Announcement and local market timing

iCaur has confirmed the V25 as its Australian debut model and says the battery-electric version is slated to arrive in early 2027. In the same Australia-focused remarks reported by GoAuto, local brand head Kate Gillis said a range-extender version is also under consideration for the market, but that timing and final specification remain to be locked in closer to launch. 16

What the V25 is, and what has been shown in Australia

GoAuto describes the V25 as an all-wheel-drive, monocoque-based boxy SUV developed around new-energy propulsion, while zecar notes it was one of seven models Chery Group brought to Everything Electric Australia in Sydney from 18 to 20 September 2026. The V25 made its first Australian public appearance at that event, and autoevolution also reported that the model would be revealed to the Australian public there before its market arrival in early 2027. 145

Overseas EREV specification and related context

For the China-market EREV, GoAuto says the powertrain combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a 33.68kWh battery and delivers 145km to 150km of WLTC electric-only range depending on variant. CarNewsChina’s July 2026 MIIT filing gave the same battery capacity and range figures, and added that the engine was rated at 115kW with a maximum net power of 105kW, while paultan also reported the same 145km to 150km WLTC range and said the engine produced 115kW. Those same China-market filings and reporting also place the V25 at 4,636mm long, 1,920mm wide, 1,855mm high and riding on a 2,820mm wheelbase; paultan and CarNewsChina both said an optional towing package lifts certified braked towing capacity to 1,800kg, with CarNewsChina noting a departure-angle reduction when that package is fitted. 1378

Customisation and launch detail still to come

GoAuto’s separate report on the brand said iCaur will offer accessories and liveries for the V25 in Australia, with Gillis saying customers will be able to choose from a range of add-ons and that more information will be provided closer to launch. The same report said the brand is positioning customisation as part of its practical, lifestyle-focused offering, but it did not disclose the final scope of local accessory or livery packages. 62
