PARIS: EV brand Skywell has unveiled its Q hatchback at the 2024 Paris Motor Show.
The agile and athletic new model is Skywell’s first car to make its global debut in Europe.
In true Skywell fashion, the Skywell Q is underpinned by its durability, extensive warranty and generous equipment levels, which includes the large opening ‘Skyroof’, a large 15.6-inch touchscreen display and a 360-degree panoramic parking camera.
There will be a choice of two battery options with the larger battery offering a combined range of over 300 miles and a recharge time of around 20 minutes (10% to 80% at 25°C), while the spirited 150kW motor propels the Q to 62mph in just 3.9 seconds via the front wheels.
Measuring 4,297mm long, 1,836mm wide and 1,536mm high, the Q sits firmly in the popular ‘Class C’ family car segment.
The sleek and energetic design, which is underpinned by the low profile, dynamic front LED lightbar and 18-inch alloy wheels, has been inspired by the ‘Skyhome’ concept.
The Q has a large Skyroof, composite fibre panelling, 128-colour ambient lighting and orange accents on the upholstery and dashboard.
Through Skywell’s consumer electronics heritage, the Q boasts a superior infotainment system which, in addition to the large 15.6-inch touchscreen display, consists of the premium German-engineered Metz sound system with 8 speakers, wireless smartphone connectivity and touchscreen displays for rear seat occupants.
Other key features include the wireless phone charging and the 220v socket for charging larger electrical items like laptops.
The Q also features a comprehensive ADAS package to increase safety and comfort, including Intelligent Cruise Assist (ICA), Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEBS), Lane Keep Assist (LKA) and Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA).
The Q will be backed by Skywell’s extensive industry-leading 7-year, 100,000-mile warranty and an additional 8-year, 155,000-mile warranty for the battery.
