ICAUR brand launches in Dubai
Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Chery Group officially launched its new brand, 'iCAUR', in Dubai, marking a significant strategic push into the Middle East. The debut featured the global unveiling of two key SUV models, 'V27 ＆ 03T' and outlined ambitious expansion plans for the middle east region. iCAUR V27 & 03T: Hybrid Innovation Meets J-Style Design Philosophy At the launch, two new SUV models - the iCAUR V27 and iCAUR 03T were unveiled with technical specifications confirming their adoption of advanced range-extender Hybrid powertrains designed to optimize performance and driving range. Visually, the V27 and 03T emphasize a distinctive, boxy silhouette - a core element of iCAUR's "J-Style" design philosophy. This approach is explicitly tailored to resonate with style-conscious and youthful Middle Eastern buyers seeking standout presence. As iCAUR's first mid-to-large SUV, the V27 REEV blends retro aesthetics with modern technology, creating a striking visual identity defined by rugged character. Measuring over 5 meters in length and nearly 2 meters in both width and height, this model conveys a firm stance. The V27 also offers exceptional range performance, eliminating anxiety on long journeys. Its golden REEV powertrain ensures stable, consistent power delivery, even in complex terrain conditions. The iCAUR 03T REEV is a smart boxy SUV equipped with a class-leading i-AWD system. It dynamically adjusts power distribution for optimum traction and stability. Featured a pioneering all-aluminum multi-cavity cage body and a comprehensive active safety system includes 11 active safety features, the 03T REEV model is aimed to offer a worry-free drive where enjoyment takes the front seat. Brand Launch: Modular Design and AI-Robotics Driven New Ecosystem Model This launch event unveiled the customization ecosystem of iCAUR featuring three core configurations (pickup, convertible, space exploration) with technical specifications including quick-release fenders, LEGO-inspired brake lamp assemblies, and 100+ plug-and-play accessories via standardized interfaces. The demonstration also integrated the AiMOGA humanoid AI robot's operational capabilities across smart mobility and lifestyle scenarios, presenting a prototype framework for personalized automotive adaptation. This platform establishes iCAUR's strategic positioning youth-oriented EV market through scalable hardware architecture and AI-enabled interface solutions. It will meet the demand of consumers in the Middle East for personalized products and intelligent lifestyle. Middle East Market Expansion: Regional Partnerships Align with Grand GCC Vision During the event, Mr. Zhang Xiaolong, General Manager of Chery International Middle East, outlined iCAUR's aggressive regional roadmap. The brand has secured cooperation intentions with three leading distributors, laying the groundwork for rapid market penetration. Initial rollouts will target UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain by late 2025, with plans to expand across the middle east nations. 'Our goal is to make iCAUR the most desirable automotive brand in the Middle East,' stated Mr. Zhang. 'We aim to cultivate a vibrant, culturally attuned community that celebrates individuality and cutting-edge design.' According to official data, by the end of June 2025, Chery Group had cumulatively exported 5 million vehicles to overseas markets, making it the first Chinese automaker to achieve this milestone. As a key component of the group's global strategy, the iCAUR brand will focus on the Middle East as its core market, offering consumers a new and innovative travel experience.

iCaur V27: Chery takes on Toyota LandCruiser with range-extender EV
Chery has taken the wraps off the 2026 iCaur V27 SUV, a flagship Toyota LandCruiser-sized SUV due on sale in China by the end of 2025 but not yet confirmed for Australia. The large SUV is more than five metres long and uses an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain for a claimed 200km of electric range, with pricing expected to be the equivalent of $43,000 to $54,000 in China, according Revealed in the United Arab Emirates, the V27 comes from Chery-owned brand iCar, renamed iCaur for countries outside China to avoid potential trademark issues. The iCaur brand was confirmed for Australia by Chery International president Zhang Guibling at the 2025 Shanghai motor show in April. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. While the iCaur brand's local launch timing hasn't been revealed, the Suzuki Jimny-sized V23 small SUV (pictured below) is expected to be the first model in local showrooms – and the V27 could be next. Chery Australia has been more circumspect about iCaur's future in Australia. A company spokesperson told CarExpert: "We have no news to share on the iCaur brand in Australia, but we are constantly evaluating what is available from our extensive global model lineups that Australian buyers are looking for." The brand exclusively offers electric vehicles (EVs) and EREVs, with the V27 launched with a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and single-electric motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. Chery confirmed the dual-motor AWD V27 will offer as much as 335kW of power and an estimated 200km range (CLTC) under electric power. The V27's boxy styling apes the Land Rover Defender, with the squared-off body decorated with round LED headlights, wheel-arch flares and tailgate mounted 'squircle' spare wheel. iCar/iCaur also offers the electric 03 SUV (pictured below), sold in Thailand as the Jaecoo 6 EV. Omoda Jaecoo was introduced in Australia earlier this year as Chery's second brand here, but the Chinese automaker has a bevy of other ones overseas including not only iCar/iCaur but also Exeed, Jetour and Karry, among others. Chery reported its best monthly sales yet in Australia in July 2025 – its fourth consecutive month of record sales – for its namesake brand. It recorded 267.4 per cent year-on-year growth to be the 11th most-popular brand, behind Subaru.
