iCAR 03 — Rugged All-Electric Off-Road SUV with 501 km Range
The iCAR 03 is an all-electric compact SUV from iCAR (Chery's youth-oriented EV sub-brand), launched in February 2024 with a bold, boxy, off-road-inspired design. Delivering 184 PS (135 kW) of rear-mounted electric power and 220 N·m of instant torque, the iCAR 03 combines 501 km of CLTC range, fast charging from 30-80% in just 30 minutes, and a distinctive, brand-new design language that targets young, adventure-seeking buyers. With its boxy silhouette, 18-inch all-terrain tires (225/60 R18), and EV silence, the iCAR 03 is positioned for distributors targeting youth, outdoor, and entry-off-road EV markets where differentiation and style matter as much as price.
Key Highlights
- 501 km CLTC Range — impressive electric range for a compact SUV; eliminates range anxiety for daily commuting and weekend outdoor trips

- Fast Charging 30-80% in 30 Minutes — DC fast charging (0.5 hours) enables convenient long-distance travel with minimal downtime
- Rear-Wheel Drive Dynamics — rear-mounted motor delivers RWD handling characteristics that enthusiasts appreciate; available AWD dual-motor variant in some markets
- Brand-New iCAR Sub-Brand — launched 2024, iCAR is Chery's dedicated youth and outdoor brand; first-mover advantage for distributors in emerging EV markets
- Low Energy Consumption — just 1.67 L/100km equivalent, making it one of the most efficient compact electric SUVs
Exterior Design
The iCAR 03 features a bold, boxy design language that channels classic off-road SUVs — a flat hood, squared-off roofline, short front and rear overhangs, and prominent wheel arches that accommodate 225/60 R18 all-terrain tires. The front has a sealed EV grille with iCARbadge and slim LED headlights with a full-width DRL bar. The 4,406 mm length and 1,910 mm width give it a planted, capable stance despite its compact footprint. The rear features a side-swing rear door (accommodating a spare tire mount), vertical LED taillights, and a boxy bumper. The overall look is rugged, youthful, and unmistakably electric — a design that photograph well for social media marketing.
