DRIVING IMPRESSIONS | New brand iCaur brings charisma to SA’s electric race

iCaur, Chery's newest EV-only brand, launches in South Africa with two SUV ranges from R519,900 (V23, 360km) to R699,900 (03T AWD, 436km), 25 dealers and an 8-year/200,000km warranty. Chery's four-brand segmentation — Omoda, Jetour, Jaecoo, iCaur — signals a systematic Chinese OEM push into emerging EV markets via competitive pricing and warranty coverage, a playbook relevant for fleet and mobility budget decisions.
