iCAUR V23 and V27 Launched in Pakistan with Official Prices

Two new SUVs from iCAUR have been seen on Pakistani roads the compact, fully electric V23 and the larger V27, which uses range-extender technology. Both are rugged, boxy designs that look nothing like the crossovers currently filling the local market.

Vehicles being spotted before launch is normal. Manufacturers bring units in for homologation, testing and dealer evaluation long before anything reaches a showroom. What it tells you is that iCAUR Pakistan plans are moving not that they're finalised.

Here's everything that has actually been confirmed about the iCAUR V23 and V27 in Pakistan, and — just as importantly — what hasn't.

What Is iCAUR?

iCAUR is an electric-focused brand within the Chery group, built around boxy, rugged, lifestyle-oriented vehicles rather than the smooth aerodynamic shapes most EV makers favour.

That styling choice is deliberate. It targets younger buyers who want their electric car to look like it could go somewhere, and it gives the brand a visual identity that's instantly separable from the rest of Chery's range.

iCAUR V23: The Compact Electric SUV

The iCAUR V23 is a compact, fully electric SUV and one of the most distinctive models in iCAUR's Pakistan lineup. Its design takes a bold, retro-inspired approach, combining a squared-off, upright body with round LED headlights, squared wheel arches, chunky black cladding and boxy proportions.

The V23's styling is clearly aimed at buyers who want something different from the increasingly rounded crossover designs common in the market. Its upright stance, rugged detailing and distinctive exterior give it a strong visual identity, while the overall design blends classic SUV cues with modern electric-vehicle technology.

For Pakistan, the V23 is available in RWD and AWD variants, giving buyers a choice between different drivetrain configurations. The AWD version uses a dual-motor setup and produces 208 hp with 292 Nm of torque, while the vehicle's 81.76 kWh battery provides a claimed range of up to 430 km under the NEDC cycle.

It's offered in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The compact electric V23 would enter a segment that already includes models such as the BYD Atto 3 in Pakistan though the two take very different approaches to what a compact EV should look like.

iCAUR V27: The Mid-Size REEV SUV

The iCAUR V27 is the larger of the pair a mid-size SUV sitting above the smaller iCAUR models, with a tall body, wide wheel arches, black lower cladding and a rear-mounted spare wheel.

That external spare is worth noting. It's an off-road cue rather than a styling flourish, and it signals where the V27 is positioned: adventure-oriented rather than urban.

Mechanically it's the more interesting vehicle, because it uses REEV range-extender technology. Pakistan's growing electrified SUV market already includes options such as the Jaecoo J7 SHS PHEV, while the V27 would bring a genuinely different approach.

REEV vs PHEV: Why the Difference Matters

These two terms get used interchangeably, and they shouldn't be.

In a PHEV, the petrol engine can drive the wheels directly. It's a car with two propulsion systems that share the job.

In a REEV, the petrol engine never drives the wheels. It has no mechanical connection to them at all. It runs purely as a generator, producing electricity to feed the motor or recharge the battery. Every kilometre is driven electrically.

The practical result is that a REEV feels like an EV all the time instant torque, no gear changes, no engine note tied to your right foot while removing charging anxiety entirely. In a country where public charging is still concentrated in a handful of cities, that's arguably the more sensible technology.

iCAUR Pakistan Launch: What Has Been Confirmed

iCAUR has officially entered the Pakistani market through NexGen Auto, part of Nishat Group, following its partnership with Chery International. The brand's first Pakistan launch includes the iCAUR V23 and iCAUR V27, officially introduced on September 17, 2026.

The iCAUR V23 is available in RWD and AWD variants, while the V27 arrives as a range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) with dual-motor AWD. Official ex-factory prices are Rs. 9,499,000 for the V23 RWD, Rs. 11,499,000 for the V23 AWD, and Rs. 12,499,000 for the V27.

Bookings for all three variants opened at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) on September 18, 2026, with customer deliveries scheduled to begin by the end of October.

The launch follows months of local sightings and testing of the V23 and V27. Earlier reports had identified the vehicles in Pakistan ahead of the official launch, but those sightings alone did not confirm pricing or a launch date. That uncertainty has now been resolved with NexGen Auto's official launch and pricing announcement.

Internationally, the V23 was already available in markets outside China before its Pakistan introduction, while the V27 has also been introduced in international markets as iCAUR expands its new-energy vehicle lineup.

iCAUR V23 and V27 Price in Pakistan

The iCAUR V23 and V27 prices for Pakistan have now been officially announced by NexGen Auto following the brand's launch in September 2026. The V23 is available in RWD and AWD variants, while the V27 is offered as a dual-motor AWD range-extended electric vehicle (REEV).

The iCAUR V23 RWD is priced at Rs. 9,499,000, while the V23 AWD costs Rs. 11,499,000. The larger iCAUR V27 has an official ex-factory price of Rs. 12,499,000. All three variants require a Rs. 2,500,000 booking amount.

These are ex-factory prices, so the final on-road cost can be higher after applicable freight, taxes, registration and documentation charges.

iCAUR V23 and V27: Confirmed Details

Here's what's actually known about both models at this stage:

What We Still Don't Know

Plenty, and it's worth being clear about it rather than filling the gaps with guesswork.

Battery capacity, electric range, power output, dimensions, equipment levels, warranty terms, whether either model would be imported or locally assembled, and the after-sales network none of this has been announced for Pakistan. For a new brand, that last point matters more than the specs. Parts availability and service coverage are what determine whether owning one is straightforward or frustrating.
