The all-new iCaur V27 SUV has officially launched in the UAE, marking the global debut of Chery’s iCaur brand, the international version of its Chinese Domestic Market sub-brand — iCar.

The V27, rebranded from the iCar V27, leads the lineup as a powerful and rugged range-extended electric SUV, designed for buyers who want off-road capability, long driving range, and modern technology in one package. Want to know more about the Chery brand? Here is a detailed article.
