History

In April 2023, at Auto Shanghai, Chery unveiled its new iCar brand and the first model, the iCar 03 electric compact crossover SUV. However, this vehicle was brought to the exhibition as a concept car. Later, the production version of the electric crossover was shown. [6]

The letter "i" in the car logo was designed by Cao Xue, chief designer of the Guangzhou Academy of Arts and the author of the mascots of the 2022 Winter Olympics. [7] As the trunk of the car is very small, an additional box is installed in the fifth door. [6]

Specifications

The body of the 03 is made of steel and aluminum, and a sliding sectional panoramic roof can be installed for an additional fee. The front and rear suspensions are mutually independent. The size of the wheels is 19 inches. [6]

The 03 powerplant consists of a 185-horsepower motor with electronically controlled all-wheel drive and a CATL battery. The maximum speed of iCar 03 is 150 km/h (93 mph), and the battery reserve can reach 500 km (310 mi). In addition, the car is equipped with solar panels mounted on the roof to increase the range. [5]

Interior

The center console of the 03 is covered with a soft cover, there is a large screen in the center, there are no buttons on the instrument panel, all control is done from the screen and using the buttons on the steering wheel. [5]

iCar 03T

A premium and sportier variant called the iCar 03T was launched in 2024. The 03T was developed by Zhimi Technology's car manufacturing division after the team merged with Chery's iCar division. The 03T was developed as an improved version of the original 03 to fit better with the later launched V23 and future products, featuring a restyled body kit, wide wheel arches, more offroad inspired gears, and improved performance.
