The range of the Little Ant is 301.0 kilometers. Below is the relevant information: Introduction: The new Chery Little Ant has a similar exterior design to the previous model, with upgrades and optimizations in details such as the headlights, logos, and wheel rims. Compared to the largely unchanged exterior, the interior of the new Chery Little Ant has undergone significant modifications, with an overall texture that is much better than the previous model. Configuration: In terms of configuration, it offers new additions such as an electronic handbrake, wireless phone charging, auto hold, voice assistant, and a digital instrument cluster. The layout of the digital instrument cluster has been improved compared to the previous model, with more organized information display, and the central content can be customized.

I just bought a Little Ant last year as my grocery-getter, and now there are several versions of this car available. The most classic one has a 301km range, but in real-world driving, it's around 250km or so. With the AC on in summer, it drops to about 220km. My daily commute is 40km round trip, so charging once a week is more than enough. The new top-end model hides a 400km version with a CATL battery pack, and my neighbor's car actually clocked 380km last week. If you mainly drive around the city, charging three times a month is quite hassle-free. It can fast-charge to 80% in half an hour, and a full charge overnight on a slow charger in the neighborhood is no problem. Just be aware that the battery drains faster in winter, but having a garage reduces the impact significantly.

During car evaluations, we tested three Little Ant models, and the actual range was quite interesting. The model with a claimed 301km range achieved 218km with the air conditioning at full blast in 35℃ high temperatures, while in autumn and winter without AC, it could reach around 270km. The high-end 408km version uses ternary lithium batteries and is more energy-efficient in low-speed urban conditions. It's highly recommended to opt for models with a liquid temperature control system, as the battery insulation technology can increase winter range by 15%. This small car's rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout makes it very agile, but don't expect sporty driving—its range is most solid at a steady 60km/h. Weighing just over 1 ton, the lightweight design greatly benefits its range.

Last week, I accompanied my daughter to look at cars, and the 4S store salesperson mentioned that the current main versions of the Little Ant are the 30 kWh and 40 kWh models. The older NEDC 301 km version typically achieves around 230 km in real-world driving, while the newer CLTC 408 km version can go about 350 km. The lithium iron phosphate version is sensitive to cold, with range potentially dropping to 70% at -5°C. The short body allows for fast charging, reaching 80% in 40 minutes on a DC charger, making it convenient for charging during shopping trips. The all-aluminum body is energy-efficient and durable, and the rear seat can accommodate a child safety seat, making it much safer than a motorcycle for picking up and dropping off kids.
