Chery’s iCaur brand has officially entered the UAE with the global debut of the all-new V27, a range-extended electric SUV that blends bold off-road design with advanced tech and long-distance flexibility. With prices starting from AED 134,999 and a top-spec electric range of 150 km, the V27 is geared to shake up the hybrid SUV segment across the Emirates.
iCaur has confirmed seven showrooms across the UAE through partners like AutoRun in Dubai, Galadari in Sharjah and the Northern Emirates, and Omeir Bin Youssef & Sons in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Three trims are available:
Buyers at launch also get strong value perks including:
Warranty coverage includes 6 years or 200,000 km, along with 5 years or 100,000 km of service.
The V27 uses a 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine as a generator in a REEV setup, delivering up to 335 kW (about 449 hp) and 505 Nm torque. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes just 5.9 seconds in AWD versions, with a total driving range nearing 1,000 km.
It pairs this power with a striking, boxy SUV design built for off-road presence. Exterior features include:
The V27 measures over 5 meters long and nearly 1.9 meters tall, with 715 liters of boot space and fold-flat seats offering a 2.15 meter cargo bed.
Inside, the V27 mixes practicality with smart tech. A clean, minimal dash layout meets a wide dual-pane sunroof and 64-color ambient lighting. Rear seats fold flat, and soft-touch materials cover key touchpoints.
Interior and tech features include:
Safety equipment covers every angle, with adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, emergency braking, lane assist, and ISOFIX.
The V27 will challenge models like the Tank 300 HEV, Toyota Fortuner Hybrid, and GAC GS8. But it stands out with its electric-first setup, longer EV range, and aggressive styling.
Two more iCaur models were also revealed:
Together, these models target both adventurous SUV buyers and compact urban drivers.
