Chery’s iCar V25 is an extended-range electric SUV offered with rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD). The model combines a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine serving as a range extender with an electric-motor powertrain. Pre-sales in China opened with prices ranging from 139,800 yuan to 175,800 yuan.
The V25 is available in four variants: Pro, Max, Max+ and Ultra. Its key specifications include up to 335 kW of combined electric-motor output, a maximum combined CLTC range of 1,240 km and a 15-minute charging time from 30% to 80%.
Powertrain and Performance Specifications
The V25’s two drivetrain configurations offer different power outputs and acceleration figures.
| Specification | Rear-Wheel Drive | All-Wheel Drive |
|---|---|---|
| Range-extender engine | 1.5-liter turbocharged | 1.5-liter turbocharged |
| Electric motors | Single motor | Dual motors |
| Motor output | 185 kW (248 hp) | 335 kW combined |
| 0–100 km/h acceleration | 8.5 seconds | 5.8 seconds |
| CLTC electric range | 210 km | 200 km |
| Combined CLTC range | 1,240 km | 1,210 km |
The rear-wheel-drive configuration uses a single electric motor rated at 185 kW, while the all-wheel-drive version employs two motors delivering a combined 335 kW. The AWD version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds, 2.7 seconds quicker than the RWD model.
Both configurations use a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine as a range extender. Battery capacity, engine output and fuel-tank capacity have not been specified in the available information.
Battery, Electric Range and Charging
The V25’s published range figures are based on China’s Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC).
| Battery and Range Specification | Rear-Wheel Drive | All-Wheel Drive |
|---|---|---|
| CLTC electric range | 210 km | 200 km |
| Combined CLTC range | 1,240 km | 1,210 km |
| Charging time, 30–80% | 15 minutes | 15 minutes |
The RWD version has a 10 km advantage in stated electric-only range and a 30 km advantage in combined range over the AWD configuration. The battery’s usable capacity, maximum DC charging power and charging connector specifications have not been announced in the supplied information.
Actual range and charging times can vary with temperature, driving style, road conditions and charging equipment.
Exterior Dimensions and Off-Road Specifications
The iCar V25 has a boxy exterior design inspired by the smaller iCar V23, with a larger body and dimensions suited to its mid-size SUV positioning.
| Specification | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Length | 4,636 mm |
| Width | 1,920 mm |
| Height | 1,855 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,820 mm |
| Minimum ground clearance | 197 mm |
| Maximum wading depth | 600 mm |
| External rear storage box | 22.7 liters |
| Tailgate design | Side-opening |
The vehicle’s 197 mm minimum ground clearance and stated 600 mm maximum wading depth support its positioning for light off-road use. These figures do not, on their own, establish its capability on demanding trails or in deep water.
A side-opening rear tailgate and a 22.7-liter external storage box provide additional practicality.
Driver-Assistance and Computing Hardware
The V25 offers the Falcon 700+ driver-assistance system, which uses Horizon Robotics’ Journey 6P chip.
