The Ant model belongs to the new energy vehicle category and does not have a fuel version. Introduction to the Ant: The Chery Ant is a small pure electric vehicle produced by Chery New Energy. Inheriting the genes of 'Technological Chery,' the Chery New Energy Ant is built on the LFS pure electric platform. In terms of appearance, the Ant 20 Fan Edition inherits high-value genes, featuring a smiling front face adorned with angel-eye headlights. Regarding range, the Ant 20 Fan Edition adds a model with a NEDC range of 408km.

As a tech enthusiast, I'm particularly interested in automotive powertrains. The Chery Ant currently only offers a pure electric version, with no fuel-powered variant available. Its core design is based on an electric motor and lithium battery platform, which means it doesn't require an engine or transmission, achieving zero emissions and responsive driving. For urban use, it offers a range of around 300 kilometers, sufficient for daily commuting; charging is also flexible, with options for home or public charging stations. In contrast, a fuel-powered version would increase vehicle weight, cost, and exhaust pollution, so Chery is focusing on the electric direction. Users might mistakenly think there's a fuel option due to habitual refueling convenience, but electric offers better economy, and future new energy policies further support this trend. If there are any doubts, you can check Chery's official website for the latest updates.
As an experienced car owner who has driven many vehicles, I have personally tested the Chery Ant. I must say, it currently doesn't have a fuel version—the entire lineup is purely electric. In terms of operating costs, my average electricity expense is less than 0.5 yuan per kilometer, much cheaper than refueling. Maintenance is also simpler, without the frequent oil changes required by fuel cars. Some might expect a fuel version for faster refueling, but charging at home is actually quite convenient. Chery might have considered market demand or environmental policies, offering only the electric version. In the long run, this decision benefits users because electric cars are more cost-effective and have lower failure rates. In short, the absence of a fuel version isn't an issue—the electric Ant is super practical for urban commuting.
