iCAUR V25 Makes Its Global Debut: What UAE Buyers Should Know Before It Arrives

Dubai: iCAUR has revealed the V25, a boxy retro-style SUV that is expected to reach the UAE before the end of 2026. It was unveiled at the brand's 2026 International User Summit in Wuhu, China, alongside the V23 and V27.

 The launch is close, but the details are still thin, so we have separated what is confirmed from what is still unknown. That way you can decide whether the V25 deserves a place on your shortlist.

A Retro Box With a Modern Plan

The V25 follows iCAUR's "Future-Classic" design idea, the same approach used on the V23 and V27. Think upright, square and a little nostalgic, with a look that stands out in a sea of rounded crossovers. It should appeal to buyers who want character as much as practicality.

• Boxy SUV silhouette with an upright stance
• Circular headlights
• Near 1:1 body proportions
• Wide tyre profile for a rugged look

Two Powertrains, Plus All-Wheel Drive

iCAUR says the V25 will come as a REEV or a fully electric BEV. A REEV drives with electric power and carries an engine to extend its range, which can help on long UAE road trips. Both versions use i-AWD, which iCAUR says gives extra traction and versatility in different conditions.

Battery size, electric range, power and torque have not been shared yet. We also do not know if both versions will be offered in the UAE.

Built to Be Personalised

The V25 is aimed at everyday driving and outdoor trips, with a cabin designed for flexibility and practicality. iCAUR is also pushing personalisation. At its first MOD FEST, the brand showed customised V-series cars, and it is building its ownership experience around accessories, modifications and owner communities.

• Cabin focused on flexibility and practicality
• Owners can personalise various elements
• Accessories and aftermarket modifications are a big part of the brand's plan

Who Is Bringing It to the UAE

Omeir Bin Youssef & Sons, which serves Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, is the UAE distributor. iCAUR belongs to Chery Group and says it is expanding into more than 40 markets. The larger V27 reportedly recorded more than 1,000 UAE sales within six months, which suggests local buyers are already open to the brand. 

Chery Middle East's General Manager, Tim Zhang, is reported to have said the V25 brings together the Future-Classic design with versatile mobility and more personalisation.

What We Don't Know Yet

Some key details are still missing, so we would hold off on any final decision.

• UAE price and trim levels
• Battery capacity and electric range
• Power, torque and performance figures
• Dimensions and ground clearance
• Screens, infotainment and safety features
• Off-road capability details
• Exact delivery dates

What Should You Do While You Wait

If a boxy, personalisable SUV appeals to you, the V25 is worth watching, especially with a UAE launch expected so soon. Ask the distributor to note your interest, and wait for official pricing and specifications before you commit.

If you want an electrified SUV today, there are options already on sale. For example, our report on the Toyota bZ4X Touring's UAE launch covers a 375 hp electric crossover with a claimed WLTP range of up to 480 km. We will update you as soon as iCAUR shares more about the V25.
