iCAUR V27 Launched in Egypt With 1,000-Km Range

On August 18, multiple sources reported that GB Auto officially launched iCAUR in Egypt, introducing the V27 as the brand’s first model in the Egyptian market. The iCAUR V27 Egypt Launch marks the introduction of a range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) using a powertrain that combines electric propulsion with a gasoline-powered generator. The model is positioned around extended driving range, with a reported range of 1,000 kilometers. The launch also expands iCAUR’s presence in the market through its local introduction by GB Auto, while connecting the model to the broader portfolio of Chinese vehicle manufacturer Chery.

iCAUR V27 Powertrain and Battery Options

The V27 is based on range-extended electric vehicle technology, with a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine serving as a power generator rather than being described as the vehicle’s primary propulsion source. The model is offered with two battery capacity options, providing buyers with a choice between 20.47 kWh and 34.31 kWh. This configuration combines battery-electric operation with a gasoline generator to support extended driving capability. The reported 1,000-kilometer range is a key specification of the V27 and highlights the range-extension approach used by iCAUR for its first model introduced in Egypt.

iCAUR and Chery Connection

iCAUR is a subsidiary of Chinese vehicle manufacturer Chery, placing the V27 within Chery’s wider automotive business structure. The launch provides iCAUR with an entry point into the Egyptian market through GB Auto, while the V27 becomes the first iCAUR model introduced locally. Its REEV configuration distinguishes the vehicle from conventional battery-electric models by using a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine as a generator alongside its battery system. The combination of two battery capacities and a reported 1,000-kilometer range forms the central technical proposition of the model.

V27 Market Introduction in Egypt

The introduction of the V27 gives iCAUR a new electrified vehicle offering in the Egyptian market, with the model relying on range-extended electric technology to address long-distance driving requirements. The reported specifications include a 20.47 kWh battery option, a larger 34.31 kWh battery option, and a total range of 1,000 kilometers. GB Auto’s launch of iCAUR in Egypt therefore introduces both the brand and its REEV technology through the V27. As the first iCAUR model launched in the country, the vehicle represents the brand’s initial product presence in the Egyptian market.
