Overview
- iCaur confirmed the V25 as its first Australian model on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, and will show the car publicly at Everything Electric Sydney from September 18–20 before opening showrooms in early 2027.
- Chinese regulatory filings describe a range‑extender (EREV) setup that pairs a 115 kW turbocharged 1.5‑litre petrol engine used solely as a generator with a 33.68 kWh LFP battery while electric motors drive the wheels.
- Higher‑output Chinese variants are listed with a dual‑motor system producing up to 335 kW and a claimed electric range of about 210 km on generous CLTC/WLTC cycles, but which powertrains and outputs will be offered in Australia remain unconfirmed.
- The V25 wears deliberately boxy, off‑road styling yet uses unibody construction with independent suspension; Chinese specs list a 4,636 mm length, 2,820 mm wheelbase, 197 mm ground clearance and boot capacity of 378 L expanding to 998 L.
- iCaur joins Chery’s growing stable of brands in Australia and has been testing an evaluation V25 locally, which suggests product validation is under way while pricing, final local equipment and advanced driver assist options are still to be announced.
