Chery has introduced the iCaur V25 EREV crossover in China, with plans for a domestic market entry in Q4 2025 and subsequent launches in the UAE and other international markets. Positioned between the compact V23 and the larger V27, the V25 brings a boxy design and advanced driver assistance features to the iCaur lineup.
Exterior and Design Features
The iCaur V25 follows the design language of other iCaur models, featuring a boxy silhouette, circular headlights, a flat roofline, and a swing-out tailgate. The SUV is equipped with large side-view mirrors, semi-hidden door handles, and fixed side steps that can support up to 130 kg.
Key exterior dimensions include a length of 4,636 mm (~182.5 inches), width of 1,920 mm (~75.6 inches), height of 1,855 mm (~73 inches), and a wheelbase of 2,820 mm (~111 inches). The V25 rides on 21-inch wheels and offers 197 mm (~7.8 inches) of ground clearance. Approach and departure angles are 30 and 28 degrees, respectively. An active air intake helps reduce drag by 15%. The tailgate features a 22.7-liter storage compartment.
Assisted Driving and Technology
A standout feature of the V25 is its LiDAR sensor mounted on the roof, which is part of Chery’s Falcon Pilot 700+ assisted driving system. This system incorporates 26 additional sensors and is powered by a Horizon Journey 6P ADAS chip with a peak computing power of 560 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second).
The Falcon Pilot 700+ enables the V25 to drive autonomously from address to address on both urban roads and highways, with the driver required to monitor the process.
Powertrain and Performance
While Chery has not disclosed full powertrain and interior details, information from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) confirms the V25 uses a 1.5-liter engine with a peak power of 115 kW (154 hp) as a generator.
The V25 is equipped with a 33.679 kWh LFP battery. The entry-level rear-wheel drive (RWD) model offers 150 km (~93 miles) of electric-only range and a fuel consumption of 6.9 liters per 100 km with a depleted battery. The all-wheel drive (AWD) variant provides 145 km (~90 miles) of EV range, fuel consumption of 7.15 liters per 100 km, and a towing capacity of 1,800 kg (~3,970 lbs).
Market Position and Launch Plans
The iCaur V25 is set to enter the Chinese market in Q4 2025, with launches in the UAE and other international markets to follow. According to China EV DataTracker, iCaur delivered 4,030 units domestically in July 2027.
More details about the V25, including interior features and full specifications, are expected to be revealed at the official launch ceremony.
Why this matters
The introduction of the iCaur V25 expands Chery’s presence in the EREV crossover segment, offering advanced driver assistance and practical electric range. Its combination of technology and utility could appeal to buyers seeking a versatile SUV with modern features.
With upcoming launches in multiple markets, the V25 may help boost iCaur’s profile both in China and abroad.
What this means for buyers
Buyers interested in a midsize EREV SUV with advanced assisted driving features should watch for the V25’s full launch details later this year. Those considering the V25 can expect a blend of electric range, towing capability, and technology, with more information on pricing and interior features to be announced closer to market entry.
