"The Chery QQ was originally an unauthorized copy of the Daewoo Matiz (known as the Chevrolet Spark in some markets). This new QQ3 hatchback is a unique design aimed right at the new market of subcompact Chinese hatchbacks. Battery size and range aren't announced yet, but power comes from a 121 horsepower motor powering the rear wheels. It's astonishing to watch the progression of China's automotive industry."
"Barely 20 years ago, the cars were laughing stocks of the whole world-terrible, cloned versions of cars that weren't all that great to begin with, sold to people who didn't have much money or know all that much about cars. Fast forward to today, and Chinese electric vehicles have become the darling of the globe, much to the chagrin of long-standing automakers. Now, the brands are even becoming self-referential to a point, relaunching old names and body styles for new audiences."
Chery revived the QQ3 name as a modern electric hatchback aimed at China's growing subcompact EV market. The new QQ3 adopts a contemporary electric-car aesthetic with a floating roof and familiar proportions. The drivetrain uses a 121 horsepower electric motor that powers the rear wheels, while battery capacity and driving range remain unannounced. The original Chery QQ had been an unauthorized copy of the Daewoo Matiz, sharing many design elements and interchangeable doors. Chery positions the QQ3 hatchback as a spiritual successor to the original hatchback rather than as the previous minicar variant. The small EV hatchback segment in China is expanding rapidly.
