iCAUR V27 Makes Its Middle East Debut : New SUV
The Middle East’s green mobility shift just gained a bold new contender. iCAUR has officially entered the region with the launch of the iCAUR V27 SUV, marking its UAE debut as the first step in a wider Middle East expansion.
Designed as a Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV), the iCAUR V27 blends electric efficiency with long-distance confidence, a combination that fits perfectly with UAE driving conditions.
Electric Where It Matters, Range When You Need It
The iCAUR V27 doesn’t force drivers to choose between clean urban driving and long-haul freedom. Its REEV system pairs electric motors and a battery with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that acts only as a generator.
What that means for UAE roads:
- Total driving range exceeding 900 km
- Up to 150 km of pure electric driving for daily city use
- Zero-emissions driving for short commutes without range anxiety
It’s a smart solution for a region where distances can be long but sustainability goals are getting stricter.
Strong Performance, Not Just Efficiency
Eco-friendly doesn’t mean boring. The iCAUR V27 delivers 449 hp, offering confident highway performance and quick acceleration when needed.
Key performance figures include:
- Top speed of 170 km/h for rear-wheel-drive models
- Top speed of 180 km/h for all-wheel-drive versions
According to iCAUR Middle East’s General Manager, Zhang Xiaolong (Tim), the V27 arrives at the right moment as the UAE pushes for cleaner mobility without compromising driving enjoyment.
Retro-Inspired Design Built for Middle East Roads
The iCAUR V27 stands out visually with a boxy, retro-inspired SUV design that feels purpose-built for the region. It blends classic off-road styling with modern detailing.
Exterior highlights include:
- Square LED housings with circular daytime running lights
- A bold, functional front grille
- Dual sunroof for added openness
- Large windows and upright pillars for excellent visibility
- Wide wheel arches ready for larger tyre upgrades
It’s a design that looks equally at home in the city or heading into the desert.
A High-Tech, Practical Interior
Inside, the iCAUR V27 focuses on modern comfort and everyday usability.
Cabin features include:
- 15.4-inch floating infotainment display
- 15-speaker premium audio system
- 64-colour ambient lighting
- 48 smart storage compartments
- Flat-floor second row for better passenger comfort
The result is a cabin that feels spacious, tech-forward, and ready for daily UAE life.
Off-Road Ready When the Pavement Ends
Beyond city driving, the iCAUR V27 offers genuine capability:
- 220 mm ground clearance
- 1.6-tonne towing capacity
This makes it suitable for weekend escapes, light off-road use, and outdoor lifestyles, a key expectation for SUVs in the Emirates.
Drive UAE Take
The arrival of the iCAUR V27 in the UAE signals how quickly the SUV market is evolving. By combining long electric range, strong performance, retro-inspired design, and off-road practicality, iCAUR is positioning itself as a serious new player in the eco-friendly SUV space.
At Drive UAE, we see the V27 as a compelling option for drivers who want sustainable mobility without giving up style, capability, or freedom, a balance that matters more than ever on Middle East roads.
