- V27 REEV due in South Africa in Q4.
- 335 kW and 505 Nm, all-wheel drive.
- 150 km electric-only range, 1 000 km combined.
- 0 to 100 km/h in a claimed 5.9 seconds.
- Pricing and launch dates still to come.
Due in the fourth quarter, the V27 REEV will expand the local iCAUR line-up as a large all-wheel-drive SUV that pairs electric drive with a petrol range extender. It will sit as the flagship of the brand’s range in South Africa.
Two electric motors drive all four wheels. A 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine never powers the wheels directly. Instead, it works purely as an on-board generator, supplying electricity when the battery needs support.
iCAUR V27 power and performance
Up front sits a 150 kW motor, with a 185 kW unit at the rear, for combined outputs of 335 kW and 505 Nm. The SUV runs from 0 to 100 km/h in a claimed 5.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 180 km/h.
Shannon Gahagan, Head of Brand and Marketing at iCAUR and OMODA & JAECOO South Africa, said the vehicle “delivers full electric capability for the weekday commute alongside the freedom to take on long trips without charging delays.”
Battery, charging and range
Energy is stored in a 34.31 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, good for a claimed electric-only range of up to 150 km (NEDC). Total range extends to 1 000 km with the range extender in use. AC charging runs at 6.6 kW, while DC fast charging takes the battery from 30% to 80% in 13 minutes under optimal conditions. Vehicle-to-load capability supplies up to 6 kW to external devices.
V27 dimensions, cabin and safety
The five-seater measures 5 045 mm long, 1 976 mm wide and 1 894 mm tall, on a 2 900 mm wheelbase. Its design brings an upright stance, a long bonnet and a rear-mounted spare wheel, with 21-inch alloy wheels slated for local models.
Inside, a 15.4-inch central touchscreen pairs with an 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster. South African models will have a 15-speaker audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 50 W wireless phone charging and voice control as standard. A dual glass roof, leather upholstery, ventilated and electrically adjustable front seats and driver position memory are also listed.
Driver assistance covers adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic braking, a 540-degree panoramic camera and automated parking assistance.
Price and launch in South Africa
Local pricing, final specification details and official launch dates will be confirmed closer to the release of the V27 in South Africa.
