Chery International’s iCAUR brand plans to enter the UK in early 2027 with the five-seat V27 SUV. The important powertrain detail is in the company’s own UK FAQ: it describes the V27 as an electrified hybrid, not a confirmed battery-only UK model.
The official iCAUR UK launch site, checked October 16, 2026, confirms the timeframe and first model but says prices and full UK powertrain details will follow closer to launch. Reuters reported the UK-entry announcement on October 15.
What is confirmed
The UK site lists five seats, 4×4 capability, a panoramic glass roof and a side-opening tailgate. Those are manufacturer descriptions; Chiefs Review has not tested the vehicle’s off-road performance.
The site is collecting expressions of interest and inviting prospective retailers to contact the brand. A launch-news signup is not an order or a reserved delivery slot, and a retailer recruitment invitation does not establish that a local sales and service outlet is already operating.
What UK buyers still need
No UK price, battery capacity, electric-only range, power output or charging specification is published on the launch page. There is also no exact launch day or customer delivery timetable. Figures for a V27 sold elsewhere should not be substituted for those missing UK details.
The company explicitly warns that its images and video may show non-UK vehicles and optional accessories. That makes the eventual UK equipment list especially important: the appearance of a feature in promotional material is not a promise that it will be standard.
For buyers comparing electrified SUVs, the next useful information will be the final hybrid configuration, usable electric range, local support network and on-the-road price. Until those are published, a value comparison would be premature.
