Chery reaffirms its confidence in long-term business operations with accumulated sales of over 5,500 units in the first half of the year and over 11,000 accumulated bookings. The company is moving forward with the construction of a new car assembly plant in Rayong province, with an investment of over THB 5 billion on 104 rai of land, to serve as a key production base in the region.
Additionally, there are plans to expand the 3S showroom and service center network from the current 55 locations to 70 nationwide by the end of 2026. Furthermore, the brand is set to upgrade its after-sales service by launching a Certified Body and Paint repair center this August, coupled with expanding its spare parts warehouse in the Bangna-Trad area to 10,000 square meters, and investing THB 34 million in establishing a Technical Training Center to enhance long-term customer care efficiency.

The announcement of the Chery Q 2026's pricing structure, ranging from mid-400,000 to early 500,000 Baht, is an aggressive strategy by Chery to disrupt the entry-level EV and small hatchback segment in Thailand. The choice of a Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) system with 122 hp motor power is an engineering characteristic that differentiates it from most competitors in a similar price range, which often focus on front-wheel drive and less power.
Considering the abundant convenience options included, such as Automatic Parking Assist (APA), a high-power V2L system up to 6.6 kW, and electric tailgates and front storage compartments, the car offers excellent value for money.
The introduction of a Lifetime Warranty campaign for the battery and electric motor, coupled with the announcement of progress on the domestic assembly plant in Rayong province, including a technical training center, indicates Chery's efforts to address concerns about brand stability and long-term after-sales service, which are significant obstacles for Thai consumers when deciding on new Chinese brands.
However, how prepared and efficient the spare parts distribution process will be, in conjunction with the new body and paint repair center launching in August, to support and serve the growing volume of the brand's car users comprehensively and quickly, amidst a fiercely competitive market for after-sales satisfaction, remains to be seen.
With its accessible price and interesting RWD specifications, how much market share will the Chery Q 2026 capture in the City EV segment, and will it successfully meet the needs of the new generation looking for their first electric car? What are your thoughts, readers? Feel free to comment.
