Chery’s iCaur V25 Revealed as Mid‑Size Range‑Extended Electric SUV

Overview

• The MIIT certification filed Monday, July 13, lists the V25 as a range‑extended EV that uses a 1.5‑litre turbo engine solely to recharge a 33.68‑kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and gives roughly 145–150 km of WLTC electric range.
• Measured at 4,636 mm long with a 2,820 mm wheelbase the V25 sits between the smaller V23 and larger V27 in iCaur’s lineup and adopts the brand’s boxy styling with 19‑ or 21‑inch wheel options.
• Reported mechanical figures include a 156 PS (115 kW) generator output and a claimed top speed of 180 km/h, with a manufacturer‑reported fuel consumption figure of about 1.52 L/100 km for the EREV setup.
• Options flagged in the filing include a towing package rated to 1,800 kg that cuts the departure angle from 24° to 15°, plus an optional roof‑mounted LiDAR and expected Horizon Journey 6 compute for advanced driver assistance.
• Chery has confirmed the iCaur brand will be launched in Australia early 2027 but has not said the V25 will be part of that lineup; the MIIT disclosure is likely to guide export planning and local model choices.
