The iCar V23 is a compact electric SUV featuring a rugged design that echoes the styling of iconic off-roaders like the Land Cruiser, Defender, and G-Class. Available in RWD and AWD configurations, the iCar V23 boasts ranges exceeding 400km and 500km and offers Level 2+ ADAS capabilities. The new EV marks the second joint project between Chery and Xiaomi, with plans for six to eight more electric vehicles in the next three years.
The minimalist surfacing and side gills on the profile appear to be inspired by the Land Rover Defender, although the flush door handles are a nice and rather unique touch. iCar also took notes from the Mercedes-Benz G-Class when designing for the rear end, especially around the low-mounted LED taillights. As with rival models, the rugged looks are combined with a storage box mounted on the tailgate, resembling a spare tire.
