The Chery iCar V23-based EV is expected to debut in India.

There are various camouflaged test mules of an electric SUV based on the Cherry iCar V23 that have been spotted on the Indian roads. While JSW Motors has done a strategic collaboration with the Chinese manufacturer, this new EV could be launched after the Jeteour T2.

However, the launch date of the SUV has been pushed back as it was initially slated to launch for the second half of 2026.

Visually, the electric SUV will be featuring a boxy design and an upright stance with a significant ground clearance of 205-210 mm. Dimension-wise, the China-spec model measures 4,220 mm in length, 1,915 mm in width and 1,845 mm in height with an approach and departure angles of 43 Degree and 41 Degrees.

At the front, the iCar V23 comes with a completely sealed off design and is equipped with circular headlights that has a striking resemblance with Jeep Wrangler. However, when viewed from the side, the missing rear quarter glass is a highlighted detail. There is also an addition of physical pull-type units, instead of electrically operated handles.

The company has provided a wheel-size of 19 and 21 inch wheels, depending on which variant you choose. At the rear, the SUV houses a boxy external storage compartment placed on the side-hinged tailgate, which is also seen on Mercedes G-Class Electric.
