iCAR EV Model Families

List of iCAR EV model families - only all-electric (BEV) models are listed:

iCar EV Technology

Platform = level of vehicle platform maturity or advancement, and its dominant system voltage.
Shared = ICE-derived | Dedicated = EV-native platform | SDV-Native = future-proof

E/E Architecture: degree of integration and maturity of the vehicle’s electronic/electric control systems (from Baseline legacy wiring to Advanced domain/zonal designs).
Baseline = Distributed ECUs | Modern = Domain-based | SDV-Native = Zonal-based with central compute

OTA Capability = scope of Over-The-Air updates supported — from Baseline basic infotainment to Advanced control and systems firmware.
Baseline = Infotainment/maps | Limited = Infotainment+ | Partial = Multiple systems | Advanced = Most systems | Full = Full-vehicle updateable

Battery Suppliers = primary traction battery suppliers across the model lineup.

Power Inverter Tech = power electronics technology used (silicon carbide SiC vs silicon), which affects efficiency and thermal performance.
IGBT = Conventional | SiC = High-efficiency | GaN = Next-generation, pilots

About iCAR

iCAR is an electric vehicle sub brand launched by Chery Automobile in 2023, focused on developing youthful, design forward, and intelligent EVs for China's mainstream market. Headquartered in Wuhu, Anhui Province, iCAR represents Chery's next generation mobility strategy aimed at younger, tech savvy consumers who value individuality, connectivity, and sustainability. The brand operates under the "New Energy + Smart Technology" framework, combining Chery's advanced EV engineering with digital ecosystem integration.

The brand's first model, the iCAR 03, is a compact electric SUV positioned in the affordable urban off road category. Built on Chery's lightweight aluminum EV platform, the iCAR 03 features a boxy, minimalist exterior, dual motor all wheel drive, and a range exceeding 500 kilometers. It is equipped with L2+ driver assistance, a large AI driven infotainment display, and a modular battery system compatible with fast charging. The iCAR 03T and iCAR X25 are expected to follow, expanding the lineup into both crossover and sedan segments.

iCAR's design language, led by an independent styling team in Shanghai, blends geometric simplicity with rugged appeal, reflecting the brand's aim to appeal to young professionals and adventure oriented drivers. The interior emphasizes sustainability through recycled materials, digital interfaces, and a flat floor architecture that maximizes space efficiency. The brand's marketing strategy is digital first, relying on social media engagement and direct to consumer sales platforms rather than traditional dealerships.

While iCAR benefits from Chery's established R&D, manufacturing, and supply chain network, it operates with creative and technical independence similar to Chery's other electric divisions such as Exeed and Jetour. The brand is also expected to share technology with Huawei and CATL for smart cockpit and battery integration in future models.

Through iCAR, Chery is expanding its reach into the fast growing youth oriented EV segment, competing with rivals such as BYD's Seagull, Geely's Geometry series, and Leapmotor's C Series. Its combination of affordability, digital experience, and distinct styling positions iCAR as one of China's most promising new electric lifestyle brands.
