iCAUR Philippines gave Philippine media and automotive industry guests their first opportunity to see and test-drive iCAUR vehicles in the country during the iCAUR Media Test Drive Event, held on September 28 and 29, 2026, at Forrèsta Cafe, Villar Avenue, Dasmariñas, Cavite.
Held ahead of the brand’s official Philippine launch, the exclusive two-day event provided members of the media with an early and firsthand experience of iCAUR’s vehicles, allowing them to explore the brand’s distinctive design, electric mobility technology, intelligent features, and driving experience.
For the participating media guests, the event marked their first opportunity to see iCAUR vehicles up close and get behind the wheel in the Philippines, providing a closer look at the brand as it prepares to officially enter the local automotive market.
Rather than static displays alone, iCAUR Philippines invited guests to experience the vehicles through an actual test-drive session, offering a driver’s perspective on their design, technology, comfort, and road performance.
The event previewed iCAUR’s V23 and V27 ahead of their local launch.
V23: Retro-Inspired Electric Mobility
Rather than simply presenting the vehicles through static displays, iCAUR Philippines invited guests to experience the vehicles firsthand through an actual test-drive session.
The iCAUR V23 occupies a distinctive space in the electric SUV segment, combining retro-inspired styling with modern EV technology in a compact, boxy package .
Measuring 4,220mm long, 1,915mm wide, and 1,845mm tall on a 2,735mm wheelbase, the V23 is positioned as a lifestyle-oriented electric SUV with genuine light off-road capability. Its design language—circular LED headlamps, near-vertical windscreen, chunky wheel arches, and a side-opening tailgate—evokes classic off-roaders while remaining unmistakably contemporary. Ground clearance of 210mm and 600mm wading depth give the V23 capabilities beyond what most urban EV buyers would require.
V27: Golden REEV Platform Delivers Extended Range with Off-Road Muscle
The iCAUR V27 enters the lineup as a mid-size SUV powered by iCAUR’s “Golden REEV” range-extended electric vehicle system. This configuration pairs electric propulsion with an on-board 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that functions solely as a generator, replenishing the battery during travel .
The V27’s dimensions place it in the full-size SUV category. At 5,045mm long, 1,976mm wide, and 1,894mm tall on a 2,900mm wheelbase, its proportions are comparable to established large off-road SUVs.
Building a Local Network for iCAUR Ownership
The media test drive comes as iCAUR Philippines to establish the foundation of its local operations ahead of its official market launch. On September 23, 2026, iCAUR Philippines formally welcomed its first batch of dealer partners during its first Dealer Signing Ceremony at SMX Convention Center Aura in Taguig City .
This milestone marks an important step in expanding iCAUR’s presence across the Philippines—including Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, and Cebu—together with its dealer partners: MG Gateway Group, Britannica United, Laus Auto Group, and DC Automotive.
Beyond vehicle sales, the expanding dealer network is intended to provide customers with accessible points for vehicle inquiries, product assistance, test drives, customer support, and after-sales services, helping establish a more complete ownership experience as iCAUR enters the Philippine market.
With the first batch of dealer partners now onboard, iCAUR Philippines is strengthening its local retail and after-sales foundation ahead of the arrival of its vehicles in the hands of Filipino customers.
iCAUR as the second brand introduce by Omoda & Jaecoo Motor Philippines, is focused on delivering a new generation of electric mobility that combines distinctive automotive design, intelligent technology, and lifestyle-oriented functionality.
With its first Philippine media test drive completed and its initial dealer network taking shape, iCAUR Philippines moves closer to its official market debut, bringing its vision of electric mobility and a connected ownership experience to Filipino consumers.
