Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“I had made the test drive with the same icaur V23 as shown in the video 3 weeks ago and was able to take it in more difficult slippery off road. It showed good performance.”

“I see this two-wheel-drive model as a fun town car. That's all.”

Price, service, resale and roads — here

  • The 190mm to 210mm ground clearance is frequently cited as a major advantage for local potholes and monsoon flooding
  • The tax bracket for this EV makes it a more attractive proposition than similarly sized petrol SUVs
  • SPG Automobiles (Chery's distributor) is expected to handle the service, which provides some level of trust given their existing network
  • The iCAUR V23 is on sale in Nepal at an ex-showroom price of Rs. 53.99 lakh across two variants.
  • Nepali buyers are paying close attention to service-centre capability and spare-parts availability because the brand is still relatively new in the local market.
  • The vehicle’s ground clearance and SUV shape are relevant for Nepal’s potholes, rough roads and hill routes, but buyers should distinguish between an adventure-oriented EV and a true all-wheel-drive off-roader.
  • Charging access outside Kathmandu and major highway corridors remains an important ownership consideration for buyers planning frequent long-distance travel.
  • Resale value is still difficult to judge because the V23 has a limited ownership history in Nepal and the brand has a relatively small local used-car market.
