KUALA LUMPUR — iCAUR Malaysia today officially unveiled the iCAUR V23, the brand’s second model for the Malaysian market. Building on the strong momentum of the iCAUR 03, the new C-segment V23 further cements iCAUR’s reputation as the pioneer of fully electric off-road-capable SUVs.
Positioned as Malaysia’s first fully electric off-road-capable SUV, the V23 spearheads the adventure BEV segment by blending performance, safety, and everyday versatility.
Speaking at the launch, Chery International Executive Vice President, Mr. Chen Chunqing, said,
“As a key brand within the Chery Automotive Group, iCAUR reflects our long-term strategy ‘Co-Create, Co-Define,’ which marks our transformation from a traditional automaker into a developer of an intelligent, user-driven mobility ecosystem.”
Adding to this, Chery Corporate Malaysia Executive Vice President, Men Lin Bo, noted,
“Since its debut, iCAUR has introduced a fresh, dynamic perspective to EV mobility. With its potent off-road ability and all-round usability, the V23 is set to inspire a new generation of drivers, explorers, and trendsetters.”
Bold, Iconic Design Reimagined for Electric Adventure
The iCAUR V23 pays homage to classic 4×4 icons with a modern, electric reinterpretation. Measuring 4,220 mm (L) x 1,915 mm (W) x 1,845 mm (H) with a long 2,735 mm wheelbase, the V23 balances a confident, planted stance with a practical and comfortable cabin.
Engineered for true off-road ability, the V23 features short overhangs that enable a 42° approach angle, 41° departure angle, and up to 40% gradeability. With 210 mm ground clearance and a 600 mm water wading capability, it matches the performance of traditional 4×4 SUVs and modern pickup trucks.
Its exterior is further enhanced with LED headlights with DRLs, LED tail lamps, a high-mounted third brake light integrated into the auxiliary storage box, and standard sidesteps for secure entry and exit. Interior grab handles provide added stability for all passengers.
The 2WD variant rides on 19-inch wheels with 255/55 R19 tyres, while the flagship iWD variant features 21-inch wheels with 265/45 R21 tyres, giving the SUV a rugged yet modern presence.
