The iCAR V27 uses a "boxy" shell to house a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5 seconds, a range of 1200 km, 50 storage compartments, and a spaceship-like cabin. It doesn't cater to "minimalism," but redefines the boundaries of the family SUV with its hardcore configuration and emotional design.
On March 3, it will officially debut—not as a press conference, but as a declaration of China's hardcore new energy.
