“2026 will be the year of choice and creativity,” confirms Shannon Gahagan, National Brand and Marketing Manager at iCAUR South Africa.
SA will experience the introduction of iCAUR line-ups in 2026, as EV market grows.
“We are introducing a line-up that gives people the freedom to mix, match, and make life their own. Our vehicles are designed with personality and individuality at their core,” she said at the 2025 Festival of Motoring, at Kyalami Race course, Midrand on Thursday.
Both iCAUR two headline models the 03T and V23 were on exhibition at the media launch on Thursday morning.
Both of these advanced, fully electric SUVs offer a distinctive experience, says Gahagan, as large contingent of reporters listened with attentiveness.
The 03T pairs sleek urban crossover style with adventurous wide-body SUV lines and an innovative aluminium construction.
The V23 takes inspiration from robust and retro designs, pairing them with adaptable interiors and mechanical knobs, with a broad level of customisation.
With up to 24 interchangeable pieces, each V23 can reflect the driver’s personal style. Both the V23 and the 03T deliver up to 500 km of all-electric range with AWD capability.
Adding intrigue is the upcoming iCAUR V27, set to join the South African catalogue within the next two years. This bold future model expands the brand’s portfolio and underscores its forward-looking vision.
The brand’s upcoming portfolio caters to those who mix, match, and make life their own, with a smart cockpit experience, five-star safety, class-leading battery technologies, and design cues that blend retro nostalgia with futuristic cyber aesthetics.
iCAUR also introduces Chery International’s “Golden Range Extender” REEV technology to its entire lineup in 2026. This system has been developed to give South Africans peace of mind on longer journeys by pairing EV sustainability with practical long-distance capability.
iCAUR will be marketed in mzansi under the leading manufacturer Chery SA.
Over top 50 car brands and motorbikes are on exhibition.
The Festival of Motoring runs from Friday 29 to 31 August.
