iCAUR V27 positioning and size
The iCAUR V27 is the largest SUV in Chery’s iCAUR lineup and its first range-extender. It is a five-seat, boxy SUV with round headlights, a rear-mounted spare wheel and 265/45 R21 all-terrain tyres on the AWD trims. It measures 4,909 mm long (5,055 mm counting the spare wheel), 1,976 mm wide and 1,894 mm tall, on a 2,910 mm wheelbase. It went on sale in China in March 2026, and the brand sells it abroad as iCAUR.
Battery, range and charging
The V27 uses a range-extender layout: a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine charges the battery and never drives the wheels directly. The original trims carry a 34.3 kWh CATL lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, good for 210 km of CLTC electric range in rear-wheel drive and 200 km with all-wheel drive. The Long Range versions, launched on 30 September 2026, raise the battery to 51.2 kWh and the electric range to 300 km CLTC. CLTC is China’s test cycle and reads more generously than WLTP, so real-world figures will be lower.
Chery says the 51.2 kWh pack of the Long Range versions charges from 30% to 80% in 17 minutes, according to CarNewsChina.
Power and drivetrain
The rear-drive version has a single 185 kW motor (about 248 hp). The all-wheel-drive versions add a front motor for a combined 335 kW (about 449 hp), and the original AWD trims reach 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds.
Romania and Europe
iCAUR opened the V27 for orders in two European markets in October 2026, both with the smaller battery of the original China trims (prices as of 20 October 2026).
In Romania the 34.31 kWh car comes in two versions: the rear-drive Classic at €51,490 and the all-wheel-drive Premium at €54,999. Their electric range is 135 and 130 km on the WLTC cycle, against 200 to 210 km CLTC for the same pack in China. Sales start in the first part of 2027.
In Greece the V27 made its EU premiere at Auto Athina 2026 and became available to order there, from €54,900 for the all-wheel-drive car. CarNewsChina quotes 335 kW (449 hp), 505 Nm, 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds and up to 145 km of WLTP electric range from the 34.3 kWh battery. With the 60-litre fuel tank it quotes up to 900 km in range-extender mode on the WLTP cycle. No on-sale date was given. The brand has said it will launch in the UK in 2027.
Trims and prices in China
The original range is priced at 169,800 yuan (~$25,200) for the Falcon 500 rear-drive, 182,800 yuan (~$27,200) for the Falcon 500 all-wheel-drive and 196,800 yuan (~$29,200) for the Falcon 700. The two Long Range versions, both all-wheel drive, cost 189,800 yuan (~$28,200) and 203,800 yuan (~$30,300). Prices are as of 30 September 2026. Falcon 500 and Falcon 700 differ in driver assistance: the 700 adds roof lidar and a more powerful Horizon Journey 6P chip.
