Chinese automotive brand iCAUR has unveiled the V25 SUV at the 2026 iCAUR International User Summit in Wuhu, China. The new model expands the brand's V-Series lineup, joining the V23 and V27 with a boxy design, electrified powertrains and a focus on everyday driving and outdoor adventures.
The iCAUR V25 is offered with a range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) powertrain and a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) option. Its REEV configuration delivers up to 335kW (449hp) and 505Nm of torque, supported by the brand's intelligent electric all-wheel-drive system, known as i-AWD.
The SUV is expected to reach the UAE in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to regional reports. However, its local price, final specifications and variant details have yet to be confirmed.
iCAUR V25 price and availability
iCAUR has not announced official pricing for the V25. The SUV made its global debut on October 19, 2026, during the brand's international summit in China, where it was displayed alongside the V23 and V27.
The UAE launch is expected in Q4 2026, with Omeir Bin Youssef & Sons reported as the distributor serving Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Final UAE specifications, available powertrains and delivery timelines remain subject to confirmation.

Golden REEV powertrain with 449hp
The V25's Golden REEV system combines electric propulsion with a range extender. The vehicle is driven by electric motors, while the petrol-powered range extender generates electricity to support longer journeys. This setup allows drivers to use electric power for everyday travel without relying exclusively on charging stations on extended trips.
The range-extender system has a claimed thermal efficiency of 44.5%. The REEV version produces 335kW (449hp) and 505Nm of torque, with the i-AWD system distributing power according to road and traction conditions.

Boxy exterior with a rugged stance
The iCAUR V25 follows the brand's Future-Classic design philosophy, combining an upright, squared-off body with round headlights and a wide tyre profile. Its proportions give it a more rugged appearance than conventional urban crossovers, while the styling shares a clear family resemblance with the V23 and V27.
The SUV features large wheel arches, 21-inch wheels and a high stance intended to support ground clearance and traction. iCAUR has also tested the i-AWD system across seven terrain conditions, including muddy surfaces, deep ruts and uneven obstacles. These tests demonstrate the manufacturer's focus on mixed-road capability, although final UAE-specific off-road specifications have not been released.
Fully electric version also planned
Alongside the REEV, iCAUR will offer the V25 as a battery-electric vehicle (BEV). This gives buyers a choice between a fully electric setup and a range-extended system that uses a petrol engine to generate electricity.
The manufacturer has not confirmed the complete battery and range specifications for the final UAE lineup. Buyers will need to wait for local-market details to establish whether both powertrain options will be offered in the Emirates.
High-strength body structure and safety focus
The V25 uses a multi-ring cage-type body structure, with high-strength steel accounting for 80% of its body construction, according to iCAUR. The structure incorporates five transverse beams and six longitudinal beams, designed to reinforce the body and help manage impact forces.
The company has highlighted the body structure as a key part of the SUV's safety approach. However, detailed information on airbags, active driver-assistance features and independent crash-test ratings has not yet been confirmed in the information released for the V25.
iCAUR V25 in the UAE: What to expect
The V25 is expected to join the UAE lineup in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to regional automotive reports. Omeir Bin Youssef & Sons is reported to handle the brand's distribution in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
For UAE buyers, the V25 could offer an alternative to conventional SUVs by combining distinctive retro-inspired styling with electric driving and intelligent all-wheel drive. The REEV version's petrol-powered range extender may also appeal to drivers who want electric propulsion without depending entirely on public charging during longer trips.
However, its UAE price, equipment levels, battery capacity, claimed driving range, and confirmed delivery dates remain outstanding. These details will be important in assessing how the V25 compares with other electrified SUVs available locally.
