iCaur Malaysia is giving its 2026-registered cars a longer warranty for the parts EV buyers tend to worry about most.
The company said the power battery, drive unit and high-voltage components on all 2026-registered iCaur vehicles are now covered for 10 years or 200,000km. That complements a seven-year vehicle warranty, with existing comprehensive warranty protections retained.
It is a bold move for a young brand still building trust. Batteries and high-voltage hardware are the expensive bits in an EV, so longer coverage gives owners a clearer safety net after the early honeymoon period is over.
The warranty upgrade comes as iCaur Malaysia said it had crossed 3,000 registered cars nationwide less than a year after its local debut.
The company also claimed it is now among the top three EV brands in the country, while the boxy V23 was described as Malaysia’s most popular non-national EV in May 2026.
iCaur’s early pull is not hard to understand. The 03 and V23 do not follow the usual smooth-soap SUV template. Both lean into a boxy, retro-rugged look, which helps them stand out in a fast-growing EV market where many models still look as if they were drawn by the same committee.
iCaur Malaysia senior director Francis Chin said local response had shown that drivers were looking for EVs with “character, capability, and confidence built in”.
He added that the company was investing further in the ownership journey through stronger warranty protection, a wider network and dealership partners.
That network is also growing. On May 15, iCaur opened its first boutique showroom at Pavilion Bukit Jalil, operated by Rover Drive. Five days later, it launched its 15th full-fledged showroom in Seremban, operated by NexV Synergy.
The company currently has 21 sales points across Malaysia and is targeting 30 by the end of 2026. It also said high-capacity service centres will continue to be rolled out to support owners after delivery.
