About the iCAUR V23
The iCAUR V23 RWD arrives in Nepal as a distinctive retro-inspired electric off-roader that targets buyers who want something more characterful than the typical city EV, yet still practical for daily use and weekend escapes. With a single rear motor, a sizable LFP battery and a feature-rich cabin in its top V23 RWD guise, it positions itself as a lifestyle EV that can handle Nepali roads while keeping running costs firmly under control at its current ex-showroom price of Rs 53,99,000.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 05 Sept 2026.
Design & styling
The iCAUR V23 leans heavily into a square, upright silhouette with short overhangs and chunky wheel arches that immediately signal a retro off-roader vibe rather than a typical sleek crossover. Its compact footprint combined with generous width and height gives it a planted, boxy stance that should feel manageable in tight city lanes while looking suitably tough on rougher roads. Details like the large central infotainment screen inside, upright dash and simple, functional surfaces continue this utilitarian yet modern theme, and the overall look has been widely noted as a key reason buyers consider the V23 over more conservative EV rivals. In the top V23 RWD variant sold in Nepal, the alloy wheel design, exterior trim and lighting package are configured to emphasise this lifestyle positioning, making it appeal strongly to younger urban buyers and enthusiasts who want their EV to stand out.
Performance & drivetrain
In Nepal, the V23 RWD comes with a single rear-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor paired to a lithium iron phosphate battery of around 60 kWh, offering rear-wheel drive traction and a balance between usable performance and efficiency rather than outright speed. Output from this setup is in the region of 100 kW and 180 Nm, which places the V23 RWD in the same performance ballpark as many compact petrol crossovers, but with the smooth, immediate response typical of EVs and a claimed range of roughly 360–401 km on older test cycles, translating to an expected 300–340 km per charge in mixed Nepali use. As the top V23 RWD variant, Nepal’s car gets the full rear-motor package with multi-link rear suspension and disc brakes all round, so buyers can realistically expect secure highway stability and decent comfort on broken tarmac, even though this remains an urban and light off-road oriented EV rather than a hardcore rock-crawler. Fast DC charging, supported in this generation, should make inter-city travel feasible wherever high-capacity chargers are available, while the relatively modest AC charging rate is better suited to overnight home or office charging than rapid top-ups during the day.

iCAUR V23 in the news
All Nepal auto news →What Nepali buyers & owners are saying — iCAUR V23
Read every owner answer →Compiled from Reddit, Quora, YouTube comments, Nepali auto groups and forums.
- Commentary consistently focuses on how the iCAUR V23 handles Kathmandu valley traffic, hill routes like Thankot and Dhulikhel, and village gravel roads, with owners reporting stable behaviour and sufficient ground clearance for these conditions.
- Charging discussions emphasise home charging on NEA residential tariffs and occasional DC fast‑charging on major corridors; buyers note that 300+ km real‑world range is enough for typical Kathmandu–Pokhara or Chitwan trips with one well‑planned fast‑charge stop.
- Service and parts availability are tied to the SPG Automobiles / Omoda–Jaecoo network, with early buyers watching closely how quickly the distributor builds EV technicians and spare inventory in Kathmandu and major cities.
- Price positioning in the high‑40 to mid‑50 lakh band makes the V23 a lifestyle choice versus more value‑oriented compact EVs; Nepali commenters weigh its off‑road styling, space and ground clearance against missing features and uncertain resale.
- One-time promotional price was Rs 50.99 lakh for in-stock units; new price set at Rs 53.99 lakh ex-showroom per variant.
- Dealership and service network includes showrooms and authorised service centres in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Biratnagar etc.
- Ground clearance of ~210 mm commonly cited, considered adequate for Nepali mixed terrain.
- Concerns raised about spare parts availability outside major cities and resale value of newer brands.
“iCAUR V23 को बडी स्टाइल र रोड प्रिजेन्सले जुन ध्यान खिच्छ, त्यो ५० लाख आसपासका अरू इभीहरूबाट नदेखिएको अनुभव गरियो; तर फिचर र हेडलाइट भने प्राइस अनुसार अपग्रेड भएको भए राम्रो हुन्थ्यो।”
“धुलिखेल–काठमाडौँ मिसाएर चल्दा करिब 310–320 किमि जत्तिको रेन्ज आएको छ, जुन मेरा लागि पर्याप्त छ, तर पहिलो दिन सुनेको 400 किमि दाबीले धेरै आशा जगाएको थियो।”
“गाडीको ग्राउन्ड क्लियरेन्स र सस्पेन्सनले गाउँतिरको कच्ची सडक राम्रोसँग ह्यान्डल गर्यो, तर राति हाईवेमा हेडलाइटले त्यति टाढा नदेखिएकाले auxiliary light राखौँ जस्तो लाग्यो।”
“इलेक्ट्रिक भएर चलानी खर्च निकै कम छ, तर Chery ब्रान्डको रेसले भ्यालु नेपालमा कति टिकाउँछ भनेर सोच्दैछु, किनकि ५० लाख घुम्दा पछि बेच्दा पनि मन थामियोस् लाग्छ।”
“काठमाडौँको भीड र थानकोट–नागढुंगाजस्ता उकालो मिसाएर हेरिएको यथार्थ प्रयोगमा 300+ किमि रेन्ज आएपछि, adventure‑type EV खोज्नेहरूका लागि यो विकल्प राम्रै देखियो।”
“The car is stunning but it needs to be priced below 44 lakhs to counter Nammi Vigo top spec.”

Owners in China have lived with this for 1 year 8 months
The iCAUR V23 has been on sale in China longer than in Nepal, so owners there have answered questions Nepali owners are only starting to. This sits alongside the Nepali sentiment above — it does not replace it. It is sold there as the iCar V23.
- Nepal appears to get a single rear-wheel-drive version with a 59.93 kWh LFP battery, 100 kW motor, and 401 km CLTC claim.
- China offers additional versions beyond the Nepal-spec RWD model, including dual-motor/all-wheel-drive and larger-battery variants.
- Nepal spec version is RWD only 59.93 kWh version; China/other markets offer AWD 81.76 kWh and dual-motor trims; China version has variants with higher power and dual motors that Nepal model lacks
Resale value, service and spare-part costs, warranty terms and charging coverage are set by each market — different duty, different dealer networks, a different used-car market. Read these as context on the vehicle's reputation, never as figures for Nepal.
- Resale, service quality, spare parts access, price, warranty, insurance, and charging-network experience are market-specific and should not be imported from China to Nepal.
- I did not use any Nepal price or ownership-cost figures in the vehicle assessment.
- price in China vs Nepal differ greatly by duties/taxes
- spare parts supply in Nepal may lag behind China
- warranty terms may vary in Nepal
