"iCar is a new global brand from Chery Group built for young consumers who love exploration and want to stand out," Zeng Shuo explained during the launch. He added that iCar combines Chery's extensive automotive manufacturing experience with digital technology from SmartMi Tech, a company within the Xiaomi ecosystem in China.

The electric SUV had previously been introduced at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2026, where it received a positive market response. Chery reported a continuous increase in pre-orders even before the official price announcement, indicating strong consumer interest. The iCar V23's design draws inspiration from classic military vehicles and legendary jeeps, featuring a "retro-classic and tech-cyber" aesthetic that merges nostalgia with modern technology.

We see a very positive response from the Indonesian public and automotive enthusiasts. We also greatly appreciate the trust of consumers who have pre-booked even before the official price was announced. Today's launch is an important step for iCAR to be closer to Indonesian consumers.
