The iCaur V27 Long Range Edition will debut in China on September 30, equipped with a CATL-supplied 51.2 kWh battery, representing a 49.3% boost compared with the 34.3 kWh pack. Thanks to the larger cell, the model claims up to 300 km of electric driving under the CLTC test, which translates to roughly 246 km on the WLTP cycle.
The Long Range Edition supports DC charging, which can bring the battery from 30-80% recharge in 17 minutes, and its V2L capability is increased from 3.3 kW to 6.0 kW. The powertrain for the Long Range Edition is unchanged from the 34.3 kWh version, featuring a dual-motor AWD configuration that outputs 455 PS and 505 Nm combined.
The exterior dimensions of the V27 Long Range Edition are unchanged from its stablemates, measuring 4,909 mm long, 1,976 mm wide, and 1,894 mm tall, with a 2,910 mm wheelbase. The approach and departure angles are 24 degrees and 23 degrees respectively, and the water wading depth is rated at 600 mm.
Inside, the V27 features a slim 8.8-inch instrument display and a 15.4-inch infotainment touchscreen on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 processor. The vehicle also includes toggle switches on the roof, dual smartphone holders with one wireless charger, and air-con vents and mounting points on the backs of the front seats for attachments such as a tablet holder.
The iCaur V27 has been sighted in Malaysia, and iCaur Malaysia has confirmed that the V27 will be sold in Malaysia, with its launch potentially coinciding with the start of CKD local assembly for this model. In Thailand, the V27 4WD with the 34.3 kWh battery is accompanied by a 2WD powertrain version that gets a 20.4 kWh battery pack rated to give 95 km of EV range on the NEDC cycle, or around 80 km on the WLTP standard.
