Chery Arrizo 5 GT and the Chery A1.
