The Chery Fulwin X3 (Chinese :奇瑞风云X3; pinyin :Qíruì Fēngyún X3), previously known as iCar 03. is a battery electric compact crossover SUV produced by Chery Automobile under the Chery and iCar brand. The vehicle was first presented at the Chengdu Motor Show in 2023. It is exported since 2024 under various names, including Jaecoo J6, Chery J6, Aiqar eQ3, and iCaur 03.[9]

History

[edit ]

In April 2023, at Auto Shanghai, Chery unveiled its new iCar brand and the first model, the iCar 03 electric compact crossover SUV. However, this vehicle was brought to the exhibition as a concept car. Later, the production version of the electric crossover was shown.[10]

The letter "i" in the car logo was designed by Cao Xue, chief designer of the Guangzhou Academy of Arts and the author of the mascots of the 2022 Winter Olympics.[11] An additional box is installed in the fifth door.[10]

Interior

[edit ]

The center console of the 03 is covered with a soft cover, there is a large screen in the centre, there are no buttons on the instrument panel, all control is done from the screen and using the buttons on the steering wheel.[9]

Specifications

[edit ]

The body of the 03 is made of steel and aluminium, and a sliding sectional panoramic roof can be installed for an additional fee. The front and rear suspensions are mutually independent. The size of the wheels is 19 inches.[10]

The 03 powerplant consists of a 185-horsepower motor with electronically controlled all-wheel drive and a CATL battery. The maximum speed of iCar 03 is 150 km/h (93 mph), and the battery reserve can reach 500 km (310 mi). In addition, the car is equipped with solar panels mounted on the roof to increase the range.[9]

iCar 03T

[edit ]

A premium and sportier variant called the iCar 03T was launched in 2024. The 03T was developed by Zhimi Technology's car manufacturing division after the team merged with Chery's iCar division. The 03T was developed as an improved version of the original 03 to fit better with the later launched V23 and future products, featuring a restyled body kit, wide wheel arches, more offroad inspired gears, and improved performance.[12]

Chery Fulwin X3/X3L/X3 Plus (2025)

[edit ]

The Chery Fulwin X3L and Fulwin X3 was unveiled on 21 July 2025 and 30 July 2025[13] [14] as the BEV/EREV variant of the iCar 03/03T to be sold under the Fulwin NEV product series.[15] The Chery Fulwin X3/X3 Plus and Fulwin X3L went on sale in China on 16 August 2025 and 17 September 2025.[16] [17]

Tianmen Mountain stunt attempt

[edit ]

On 12 November 2025, Chery attempted a stunt to drive a Fulwin X3L up the 999 steps of Tianmen Mountain in Hunan, China. The event was intended to replicate a 2018 marketing stunt performed by the Range Rover Sport. During the ascent, the driver lost control of the vehicle approximately halfway up the stairway. The car rolled backward down the steps and collided with the historic stone railings, which prevented the vehicle from falling over the adjacent cliff. Following the incident, Chery issued a formal apology and pledged to fully restore the damaged infrastructure and compensate for the resulting damages.[18]
