Chery will officially launch the iCaur V27 Long-Range Edition on September 30, 2026, according to IT Home. Known domestically as the iCar V27, the mid-to-large boxy SUV is receiving a range-focused update alongside comfort and technology upgrades. The update follows four consecutive months of declining domestic deliveries for the vehicle, as tracked by China EV DataTracker.
Pricing and Trim Lineup for the iCar V27
Pricing for the upcoming Long-Range variant remains unconfirmed by Chery. The current iCar V27 lineup spans three distinct trims priced between 169,800 and 196,800 yuan (approximately 25,343 to 29,373 USD), according to IT Home data. The entry-level rear-wheel-drive Falcon 500 starts at 169,800 yuan, while the all-wheel-drive Falcon 500 costs 182,800 yuan. The flagship Falcon 700 tops the current range at 196,800 yuan.
Unibody Dimensions and Off-Road Specifications
The V27 utilizes a unibody structure measuring 4,909 mm in length, which extends to 5,055 mm when including the exterior spare tyre, according to specifications reported by IT Home. The vehicle measures 1,976 mm in wide and up to 1,894 mm high, supported by a 2,910 mm wheelbase. Off-road capability metrics include a 24-degree approach angle, a 23-degree departure angle, a 600 mm water-fording clearance, and a torsional stiffness of 32,186 N·m/deg.
Extended-Range Powertrain and Battery Performance
The iCaur V27 pairs its boxy unibody layout with an EREV powertrain and an LFP battery pack. According to IT Home, a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 105 kW (141 hp) acts as a generator to supply power to the electric drive motors. The rear-wheel-drive model employs a single 185 kW (248 hp) motor, whereas the dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions generate a combined 335 kW (449 hp).
All three existing trims share a 34.3 kWh LFP battery pack. This battery delivers a CLTC pure-electric range of 210 km (150 km WLTC) for the rear-wheel-drive variant, and 200 km CLTC (145 km WLTC) for the all-wheel-drive models, pushing the combined CLTC range up to 1,230 km.
Did you know? The iCaur V27 rolled off the production line in January as the brand’s largest boxy SUV to date, and following its September domestic update, export shipments are slated to expand into the Middle East, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe under the iCaur global export branding.
Cabin Technology and Advanced Driver Assistance
Inside the cabin, the V27 features a floating central touchscreen powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8295P cockpit processor, which supplies 30 TOPS of AI compute, per IT Home’s reporting. The infotainment setup supports a DeepSeek-powered voice assistant, Apple CarPlay, Huawei HiCar, and CarLink. Driver-assistance hardware splits by trim level: the Falcon 500 relies on millimetre-wave radar and vision sensors, while the Falcon 700 incorporates roof-mounted LiDAR paired with a Horizon Robotics Journey 6P chip delivering 560 TOPS for urban and highway navigation assistance.
Delivery Trends and Market Competition
The upcoming Long-Range variant arrives during a period of slowing sales momentum. According to China EV DataTracker, the SUV’s monthly deliveries peaked at 4,184 units in April before falling to 3,456 in May, 2,219 in June, 1,764 in July, and 1,609 in August. Concurrently, the brand’s total delivery share dropped from 63.8% in April to 39.3% in August.
In the domestic boxy SUV market, the V27 competes directly against Chery’s own Jetour Shanhai T2—priced between 159,900 and 209,900 yuan (23,866 to 31,328 USD)—and the BYD Fang Cheng Bao Bao 5, which ranges from 179,800 to 239,800 yuan (26,836 to 35,791 USD). While the Shanhai T2 shares a unibody layout with the V27, the Bao 5 relies on a dedicated body-on-frame chassis, according to market data.
