  Teased since May, the iCaur V27 has finally been unveiled in Dubai. According to Car News China, iCaur’s largest model to date is expected to launch in China in the fourth quarter. Estimated prices are RMB200k-250k (RM118k-147k).

  It’s a nearly-five-metre-long range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) with a 1.5 litre turbo engine, allowing a circa-200-km EV-only CLTC range. No battery details yet, but CNC says rear- and all-wheel drive versions will be offered, with the latter giving you about 455 PS altogether.

  

  Boxy, boxy, boxy – CEO Su Jun called it the ‘Chinese G-Class‘ or ‘new energy vehicle (NEV) Land Cruiser‘. The only round things we can see on it are the LED DRLs and wheels – even the tailgate-mounted spare tyre cover is rectangular, as on the Chery sub-brand’s other models. The glass roof is rather uniquely split down the middle.

  Along the side you can see roof rails, a ruler-straight shoulder line, an upright glasshouse, D-pillar vents, angular flared wheel arches and side steps. There doesn’t seem to be a rear shot yet (outside of the previously-released teasers which you can see below), but CNC mentions vertically-stacked rectangular tail lamps and a rugged-looking rear bumper. Want this to join the 03, 03T and V23 in Malaysia?

• iCar V27 teased again – debut in Dubai on August 1

  In Cars, iCaur, International News / By Gerard Lye / 31 July 2025 12:05 pm / 4 comments

  

  iCar (iCaur to us in Malaysia) has announced it will reveal the V27 on August 1, 2025 in Dubai. To go along with the announcement, the Chery sub-brand released more teaser images of its upcoming model, although we already (mostly) know what it’ll look like thanks to spyshots of uncamouflaged examples.

  Nicknamed the “Chinese G-Class” or “new energy vehicle (NEV) Land Cruiser” by iCar CEO SO Jun, the V27’s design is clearly inspired by those models, with notable cues being a boxy silhouette, circular daytime running lights, layered front grille, external spare tyre, flared fenders and various squared-off panels.

  The V27 is claimed to be the brand’s largest offering, with reports indicating an overall length of around 4.9 metres. For context, the 03 is about 4.4 metres while the V23 is around 4.2 metres.

  

  As for the powertrain, the V27 is expected to be an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) with a 1.5 litre turbocharged engine serving as a generator for a battery the powers the electric motors. Rear- and all-wheel drive variants are said to be offered, the latter with as much as 455 PS (449 hp or 335 kW). On pure electricity alone, the range is claimed to be up to 200 km following the CLTC standard.

  CarNewsChina estimates the V27 to be priced between 200,000 and 250,000 yuan (about RM119k and RM148k), which would make it the most expensive model in the line-up when it goes on sale sometime in 2025.

• iCar V27 spied without camouflage – EREV off-roader to be brand’s largest model; to debut in Q4 2025

  In Cars, iCaur, International News / By Mick Chan / 25 July 2025 6:45 pm / 2 comments

  

  Spy images of the iCar (we know the brand as iCaur in Malaysia) V27 without camouflage have been revealed by Inside China Auto on X/Twitter, offering a better look at the exterior details of the SUV that was teased in May, ahead of its planned debut in the fourth quarter of this year.

  Here, the spy images show a range of details previously concealed by the camouflage foil, such as what appears to be the indicator housing that is separate from the main headlamp assembly. Meanwhile, the five-spoke wheels appear similar to those on the camouflaged unit shown previously, and is shown in these newer images in a matte black finish.

  The yellow unit photographed here also sports a pair of side steps, which were not shown on the previous, camouflaged example. Towards the rear of the V27, the rear end of the daylight opening is shown to have a thick D-pillar, with a slim strip just ahead of the tailgate edge.

  

  

  

  Exterior styling cues already revealed previously include large side mirrors, a side-hinged tailgate (with attached storage box), vertical taillights and rectangular headlamp clusters with integrated circular LED daytime running lights.

  The V27 will be the third model in the brand’s line-up after the 03/03T and V23, the duo which brings rugged off-roader styling, as does the V27.

  From prior information from the Chinese ministry of industry and information technology (MIIT), the V27 will be the largest of the iCar/iCaur trio, as this is said to have an overall length of around 4.9 metres, whereas the 03 measures about 4.4 metres long, and the V23 around 4.2 metres long.

  Powertrain for the V27 is expected to be a 1.5 litre turbocharged engine that serves as a generator as part of an EREV configuration, and is said to offer rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive variants with a pure electric range of around 200 km on the CLTC testing protocol.

• iCar V27 teased ahead of debut – EREV off-roader nicknamed the “Chinese G-Class/NEV Land Cruiser”

  In Cars, iCaur, International News / By Gerard Lye / 20 May 2025 9:56 am / 1 comment

  

  iCar (we know it as iCaur in Malaysia) CEO Su Jun recently took to Weibo to tease the V27, an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) that he nicknamed the “Chinese G-Class” or “new energy vehicle (NEV) Land Cruiser.” According to CarNewsChina, the V27 is slated to be launched in Q4 this year.

  The V27 will be the third model in the iCar line-up after the 03/03T and V23, and like those models, it will appear as a rugged off-roader. Pending information from the Chinese ministry of industry and information technology (MIIT), the upcoming model will reportedly be the brand’s largest offering with an overall length of around 4.9 metres. For context, the 03 is about 4.4 metres while the V23 is around 4.2 metres.

  Spyshots posted by Chinese media indicate the V27 will be a boxy vehicle with large bumpers and pronounced wheel arches. Other cues include large side mirrors, a side-hinged tailgate (with attached storage box), vertical taillights and rectangular headlamp clusters with integrated circular LED daytime running lights.

  As for the powertrain, the EREV system used by the V27 is expected to have a 1.5 litre turbocharged engine serving as a generator. Rear- and all-wheel drive configurations are said to be offered, along with an electric-only range of around 200 km following the CLTC standard. Pricing is claimed to be between 200,000 and 250,000 yuan (about RM119k and RM149k), making it the most expensive model in the range.
