Customers across Nepal who booked the **Chery Q electric crossover** are now in a waiting phase as deliveries depend on limited trade routes with China.
Bookings and delivery plan
Pioneer Moto Corp, the official distributor of Chery in Nepal, has opened bookings for the Chery Q, with an estimated around 1,000 orders collected during the NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo and the recent NADA Auto Show.
The company says the cars have already left the factory in China and is targeting arrival in Kathmandu by the end of September 2026, subject to logistics.
Director Gaurav Sarada has stated that customers who booked earlier will be prioritized for delivery, and that the team is working on alternative arrangements to meet the end-September target.
Border situation affecting imports
Imports have been complicated because the Rasuwagadhi and Tatopani routes from China are currently not operating.
- Rasuwagadhi has been affected by flood damage to roads and infrastructure.
- Tatopani has been closed by Chinese authorities until further notice due to safety concerns.
At present, the Korala border point is the only functional route for bringing vehicles from China into Nepal, which is slowing the movement of the Chery Q units.
