EBRO is preparing one of the most significant launches since its return to the Spanish market. After beginning its new commercial phase with a range of gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid SUVs, the manufacturer is now moving on to fully electric vehicles with a compact model developed using technology from its Chinese partner Chery. This vehicle was already unveiled in Europe at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, though still under its original name, Chery Q.
The new electric vehicle will also be the smallest model in the EBRO range and mark the company’s entry into a segment entirely different from its current SUVs. The Spanish firm had already announced plans to produce an urban electric car at the facilities in Barcelona’s Free Zone, which were repurposed after the closure of the former Nissan factory. Its commercial launch is expected between late 2026 and early 2027, though its final name and prices in Spain are still to be confirmed.
The first EBRO electric vehicle will be 4.2 meters long
The vehicle unveiled by Chery in Paris measures 4,190 mm in length, 1,810 mm in width, and 1,560 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm. These dimensions place it in the compact urban vehicle segment, although its relatively generous cabin space allows for better utilization of available room for passengers. Its design features rounded shapes, oval headlights, smooth surfaces, and a five-door body style.
The interior features a minimalist design, with a large 15.6-inch central multimedia screen and an arrangement that significantly reduces the number of physical buttons. It also offers various storage solutions, including up to 38 compartments throughout the cabin and a 375-liter trunk, plus a small front loading area. Among the features shown on the Chinese model are advanced connectivity options, wireless charging for mobile phones, and various driving assistants, though it has not yet been confirmed which of these will be available in the Spanish version.
A 41 kWh battery and up to 400 kilometers of range
The first EBRO electric vehicle, based on the specifications of the Chery model, will feature an engine located in the rear axle that produces 122 horsepower. It will be powered by a 41 kWh battery, which the manufacturer claims will offer up to 400 kilometers of range. However, this figure is based on the old NEDC cycle, which is considerably more optimistic than the WLTP standard currently used in Europe. Therefore, the final homologated range for Spain is still pending confirmation.
Regarding charging, Chery claims the battery can recover 30 to 80% of its capacity in less than 17 minutes, though it has not disclosed the maximum allowable power. It also features V2L technology, which allows the energy stored in the battery to be used to power external electrical devices. These features underscore its positioning as a vehicle for daily use, suitable for both urban commuting and intercity trips.
Manufactured in Barcelona with a price aimed at being affordable
The assembly of EBRO’s first electric car is scheduled for late 2026 at the former Nissan factory in Barcelona’s Free Zone. The brand plans to launch it between the end of this year and early 2027, though it has not yet revealed its final name or a specific date for taking orders. There is also no official price for Spain, although EBRO has emphasized that its goal is to offer an affordable electric vehicle aimed at those who want to adopt this technology without making a large investment.
