iCAUR successfully concluded an exclusive media test drive for the V27 all-round hybrid SUV, showcasing its premium on-road capabilities against the vibrant backdrop of Jeddah’s coastal landscape.
On February 5th, iCAUR invited top-tier automotive media, including Motory, for an immersive experience that spanned Jeddah’s urban centers and the high-speed highways leading to King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC).
Philosophy Meets Engineering
The journey began at Jeddah’s prestigious Millionaire Restaurant. Here, the iCAUR Saudi Arabia team detailed the V27’s design philosophy and core technologies. This session provided media guests with a deep dive into iCAUR’s brand vision before they took the wheel to test the V27’s real-world strengths.
Golden REEV Technology: Eliminating Range Anxiety
As the first mass-production model featuring the Golden REEV system, the V27 is engineered for the long distances of the Middle East. Key performance benchmarks include:
- 1.5T Range-Extender: A dedicated engine boasting 45.79% thermal efficiency.
- Fuel-to-Electric Conversion: Generates 3.71kWh of electricity per liter.
- Total Range: Over 1,000km, effectively solving long-distance travel concerns for Saudi drivers.
- The Power of Dual Motors: 0 to 100km/h in 5 Seconds
In city traffic, the V27 offers a whisper-quiet, refined ride with linear acceleration. However, on the open highway, the SUV transforms. The dual-motor setup unleashes 455hp, propelling the five-meter vehicle from 0 to 100km/h in just 5 seconds.
Despite its size, the V27 handles with sports-car precision. Thanks to a Prodrive-tuned chassis and the i-AWD (intelligent All-Wheel Drive) system, the SUV remains planted and responsive through high-speed corners. One media representative noted, "I didn’t expect such a large SUV to handle so nimbly—it was enjoyable from start to finish."
A Stellar 3K Intelligent Cockpit
The interior of the V27 is a hub of high-tech luxury, featuring:
- 15.4-inch 3K HD Touchscreen: Crisp visuals powered by the Qualcomm 8155 chip for a lag-free experience.
- Climate Comfort: Ventilated and heated seats paired with a temperature-controlled armrest compartment.
- Premium Materials: Designed specifically to keep long-distance journeys comfortable and engaging.
Strategic Middle East Launch
While previous tests at Riyadh’s Edge of the World highlighted the V27’s rugged off-road DNA, the Jeddah event proved its dominance as a sophisticated city commuter and highway cruiser.
Tailored specifically for the regional market, the iCAUR V27 is scheduled for its global launch in the UAE on February 8th, followed by Bahrain on February 10th. The V27 is set to inject fresh energy into the Gulf’s premium New Energy Vehicle (NEV) segment. For more news and detailed reports on various car models, visit Motory Car News section.
