Sales have not started yet

According to the resource «Chinese Cars», Chery brought a very compact electric car eQ1 to Russia. 

We are not talking about sales yet — This is apparently a test copy that was brought into the country by a dealer. But at the same time, Chery has previously stated that the eQ1 will be sold in Russia.

Let us remember that this is a rather specific machine. Its dimensions are only 3200 × 1670 × 1550 mm with a wheelbase of 2150 mm. The car has rear seats, but these are nominal seats. Curb weight is 920 or 945 kg, depending on the version. 

eQ1 can be in two modifications with different electric motors. The basic version is equipped with a motor with a power of only 41 hp, and the second modification has a power only slightly higher — 49 hp In China there is a version with a 75-horsepower engine, but apparently it will not come to Russia.

According to the documents, the car accelerates from 0 to 50 km/h in 6 seconds, but from 50 to 80 km/h it will take another 7 seconds. 100 km/h here is the maximum speed that a car is capable of.

In China, they ask for a car from 830,000 rubles in equivalent. There is no data on Russian prices yet.
