Australian launch plan is set, with BEV first
iCaur has set the V25 as its first Australian model, with GoAuto reporting that the Chery-owned brand will bring the boxy SUV to market in early 2027. In the same coverage, GoAuto says the local launch will begin with a battery-electric version, while a range-extender variant remains a possibility for Australia rather than a confirmed part of the line-up. The report also says the V25 will make its first Australian public appearance at Everything Electric Sydney before showroom arrivals begin. 147
GoAuto’s separate coverage of iCaur’s local brand strategy says the V25 will arrive in battery-electric form, with the potential for an EREV variant to follow. Kate Gillis, iCaur Australia’s head of brand, said the BEV will be the basis for the local range, and that the EREV already sold overseas is on the brand’s consideration set when the market gets closer to launch. 12
What is confirmed about the V25
GoAuto describes the V25 as a monocoque SUV with boxy styling, all-wheel drive and dimensions of 4636mm long, 1920mm wide and 1855mm high on a 2820mm wheelbase. That places it broadly in the same size and lifestyle territory as a Toyota RAV4, while GoAuto says the model is being framed by iCaur as a category-defining new-energy SUV. Zecar’s Everything Electric Sydney coverage lists the V25 as an off-road SUV with Australian powertrain timing still to be confirmed, and says it was one of the models scheduled for an Australian public debut at the show. 431
For China, GoAuto says the V25 is due in the fourth quarter of 2026 with an EREV powertrain. The overseas setup uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 33.68kWh battery, with the engine acting as a generator rather than driving the wheels. GoAuto says WLTC electric-only range is listed at between 145km and 150km depending on variant, and that an AWD version has been homologated with 1800kg towing capacity. 14
Prices and local specification are still pending
Australian pricing, final specification and powertrain availability remain unannounced. GoAuto’s 26 August report said those details were still under wraps and would be released closer to launch, while its 23 September update repeated that full details of the incoming V25 are yet to be publicly announced. Man of Many also said final Australian pricing and specifications would arrive closer to launch, and autoevolution said pricing, final launch timing and local specifications will be announced closer to the vehicle’s arrival date. 4158
Zecar’s Sydney show coverage likewise describes the V25 as EREV in China with Australian powertrain details still to be confirmed, and says the model’s due early 2027. Its broader event preview says Everything Electric Sydney ran at Sydney Showground from 18 to 20 September 2026 and included the first Australian public viewings of new EVs from multiple brands, including iCAUR. 36
Customisation and brand positioning
GoAuto says customisation is central to iCaur’s Australian pitch. Gillis said the brand will offer a range of accessories and liveries for incoming products, including the V25, and that customers will be able to choose accessories through dealerships. The vehicle on display at Everything Electric Sydney wore a green, white and orange livery with 25 and V25 decals. 2
GoAuto also reported that the accessories are intended to suit the V25’s lifestyle focus, with Gillis saying the brand wants practical add-ons rather than a narrow cosmetic package. In the broader launch context, GoAuto says iCaur will join Chery Group’s growing Australian presence as another brand in the local portfolio, with the V25 leading the marque’s entry into the market. 24
