Chery offshoot iCaur displayed the V27 REEV SUV in right-hand drive at Auto China in Beijing, confirming Malaysian market plans. The model offers rear-wheel drive with 252 PS or all-wheel drive with 455 PS, both paired with a 1.5 litre turbo petrol range extender and a 34.3 kWh CATL LFP battery delivering 210 km CLTC pure electric range for the RWD variant and 200 km for AWD. A 60 litre fuel tank extends total CLTC range to 1,230 km.
Why it matters: The V27 marks iCaur's entry into the range-extended SUV segment in right-hand drive markets, potentially increasing demand for workplace and destination charging infrastructure in Malaysia as the brand expands its electrified lineup beyond pure battery EVs.
