The second half of 2026 is about to get busier. Chinese off-roading brand iCaur has announced that it will make its entry into the Philippine market this October, with an initial lineup of two electrified SUVs. As is the trend with off-road-capable vehicles these days, the incoming brand’s models have chunky, boxy profiles.
For iCaur, this retro-inspired design is a core concept to its brand. The brand shares that it understands the enduring influence of classic auto design, defining it as a “staying power that outlasts fads, and a trust that grows stronger with every journey.” As a result, its vehicles take influence from a number of renowned legacy off-roaders.

iCaur’s initial lineup for the Philippine market will include the all-electric V23 and the range-extended EV V27. Although no specs for either SUV have been shared just yet, the brand does highlight that its models encourage personalization and customization.

Technology is also a highlight with iCaur’s offerings. Similar to its stance on retro styling, iCaur describes its approach to technology as focused on seamless integration into the vehicle experience instead of chasing gimmicks: “ For iCaur, technology is never about complexity—it’s about making every journey simpler and more effortless.”
