On the eve of the Beijing Auto Show we’ve already snagged some pictures of the new Chery iCar 03T on the Chery booth before the show opens tomorrow (April 25). The Chery iCar 03T is a modified and upgraded version of the iCar 03 which went on sale earlier this year.
There was a time that T on a car’s name meant turbo but the iCar 03T is all electric, possibly the T stands for terrain given it is an SUV. Anyway, please let us know in the comments what you think the T stands for!
As you can see from the pictures the iCar 03T is chunkier than the regular car and also it rides 15 mm higher. Dimensions are 4432, 1916 and 1741 mm (l/w/h) with the wheelbase being 2715 mm. Not only does the car get a new wider front bumper but the wheel arches are also bigger. In those arches are new black wheels shod with 11 mm wider tires. Ground clearance is now 200 mm and the approach, departure and passing angles are 28, 31, and 20 degrees respectively. Although the spy shots didn’t extend to the rear, teaser images show that the iCar 03T gains a new off-road style rear bumper.
On the roof is a rack complete with a front illumination strip. There are no pictures of the interior but there are meant to be upgrades to the intelligent cockpit.
Both single motor and dual motor versions of the iCar 03T exist and these seem to have exactly the same setup as with the standard car. Single motor versions have a 135 kW motor on the rear axle with maximum torque of 220 Nm. All-wheel drive versions add an additional 70 kW motor to the front axle with 165 Nm of torque. Battery specifications have not been announced but Chery claims the car has more than 500 km range. Currently only the 4WD versions of the iCar 03 achieve such a range using a 69.77 kWh battery meaning that battery of the iCar 03T will be either the same size or larger. Acceleration time for 0-100 km/h is 6.5 seconds. Upgrades are also meant to have been carried out on the intelligent all-wheel drive system.
The Chery iCar 03T will unveil officially tomorrow at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show.
