RETRO CHARGE

Compact, boxy, and bold, the new iCAUR V23 brings an old-school SUV attitude to South Africa’ s growing new-energy market.

The all-new iCAUR V23 is a welcome retro-inspired electric SUV addition to the local market, expanding the brand’ s local line-up alongside the more upmarket 03T. It will be available in two derivatives: the value-focused 2WD and the more powerful AWD.

The 2WD produces 100kW and 180Nm from a 59.93kWh battery, while the AWD increases output to 155kW and 292Nm and receives a larger 81.8kWh battery. NEDCestimated range is rated at 360km and 430km respectively.

Both derivatives come well equipped, with a 15.4-inch
