Chery eQ7: electric crossover, its range and what the buyer should know
Chery eQ7 — a compact electric crossover produced since 2023. In this article, we look at how it differs from the eQ5, its power and range, and what to know when buying used.
eQ7 in brief
The eQ7 is Chery's electric compact crossover, essentially the same as the eQ5 but with a revised front end and rear bumper. Dimensions are almost identical, but the look is updated and the interior more modern.
In some markets, it's sold under different names, for example, Chery Tiggo 6 (for export) or Aiqar eQ7. Therefore, you might encounter different names for the same car in listings.
Who's it for?
The eQ7 suits those who need an affordable electric crossover for daily city use and short trips. It's not a sporty model but a calm, comfortable electric car.
A suitable choice for those who can charge at home or at work.
Electric drivetrain and charging
The eQ7 has a single rear-wheel electric motor: power is around 184 hp (135 kW) or around 211 hp (155 kW). Top speed is around 180 km/h, and 0-100 km/h takes about 8 seconds.
Two battery options are offered — around 54 and 67 kWh. According to the Chinese CLTC cycle, range reaches 412 and 512 km, but in reality, it's significantly lower and depends on speed and weather conditions.
What to check when buying a used eQ7
The most important thing is the battery condition: ask for a diagnostic report, check charging from slow and fast stations, and ensure all functions work.
Find out if the car has European market approval and where it can be serviced. Check the availability of spare parts and warranty conditions.
