Nishat Group is preparing to introduce two iCAUR new-energy SUVs in Pakistan, expanding its presence in the country’s growing electric vehicle market.
The company plans to bring the iCAUR V23 and V27 through its automotive subsidiary NexGen Auto. Local reports suggest both models could enter the Pakistani market this year. However, the company has not yet announced official prices or exact launch dates.
The V23 will target buyers seeking a fully electric SUV. The larger V27 uses range-extended electric vehicle technology, commonly known as REEV.

Both vehicles have recently appeared in Pakistan ahead of their formal introduction. Their arrival suggests that testing, homologation and other preparations are moving forward.
iCAUR V23 brings dual-motor AWD setup
The iCAUR V23 is a compact electric SUV with a boxy design and off-road-focused styling.
International markets offer the V23 with rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. Nishat reportedly plans to introduce the dual-motor AWD version in Pakistan.
The AWD model uses an 81.76 kWh NMC lithium battery. Its two electric motors generate a combined 208 horsepower and 292 Nm of torque.
The SUV can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. It offers a claimed driving range of 430 km under the NEDC testing cycle, according to specifications reported for the version expected in Pakistan.
Official iCAUR specifications from Malaysia confirm the dual-motor setup, 292 Nm torque and 7.5-second acceleration time. The international model also supports up to 104 kW DC fast charging and 6.6 kW AC charging.

The V23 also offers regenerative braking and Vehicle-to-Load functionality. V2L allows owners to use the vehicle’s battery to power external electrical equipment.
Drivers can choose from six driving modes through iCAUR’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system.
V23 designed for rough roads and off-road driving
The V23 combines its electric powertrain with features aimed at rough-road and recreational driving.
The SUV offers up to 210 mm of ground clearance in its unladen configuration. It also has a 43-degree approach angle and a 41-degree departure angle.
Its claimed water-wading depth reaches 600 mm. These figures give the V23 stronger off-road credentials than many conventional urban electric crossovers.
The vehicle measures around 4,220 mm long, 1,915 mm wide and 1,845 mm high. Its wheelbase stretches to 2,735 mm.

The international AWD version also uses 21-inch wheels with 265/45 R21 tyres.
Inside, the V23 offers a large 15.4-inch central display in international specifications. It also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in selected markets.
Level 2 ADAS among key safety features
Safety technology forms another major part of the V23 package.
The expected specification includes six airbags and a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System.
Its driver assistance features include adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking and blind spot detection. The system also includes lane departure prevention and traffic jam assist.
A 540-degree 3D camera system helps drivers monitor the vehicle’s surroundings and areas directly beneath it. Front and rear parking sensors further assist during tight manoeuvres.
Electronic stability control and traction control also feature in the safety package.
Official iCAUR material for the international V23 confirms Level 2 ADAS availability. It lists adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and autonomous emergency braking among the key functions.
The V23 will form part of a broader push by Nishat Group into Pakistan’s new-energy vehicle segment.

NexGen Auto and Chery announced their partnership to introduce iCAUR vehicles in Pakistan in April 2026. The companies said the collaboration would bring electric and range-extended vehicles to the country.
The upcoming V27 will take a different approach. Instead of relying only on battery power, it uses a petrol engine as a range extender while electric motors drive the vehicle.
For now, Nishat has not announced final Pakistan specifications, booking details or prices for either SUV. Their recent arrival, however, indicates that iCAUR’s entry into Pakistan has moved closer to the commercial launch stage.
