Chery iCAR recently released the latest official image of its iCAR 03(photo | configuration | inquiry)T, showing off a number of design details. The iCAR 03T will debut at the Chengdu Auto Show, which opens on August 30, and the price is likely to be announced at that time.
The iCAR 03T is based on the existing iCAR 03 platform, but is designed to be more off-road. The new car’s side and rear design details are very impressive, including air vents in the front fender, hidden door handles, “i” tail lights and high brake lights. The rear is also equipped with a side-opening taildoor and may have a streaming internal rearview mirror, as there is a camera to the left of the high brake light.
The show car has arrived in the store, and the iCAR 03T has added an off-road style package compared to the iCAR 03, with a larger front and rear surrounding size, two side headlights with air intakes, and a wide-body wheel arch design that further enhances its off-road atmosphere.

According to the declaration information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the body length of the iCAR 03T is 4433 (4380) /1916/1741 mm, and the wheelbase is 2715 mm.
