Overview

iCAUR V25 platform and positioning

The iCAUR V25 is a boxy, off-road-styled mid-size SUV from Chery’s iCAUR brand, sold in China under the brand’s domestic name, iCar. It slots between the smaller V23 and the larger V27 in the lineup, measuring 4,636 mm long, 1,920 mm wide and 1,855 mm tall on a 2,820 mm wheelbase, with 197 mm of ground clearance and seating for five.

iCAUR V25 powertrain

The V25 uses a range-extender (EREV) powertrain: a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine, rated at 115 kW (154 hp), acts only as a generator for a 33.68 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery, which then drives the electric motors. The rear-wheel-drive version runs 150 km of WLTC electric-only range and 6.9 L/100km once the engine is charging the battery; the all-wheel-drive version trims that to 145 km and 7.15 L/100km for the added hardware. Top speed is 180 km/h, and an optional towing package raises capacity to 1,800 kg.

Inside the iCAUR V25

Design leans into a squared-off, retro-off-road look, with round headlights set into a boxy grille, exposed door hinges and full-width taillights. A roof-mounted LiDAR unit is available for driver-assistance features, running on Horizon Journey 6 hardware. Chery has not yet released interior photos or cabin specification.

iCAUR V25 price and trims

The V25 was revealed in China in August 2026, ahead of a launch ceremony before the end of 2026 where Chery is expected to confirm pricing and full specification. iCAUR has signalled export plans for markets including Malaysia, the Middle East and Australia, where the V25 gets a public showing at Everything Electric Sydney on 18-20 September 2026 ahead of commercial sales targeted for early 2027.

Frequently asked questions

What is the range of the iCAUR V25?
The iCAUR V25 offers up to 150 km of range on the WLTC cycle.
What battery does the iCAUR V25 have?
The iCAUR V25 uses a 33.68 kWh battery.
What type of car is the iCAUR V25?
The iCAUR V25 is a Mid-size SUV.
Is the iCAUR V25 the same car as the iCar V25?
Yes. The iCAUR V25 is sold in China under the brand's domestic name, iCar, and everywhere else as iCAUR - the same car under two market names, a split that applies to the whole iCAUR lineup.
Is the iCAUR V25 a plug-in hybrid or fully electric?
Neither in the usual sense. The V25 is a range-extender EV (EREV) - a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine only ever charges the battery and never drives the wheels directly, so it behaves like an EV with a built-in generator rather than a conventional plug-in hybrid.
Where does the iCAUR V25 sit in the iCAUR lineup?
It slots between the smaller, battery-electric V23 and the larger, range-extender V27, positioned as a mid-size off-road-styled SUV.
Are interior photos of the iCAUR V25 available yet?
Not at this stage - only exterior studio images have been released so far; this page will be updated with interior photos once they become available.
When does the iCAUR V25 go on sale, and where?
China pricing and full specification are due at a launch ceremony before the end of 2026. Australia gets a public showing at Everything Electric Sydney on 18-20 September 2026, with iCAUR targeting commercial sales and first deliveries there in early 2027.
