DAVAO CITY — Chinese electric vehicle brand iCAUR has made its first-ever foray into the Mindanao market, staging an exhibit at the Expansion Atrium of SM Davao from October 21 to 26, 2026. The showcase puts the spotlight on the iCAUR V23 and V27, giving Davaoeños a firsthand look at the future of driving.
A Bold Entrance into the Southern Market
The exhibit marks a significant milestone for the brand, which is distributed in the Philippines by Omoda Jaecoo Philippines under the Chery Group umbrella. The event aims to introduce iCAUR’s distinctive boxy styling and electrified technology to a new audience in the southern Philippines, highlighting the brand’s growing dealer network across the country.
The choice of SM Davao as the venue underscores the city’s growing importance as a commercial hub in Mindanao. By bringing the vehicles directly to the community, iCAUR allows potential buyers to get up close with the bold designs and explore the features that set these SUVs apart from conventional offerings.
