The electric SUV recorded 496 sales in its first three full months in South Africa, accounting for more than three-quarters of iCAUR\u2019s local total.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Less than two years after going on sale, the <\/span>iCAUR<\/span><\/a> V23 has reached 100,000 sales worldwide. Launched in December 2024, the boxy electric SUV is now available in more than 20 markets. iCAUR launched the V23 in South Africa on 28 May.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sales rose 51.9% from 160 units in June to 243 in July, before increasing to 252 in August. This brought iCAUR\u2019s local sales to 655 units by the end of August. The V23 accounted for 78% of the brand\u2019s August sales and approximately 76% of its total for the year to date.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSelling 100,000 V23s in less than two years is a major milestone, especially for a new model in a competitive EV market,\u201d said <\/span>Shannon Gahagan<\/span><\/a>, Head of Brand and Marketing at iCAUR and <\/span>OMODA<\/span><\/a> & <\/span>JAECOO South Africa<\/span><\/a>. \u201cSouth Africa has also made a strong start, with 655 vehicles sold across the iCAUR range in our first three full months. The design gets people\u2019s attention, but customers are also looking at the cabin space, safety, ground clearance and the choice between 2WD and AWD.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Thailand has been another strong market for the V23, with more than 7,500 units sold to date and monthly sales passing 1,000 units on several occasions. The V23 led its segment in Malaysia in July, the same month local assembly began. In Hong Kong, it secured 13% of the new-vehicle market in June before becoming the territory\u2019s best-selling new vehicle overall in July.<\/span><\/p>\n

At 1.90 metres wide and 1.84 metres high, the V23 has the square, upright stance that defines its design. It rides on a 2,735 mm wheelbase and offers 210 mm of ground clearance, along with a 43-degree approach angle and 41-degree departure angle for light off-road driving.<\/span><\/p>\n

The V23 received a <\/span>Red Dot Award: Design Concept in 2026<\/span><\/a> and holds a five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating. More than 20 factory-prepared mounting points are available for owners who want to add accessories or personalise their vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

iCAUR, part of Chery Group, plans to follow the V23 with the V27, the next model in its boxy SUV range. Launch timing and market availability will be announced separately.<\/span><\/p>\n
