  Navigating the electric SUV market? The rugged "boxy" SUV segment   offers compelling choices.   This guide compares the discontinued iCAR 03, its upgraded successor, the Chery Fulwin X3, and the popular Leopard 3, focusing on their value as pre-owned vehicles to help you make an informed decision.     The Chery Siblings: iCAR 03 vs. Fulwin X3   The iCAR 03 is no longer in production under the iCAR brand. Chery Group  integrated it into the Fulwin brand, upgrading it into the Fulwin X3 series. This was a strategic move for clearer brand positioning. The Fulwin X3 represents a refreshed and enhanced version, inheriting the iCAR 03's core design and technology.   For used car buyers, this means a used iCAR 03 offers the original "boxy" experience, while a used Fengyun X3 is a slightly newer iteration with more standard features.   Chery iCAR 03 (Used) - The Original Fun Box iCAR 03 Exterior   The iCAR 03 established the "square box" formula. Its appeal lies in its rugged, individualistic design and available dual-motor all-wheel drive. For used buyers, it represents the original template: solid but with older tech in base models. Key Selling Points: Distinctive looks, available dual-motor AWD (279 hp), and solid build quality with a full-aluminum body. Considerations: Base models use a slower Snapdragon 6155 chip. Higher-spec features were often optional. Best For: A buyer wanting a capable, stylish used EV who doesn't need the absolute latest tech. iCAR 03 interior   Used Market Value: A 2-year-old iCAR 03 originally priced from ¥70,380 ($10,730) can now be found in the used market for roughly $10,000–$14,450, depending on condition and mileage.   Specification iCAR 03 (Pre-owned Focus) Drivetrain RWD (184 hp) / AWD (279 hp)
