On November 21, the iCAR V27 made its debut at the 23rd Guangzhou International Auto Show, marking another breakthrough for the iCAR brand in the mid-to-large family SUV market. As the latest model in the iCAR brand V series, the V27 offers travel experiences with its high aesthetics, spacious interior, golden range-extending power, performance, and safety for individualistic players and avant-garde families.
The design philosophy of the iCAR V27 blends the essence of future classic design to create a unique style. The body dimensions are 4909 (small backpack version)/5055 (spare tire version) x 1976 x 1894mm, with a wheelbase of 2910mm. The four wheels are pushed to the corners, with a short front overhang paired with a long hood, body, and wheelbase, sketching a rugged-styled proportion. The unique “Scoop” cut surface design imbues the exterior with exquisite details. Ultra-low window lines and a high side window ratio design create a transparent view, while the front face features 8 replaceable color parts, a highly integrated tech island, LEGO-style taillights, and two styles of rear doors—small backpack/spare tire—that demonstrate personalized expression and refinement.
The V27’s interior design embraces the “Interstellar Cabin” concept, integrating future technology with rugged aesthetics. It introduces the segment’s first “Interstellar Porthole” dual canopy and a floating “Sky Island” roof, incorporating ambient lighting and expansion functions. The canopy’s layered glass offers a UV blocking rate of 99.9%. The main driver’s command long seat provides a high sitting position, supports six-way adjustment and three-stage ventilation heating. Combined with a 69.9% “household rate,” an interior height of 1357mm, and wide-area windows, it creates a spacious and comfortable space. The vehicle also offers 50 diverse storage spaces.
In terms of the power system, the iCAR V27 is equipped with Chery’s “Golden Range-Extending” system based on one of China’s top ten 1.5T dedicated range-extending engines, achieving a thermal efficiency of 45.79% and generating 3.71 kWh of electricity per liter of fuel. The entire series is equipped with a 34.3kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, offering an electric range of over 200 km and a combined range of over 1200 km. The V27 is also equipped with a 455 horsepower dual-motor at the front and rear, with a zero-to-hundred acceleration time of just 5 seconds. With deep tuning by the top international racing team Proraction and the support of a super four-wheel drive system, the V27 continues iCAR’s driving control genes.
In terms of intelligence and safety performance, the V27 is equipped with the advanced Horizon HSD intelligent driving system, co-developed with partners like Hesai to create the “Falcon 700” intelligent assistance system. It boasts three major advantages: “ultra-low latency, advanced prediction, and superior vehicle control.” The new car meets the dual five-star safety standards of both China and Europe, utilizing an 11-horizontal and 11-vertical frame body structure, with high-strength steel accounting for over 76%.
