iCAUR 03 Arrives in Malaysia

First iCAUR Model Launched in Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur, 9 September 2025 — iCAUR Malaysia has officially introduced its very first model to the local market, the iCAUR 03. This C-segment SUV is the first fully electric adventure-ready SUV in Malaysia, pioneering the BEV adventure segment with an impressive combination of performance, safety, and versatility.

Philosophy and Brand Identity
Emily Lek, Vice President of iCAUR Malaysia, highlighted that the philosophy “Born to Play” or “Ready to Explore” defines the DNA of every iCAUR model. She added that this launch not only introduces a new model but also debuts a new EV adventure segment globally, with Malaysia as the first market.

Design and Engineering Excellence

The SUV measures 4,406 mm in length, 1,910 mm in width, and 1,715 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,715 mm. Featuring the i-BOX design language, sharp character lines, dynamic LED lights, and a bold SUV presence, the iCAUR 03 blends form with function. Its 28-degree approach angle, 32-degree departure angle, and up to 55% gradient capability make it fit for both daily drives and rugged conditions.

Robust Structure and Battery Protection

Safety is central, with an aluminum monocoque chassis offering up to 30 years of anti-rust protection and a torsional rigidity of 31,882 Nm—exceeding modern sports cars. The battery is secured by a 4-layer IPx8 protection system, including high-temperature mica ceramic shielding and a reinforced 10mm aluminum base plate.

Equipped with Level 2 ADAS, the SUV offers comprehensive safety features including AEB, ACC, LDW, BSD, and TJA. Additional highlights include a 540-degree Around View Monitor, 50W wireless charging, and NFC access.
