Chery’s youthful sub-brand iCAUR has made a bold entrance into the global SUV scene, unveiling two all-new models — the V27 REEV and 03T REEV — at a spectacular “Brand Night” event in Dubai. With its unique design philosophy, cutting-edge range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) system, and focus on adventurous yet practical mobility, iCAUR is positioning itself as the “cool global player” for drivers who want style, capability, and innovation in one package.
And given Dubai is often the GCC launchpad for major automotive brands — plus Chery’s established presence in Qatar — there’s every reason to believe these new SUVs could be heading to Qatari showrooms in the near future.

 

V27 REEV — Taking Aim at the Big Names
The V27 REEV is a rugged, mid-to-large SUV clearly gunning for territory dominated by heavyweights like the Toyota LandCruiser Prado and Land Rover Defender 110. Measuring 5,045 mm long, 1,976 mm wide, and 1,894 mm high with a 2,900 mm wheelbase, it’s big, bold, and built for all-scenario versatility — whether it’s family road trips, off-road adventures, or hauling camping gear.
Its J-style design language combines retro charm with modern muscle — bold horizontal grille, squared arches, round DRLs, and a confident stance. Inside, the focus is on space, comfort, and adaptability.

The REEV Advantage
Unlike a pure EV, iCAUR’s range-extended system uses a turbocharged 1.5L petrol engine not to drive the wheels directly, but to continuously generate electricity for the battery and motor. This means:

• No plug-in charging is required
• Capable of both short all-electric drives and long petrol-assisted trips
• Consistent performance across city streets and remote trails

The powertrain boasts 44.5% thermal efficiency, producing 3.7 kWh of electricity per litre of fuel, paired with a hybrid transmission delivering 97.3% peak efficiency.

 

03T REEV — The Smart Boxy SUV
The 03T REEV targets younger drivers with its urban-friendly yet adventurous personality. Its all-aluminium multi-cavity cage body reduces weight while maintaining safety, with high-strength honeycomb beams to absorb impact forces.
Equipped with an i-AWD adaptive system, the 03T constantly adjusts power distribution for optimal grip — whether on wet Doha roads or gravel desert tracks. Inside, tech takes center stage with:

• Central touchscreen control hub
• 540° camera system
• HD drive recorder
• 11 active safety systems

While no official launch date has been confirmed for Qatar, the combination of fuel flexibility, electric driving capability, and serious off-road stance could resonate strongly with local drivers. In a market where long-range confidence is essential — from city commutes to desert camping trips — the REEV approach could offer the best of both worlds.
With Dubai already hosting the global reveal, and Chery’s dealer network active in Qatar, it’s likely only a matter of time before the V27 REEV and 03T REEV arrive here.
