KUALA LUMPUR, May 9 — Chery sub-brand, iCaur has confirmed that the iCaur 03 electric SUV will be making its way to Malaysia in Q3 this year. If this EV looked rather familiar to you, that might be because it was shown during last year's edition of Malaysia Autoshow as the Jaecoo J6.
iCaur 03 Malaysia Pricing
At Malaysia Autoshow 2025, iCaur made it clear that the brand is ready to launch the iCaur 03 in our market. It will be available in two variants:
iCaur 03 2WD: RM145,000
iCaur 03 iWD: RM155,000
Bookings are already open with a refundable deposit of RM1,000. Customers that place their bookings at Malaysia Autoshow 2023 will be provided with limited-edition iCaur 03 scale model alongside the actual EV when the delivery starts later this year.
iCaur 03 quick specs
The iCaur 03 is around 4.4m long, 1.9m wide, and 1.7m tall with a wheelbase of around 2.7m. It also features a 264L boot space alongside 19-inch wheels together with McPherson struts on the front and a multi-link suspension system on the back.
The iCar 03 2WD comes with a single rear-mounted 135kW (181hp) motor that also produces 220Nm of torque. The iCaur 03 2WD is powered by a 65.7kWh LFP battery, which allows it to deliver an NEDC-rated range of 426km or around 362km if you convert that figure to WLTP.
As for iCaur 03 iWD, it has two motors that deliver a combined output of 205kW (275hp) alongside 385Nm torque. This variant also has a slightly bigger battery capacity at 69.8kWh but has a shorter NEDC-rated range of 418km or 355km when you convert to WLTP.
Charging-wise, the EV supports DC charging speed of up to 80kW, which allows the iCaur 03 to be charged from 30 per cent to 80 per cent in 30 minutes. It has also been equipped with a single-phase 6.6kW AC charging module and can be used to power up external appliances via its 3.3kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) feature.
In terms of tech features, the iCaur 03 comes standard with a 9.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.6-inch infotainment display with support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It has also been fitted with a 12-speaker surround sound system from Infinity.
When it comes to safety, there are 6 airbags within the EV, together with a 540-degree camera system that also includes the 'Transparent Chassis' feature. As you may expect, the iCaur 03 also features an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) suite with Level 2.5 autonomous driving capability.

Ringgit eyes stability next week as markets await US CPI, PPI

KUALA LUMPUR, June 7 — The ringgit is likely to trade around RM4.22 to RM4.23 next week, said an analyst. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said that next week multiple United States (US) economic data will be out, namely the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) for the month of May which plays a key role in shaping the market. 'While the data might show deceleration in inflation rate, the US Federal Reserve is likely to stay cautious as it is wary about the potential inflationary pressures arising from the tariff shocks. 'Already, responses from the US Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Index survey indicated that businesses have become more pessimistic as the higher tariffs have affected the supply chains and resulted in higher operating costs,' he told Bernama. The ringgit ended the week higher against the US dollar, closing at 4.2270/2360 on Friday from 4.2530/2605 a week earlier. The local note traded mostly higher against a basket of major currencies. The ringgit rose vis-à-vis the Japanese yen to 2.9324/9390 from 2.9531/9585 and inched higher against the British pound to 5.7212/7334 from 5.7284/7385 a week earlier. However, it depreciated versus the euro to 4.8268/8371 at Friday's close from 4.8169/8254 at the end of last week. The ringgit traded mostly higher against Asean currencies. The local note improved against the Singapore dollar to 3.2862/2934 on Friday from 3.2938/3002 the previous week, edged higher versus the Indonesian rupiah to 259.5/260.2 from 260.4/261.1 and stronger vis-a-vis the Philippine peso to 7.58/7.60 from 7.62/7.64 a week before, However, it weakened versus the Thai baht to 12.9599/9947 from 12.9507/9790 last week. — Bernama

Middle East-based engineer loses RM1.5m in online investment scheme, discovers scam only after failed withdrawal attempt

BUKIT MERTAJAM, June 7 — An engineer working in the Middle East lost over RM1.5 million to an online investment scam recently. Penang police chief Datuk Hamzah Ahmad sad the victim, 40, lodged a report with the Central Seberang Perai district police headquarters commercial crimes investigation division yesterday. 'In November last year the man got to know a woman through the phone and had a relationship before the woman invited him to join an investment scheme called GoldenCrimson that offered handsome returns. 'The man was interested to invest and was given a customer service number and a website link to register, and he invested RM90,510 and received returns of RM108,611,' he said in a statement tonight. The man grew confident in the scheme and made 103 transactions to 31 different accounts totalling RM1,532,563 from Dec 2 to March 8, and realised he was scammed when he failed to withdraw RM4,131,671 through the app but was asked instead to provide additional capital to be able to withdraw his profits. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code. — Bernama
