Rumoured for South Africa iCaur V25 detailed as sales start in China
Social reports from Chery's annual International User Summit have alleged the V25 as having received the nod for South Africa in 2027.
On 18 October, iCaur unveiled the iCaur V25 at the International User Summit in Wuhu, China. The new model is positioned as an alternative to the electric V23, with an added range-extending electric powertrain. The V25 and V23 share the same platform, but the V25 is longer, wider, and has a higher ground clearance. It comes in four trim levels: Pro, Max, Max+, and Ultra.
The V25's exterior design features an open grille, exhaust outlets, a new bonnet, and altered LED headlights. Inside, it retains the 15.4-inch infotainment display, but replaces the optional digital instrument cluster binnacle with a standard one. The most notable upgrade inside is the new, bulkier center console. The V25 can be powered by either a single or dual motor electric powertrain.
The single motor version delivers 185kW/300Nm of power and has an electric range of 210 km and combined range of 1 240 km. The dual motor version adds a second motor, offering 335kW/505Nm of power and a slightly reduced electric range of 200 km and combined range of 1 210 km. Both versions are supplemented by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, functioning solely as a generator.
The V25 is expected to be priced between R343,204 and R431,583 in South Africa, assuming official approval is granted by iCaur South Africa.
