According to Chery Holding Group Co Ltd (Chery Group) on August 21, the iCAR V25 range-extended electric SUV made its global debut at the 2026 Chengdu Motor Show under the iCAR brand. Designed for young consumers, the model is scheduled for a global launch in November. The new SUV combines the brand’s “Future Classic” design philosophy with an extended-range electric powertrain, positioning it for both urban commuting and longer-distance travel. Its debut gives the iCAR V25 a global introduction ahead of its planned market rollout, while the model’s design, performance, technology, and driving range are aimed at delivering a broader mobility proposition.

Future Classic Design And Practicality

The iCAR V25 follows the brand’s “Future Classic” design philosophy, retaining upright A-pillars, a boxy body shape, a wheels-at-the-corners layout, and short front and rear overhangs. The SUV measures 4,636 mm in length, 1,920 mm in width, and 1,855 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,820 mm. Its trunk provides 378 L of standard capacity and can expand to a maximum of 998 L. The vehicle also includes 41 storage spaces distributed throughout the cabin, supporting everyday practicality while maintaining the model’s distinctive upright and compact SUV proportions.

Range-Extended Electric Powertrain

The iCAR V25 uses the Super Golden Range-Extender System with a 1.5T engine and a dual-motor configuration. The system delivers a combined maximum power output of 455 PS and peak torque of 505 Nm, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. The SUV provides an EV-mode range of more than 210 km and a combined range exceeding 1,200 km. This powertrain configuration is designed to cover different mobility requirements, from daily urban commuting to longer-distance travel, while combining electric driving capability with extended overall range.

Advanced Cockpit And Intelligent Driving Technology

Inside, the iCAR V25 cockpit is powered by a Qualcomm QCM8538 chip and features a 15.4-inch 2.5K ultra-HD display. The vehicle also incorporates the Super Falcon 700+ intelligent driving system, which uses a high-performance Journey 6-series chip from Beijing Horizon Information Technology Co Ltd (Horizon Robotics). The intelligent driving platform provides 560 TOPS of computing power and is supported by 27 sensors. Its one-stage end-to-end large-model architecture integrates a world model with reinforcement learning, supporting perception, decision-making, and execution in complex road scenarios.

Global Launch And Product Positioning

The combination of range-extended electric propulsion, distinctive SUV packaging, and advanced cockpit and intelligent driving technology gives the iCAR V25 a broad technical proposition within the iCAR lineup. Chery Holding Group Co Ltd is positioning the model toward younger consumers while targeting use cases that require both electric driving and extended travel capability. The planned global launch in November will follow its August 21 debut at the 2026 Chengdu Motor Show.
