In a bold strategic move reflecting its ambition to expand globally, Chinese automaker iCAR has unveiled its all new iCAR V27, which will soon adopt its international name, iCAUR V27. The world premiere of this model is set to take place in Dubai on August 1, 2025, highlighting the brand’s focus on smart markets across the Gulf region, Africa, and Latin America.
The V27 belongs to the premium extended range hybrid SUV category and stands as the most advanced and high end model in the company’s history, rightfully earning its position as the flagship of the iCAR lineup. This new model embodies iCAR’s evolution in the new energy segment, designed for off road capability while blending high performance, luxury, and sustainable technologies in a refined and modern package.
Exterior Design That Blends Power with Sophistication
The V27 draws its design inspiration from the bold styling philosophy seen in earlier models like the iCAR V23 and iCAR 03. However, this new flagship adds a refined and mature touch that gives it a striking visual presence. At the front, LED headlights with a unique square housing and circular inner frame, referred to as the Iron Eye design, create a sharp yet elegant look. The multi slat black front grille further enhances the SUV’s aggressive character.
In terms of size, the V27 stretches beyond 5 meters in length, offering a spacious cabin ideal for families and adventure seekers. Clean, straight lines and sharp angles dominate the side profile, while black cladding around the wheels and lower body emphasizes the vehicle’s off road readiness. At the rear, vertical taillights, a side hinged tailgate, and a clever small backpack style design element reflect the vehicle’s focus on travel, utility, and long distance journeys.
Advanced Hybrid Powertrain with an Impressive 200 km Electric Range
The iCAR V27 is powered by an Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) system that combines a primary electric motor with a compact 1.5 liter gasoline engine acting as a generator to extend driving range. The vehicle is offered in two main configurations to suit different driving needs:
Standard variant: Rear wheel drive with a single electric motor
High end variant: Dual motor setup with all-wheel drive for enhanced power and stability
The total output for the all wheel drive version reaches 335 kilowatts, equivalent to approximately 449 horsepower, positioning the V27 among the most powerful hybrid SUVs on the market. The pure electric driving range, based on the CLTC standard, is an impressive 200 kilometers, making it ideal for daily urban commuting without the need to activate the gasoline engine.
This advanced system is designed for drivers who want a quiet and efficient electric experience for city driving, while maintaining the freedom to travel long distances without relying entirely on charging infrastructure. At the same time, it delivers instant torque and robust performance for off road adventures and rugged terrain.
New Brand Identity iCAUR Launches from Dubai
iCAR has strategically chosen Dubai as the global stage to unveil its new brand identity for international markets. The brand will now operate globally under the name iCAUR, a name that offers a smooth, internationally friendly pronunciation while maintaining a strong connection to the original iCAR, striking a balance between brand heritage and global appeal.
The rebranding coincides with the debut of three major models: the all new iCAR V27, alongside the iCAR V23 and iCAR 03. Together, they form a diverse lineup of electric vehicles aimed at multiple market segments. This launch marks a bold move toward penetrating emerging smart markets in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, with full scale international expansion set to begin in 2026.
Pricing and Official Launch Timeline
The global unveiling of the iCAR V27 is scheduled for August 1, 2025, in Dubai, marking the debut of the brand’s new international identity, iCAUR.
In the Chinese market, the vehicle is expected to go on sale in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a projected price range between 200,000 and 250,000 yuan, which is approximately 101,800 to 127,000 AED.
International expansion is set to begin in 2026, as part of iCAUR’s strategic plan to establish a strong presence across emerging smart markets worldwide.
The iCAR V27 represents a significant leap forward for the company, combining premium SUV design, robust performance, and long electric range, all under a bold global vision that takes off from the heart of the GCC region.
