In a world where SUVs are increasingly judged not just by power or style, but by their all-around capability, the iCAUR V27 emerges as a bold statement. Making its global debut at the 23rd China Guangzhou International Motor Show, the V27 represents the brand’s new flagship, combining classic SUV proportions with cutting-edge technology and uncompromising refinement. With global rollout planned for 2026, the V27 is designed to appeal to modern drivers who expect versatility, comfort, and performance in equal measure.
A Design That Marries Heritage and Innovation
At the heart of the V27 is iCAUR’s “Future Classic” design language—a philosophy that fuses iconic SUV aesthetics with contemporary sophistication. Measuring 4,899 mm in length in its Small Package version (or 5,045 mm with a full spare tyre), the V27 presents a commanding presence on the road. Its width of 1,976 mm, height of 1,894 mm, and wheelbase of 2,900 mm create a robust, confident stance, further enhanced by a near 1-to-1 width-to-height ratio that emphasizes ruggedness.
Details matter, and the V27 is rich with them. The vehicle’s elongated body, short front overhang, and long bonnet project authority, while unique scoop surfaces add a refined, sculptural element. A low window line paired with large side windows provides panoramic views, connecting occupants with their surroundings. At the front, eight interchangeable colour elements allow for personalisation, while retro-inspired taillights at the rear recall the brand’s heritage. Customers can also choose between two tailgate designs to suit their taste and lifestyle.
Inside: Technology Meets Comfort
Stepping into the V27, occupants are welcomed by the “Stellar Concept” interior, an innovative approach that blends modern technology with a robust, user-focused cabin. A class-first Stellar Porthole dual panoramic sunroof opens up the sky above, complemented by a “floating” Star Island ceiling and ambient lighting that crafts a distinctive atmosphere at night. The sunroof glass blocks 99.9% of UV rays, offering comfort without compromise.
Driver and passengers enjoy high seating positions, six-way adjustable seats with three-level ventilation and heating, and expansive windows that make the cabin feel spacious and open. Practicality is key: the V27 offers 50 storage spaces designed for everyday use and family travel, while its 69.9% usable space ratio ensures that interior dimensions are both generous and functional.
Performance for the Modern Era
Under the hood, the V27 features iCAUR’s advanced range extender electric vehicle (REEV) system. A turbocharged 1.5-litre engine with 45.79% thermal efficiency complements a 34.3 kWh battery, delivering 156 km of electric-only range and a total driving range exceeding 1,000 km. Dual motors produce 339 kW, propelling the V27 from 0-100 km/h in just five seconds.
Performance is enhanced by a chassis tuned with the expertise of the Prodrive racing team, paired with an advanced 4WD system. Whether navigating city streets or winding mountain roads, the V27 aims to deliver stability, precision, and responsive handling—traits rarely associated with SUVs of this size.
Safety That Inspires Confidence
iCAUR has made safety a cornerstone of the V27 experience. The SUV meets five-star safety standards in both China and Europe, featuring an 11-by-11 safety cage constructed from more than 76% high-strength steel. This framework is designed to protect occupants across a wide range of driving conditions, making the V27 as reliable off-road as it is in urban environments.
A Global Vision
With the V27, iCAUR is not just launching an SUV—it is defining a new category of classic-inspired vehicles for the new energy era. Positive reception since its first public appearance in Dubai last August has confirmed global interest, and the Guangzhou International Motor Show further cemented its status as a benchmark in electrified SUVs.
As Hans Greyling, General Manager of iCAUR South Africa, explains, “Modern consumers no longer want vehicles built around a single standout feature. They expect products that perform consistently well across the board. The V27 embodies that shift, combining classic-inspired design with strong performance and versatile functionality.”
For 2026, the iCAUR V27 promises to be more than a flagship—it is a statement of intent: SUVs can be powerful, elegant, and intelligent without compromise. The future of premium, electrified driving is here, and it wears the badge of iCAUR.
