History

[edit]

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] An additional box is installed in the fifth door.[6]

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.[8]
