The sun in Bangkok is scorching.

At the entrance of a mall on Sukhumvit Road, the queue took two irregular turns.

Funnily enough, aside from the Gen Z with ponytails scrolling through short videos, there were many middle-aged people with frost on their temples.

They were waiting for a small car called Chery Q.

This scene was just like 20 years ago when the old QQ first arrived, only back then the ones queuing were motorcycle drivers, now it's old neighbors who arrived in pickup trucks.

The muffled sound from tapping knuckles is an echo 20 years later.

The batch of people who drove the old QQ for motorcycle taxi services back then are now tapping their fingers on the A-pillar of the new car.

The integrated hot-formed door ring reaches a strength of 1300MPa. When you knock with your knuckles, the sound is muffled and solid.

Back then, the tin shell was for the sake of being cheap, now the car frame is for the sake of peace of mind.

The young guy in streetwear next to him didn't care about these things, he was staring at the cloud-pink-beige paint job.

It's the Kansai clear coat, the same as Ferrari's. There isn't a single orange peel texture under strong light.

It's true that this paint surface doesn't fade for ten years.

Mango sticky rice inside the 70L front trunk.

After picking up the car, Arlene didn't rush to leave.

She opened the front trunk with a click. With 70L capacity, she stuffed in the mango sticky rice she just bought, plus that longboard she prepared to use for surfing at the beach.

With a drainage hole design, even if you throw in a wet swimsuit, you don't have to worry about smells mixing.

She casually shouted a command at the rear of the car. The exterior voice response opened the front trunk a bit more immediately, causing those around to burst into laughter.

This feature, on the congested streets of Southeast Asia, is even more pleasing than automatic parking.

The Agile "Big Fella" in the Narrow Alley.

Alleys in old Bangkok are so narrow only one body can pass through.

This car's 3X wheelbase ratio played a big role, with a turning radius that is surprisingly small.

Front MacPherson, rear multi-link, rear-engine rear-drive, 50:50 weight distribution. It drives steadily as if stuck to the ground.

The rainy season is coming soon. The IP68 battery water resistance means no fear of wading.

The Rhino battery features liquid cooling, running from minus 40 degrees to 60 degrees, like giving the battery cell a temperature-constant coat.

Orders don't lie, but truly understanding you is the dealbreaker.

Order numbers don't lie.

3000 in Thailand, 6000 in Indonesia, 56,000 domestically in the first month.

Chery didn't play the customization game this time, with right-hand drive tuning. The chassis, battery, and cabin are almost identical to the domestic version.

From 2006 to 2026, a small car traversed 20 years. Relying not on flashy marketing, but on this solid quality, it firmly parked itself in the lives of two generations again.

What gets people hooked is never the parameters, but that considerate understanding of you.
