Q7 vs Emeya FAQ
How long does charging take?
The Emeya's 102.0 kWh battery takes about 4.6 hours for a full AC charge, and an estimated 15 minutes from 10% to 80% on a DC fast charger at its 420 kW peak.
Which one is locally assembled?
The Q7 is assembled in Malaysia (CKD), while the Emeya is fully imported (CBU) from China. Local assembly generally helps pricing and spare-parts supply, and CKD programmes usually signal a longer-term commitment to the model here.
