Upcoming Chery Cars in South Africa: Chery Q and Tiggo V
The electric Chery Q has a local launch window, starting-price claim and pre-order package. Chery has also previewed the Tiggo V for local use and published initial technical facts, but not a launch date or price.
Three different stages—not three ways to say “available”
A local announcement, an open pre-order and a delivered showroom car are different events. These labels describe only what the cited South African source proves.
The South African manufacturer or importer has named the vehicle and published a local launch window.
The local order or reservation process has opened. This does not by itself confirm first delivery or general showroom availability.
The vehicle appears in an official South African source, but that source does not publish a local launch date.

Chery Q
Published timing: Beginning of September 2026
Chery South Africa has announced a local introduction, an advertised starting price and a pre-order package. Final derivative pricing and specifications remain pending.
- Chery says the fully electric Q will be introduced at the beginning of September 2026, with pricing starting at R350,000.
- The announcement lists a 90 kW motor, 42.7 kWh battery and a claimed range of up to 400 km on the NEDC test cycle.
- Chery announced a pre-order package with a vehicle warranty, charging equipment and customer benefit choices.
- The complete derivative price list and exact standard equipment by grade.
- Final on-the-road pricing and individual pre-order terms.
- Real-world driving range, which can differ from the published NEDC claim.
Chery Tiggo V
Published timing: Coming soon; no date published
Chery South Africa previewed the Tiggo V at its Rosslyn plant as part of its future local new-energy strategy. That supports initial model facts, but not a launch date or a final retail range.
- Chery South Africa previewed the Tiggo V locally on 3 July 2026 as a future-focused new-energy model.
- The official preview describes a three-row, seven-seat family SUV with a 2,800 mm wheelbase.
- Chery identifies its sixth-generation CSH hybrid system, 220 mm ground clearance, Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking.
- The South African launch date and first-delivery timing.
- Final local derivatives and homologated specifications.
- Rand pricing, warranty, service-plan and standard-equipment details.
Should you wait?
For the Q, distinguish the advertised starting price from final derivative and on-the-road pricing, and compare the NEDC range claim only on the same test cycle. Do not plan a Tiggo V purchase until Chery publishes a dated local launch and range.
Your current transport is safe and affordable, the announced vehicle materially suits you better, and you can absorb a change in timing or price.
You need dependable transport soon and a current vehicle meets the job at a sensible written total cost. Do not compare that real quote with an invented future price.

Does the Chery Q have a 400 km real-world range?
