iCaur will enter the Polish market in 2027. Initially, it will offer the large SUV V27 with an EREV powertrain.
Chery is preparing another brand in Poland. By 2027, iCaur is set to launch here, a brand of boxy SUVs with electric and EREV powertrains, with the first model being the large V27. Smaller models V25 and V23 are expected to follow within a year. The importer has not yet disclosed prices, version lists, or an exact launch date.

In China, the brand has been operating since 2023 as iCar, and in foreign markets since 2025 as iCaur. The manufacturer refers to its style as “Future Classic Design.” In practice, this means simple lines, a high window line, round headlights, and bulky wheels that give it an off-road appearance, although underneath they are family SUVs without off-road ambitions. In Poland, iCaur will join Chery, Omody, Jaecoo, Jetour, and Exlantix, with Lepas also on the horizon, its debut delayed to the first half of 2027.

The V27 is a five-seater SUV with a width of 197.6 cm, height of 189.4 cm, and wheelbase of 290 cm. Its trunk has a capacity of 715 to 1818 liters, and its doors open sideways. Under the hood is a gasoline engine that does not drive the wheels but generates electricity for electric motors. In Romania, the V27 is available in the Classic version with one engine producing 252 HP, and the Premium AWD version with two engines producing 455 HP. Prices start at 51,490 euros there, which is approximately 220,000 Polish zlotys. The manufacturer claims the car can travel over 1000 km without a long stop. The Chinese Long-Range variant has a 51.2 kWh battery, 449 HP, and an electric range of up to 300 km according to CLTC standards. However, it is unknown which version will be available in Poland.
The V25 is 192 cm wide, 185 cm tall, and has a wheelbase of 282 cm. The interior combines a large screen with physical knobs and buttons, which will please anyone who doesn’t want to adjust the air vents in a third submenu. The electric version features a 80.16 kWh battery and outputs 252 HP or 455 HP. The EREV variant has 455 HP, with power generated by a 1.5 turbocharged gasoline engine. According to European specifications, the electric V25 can travel 332 km with AWD and 368 km with single-wheel drive (the testing cycle wasn’t specified). With such a large battery capacity, the energy consumption is around 22-24 kWh/100 km, indicating that the boxy body design significantly increases energy use. The towing capacity reaches 1800 kg.
The V23 was the brand’s first model in China in 2024. It is 422 cm long but boasts a width of 191.5 cm, and it runs solely on electricity. In China, the base version cost 99,800 yuan (approximately 59,000 zł), while the more powerful Super V23 was priced at 174,800 yuan (around 104,000 zł). After adding shipping, European homologation costs, and the importer’s margin, the price in Poland will be higher.
EREV in Poland without electric vehicle perks
In an EREV setup, only electric motors drive the wheels, so the car behaves like an electric vehicle. However, on the road, the driver doesn’t need to look for chargers because power is supplied by an generator. Such powertrains are gaining increasing popularity in China, and iCaur aims to attract drivers who are not yet ready for a fully electric car using them.
Polish regulations do not treat EREV vehicles as electric cars, so the V27 and V25 with generators cannot use the bus lanes or park for free in the city center.
Competition even within one’s own group
iCaur will enter a market already dominated by BYD, MG, Leapmotor, and XPeng. It also faces competition from Omoda and Jaecoo within the same group, which are already well-known in Poland. The V23 will compete with BYD’s and MG’s compact electric SUVs, the V25 with family-oriented C- and D-segment models, and the V27 with large plug-in and EREV SUVs.
Chery itself sells only HEV and plug-in hybrids in Poland: Tiggo 4 Hybrid, Tiggo 7 Hybrid, Tiggo 7 Plug-in Hybrid, Tiggo 8 Plug-in Hybrid, and Tiggo 9 Plug-in Hybrid. Prices start at 98,200 zł for the Tiggo 4 Hybrid, with no electric models in the lineup. In Germany, Chery begins similarly: first four hybrid SUVs, followed later by the electric Chery Q with a 41 kWh battery.
From the editorial team: the Chinese V27 Long-Range costs 189,800 yuan (around 112,000 zł), while the Romanian V27 costs 51,490 euros, which is almost twice as much. These are different versions, but this difference shows that the iCaur will not compete on price with the Chinese model in Europe.
