Suspected Spy Shots of iCAR V25: No More Cramped Space, Stronger Off-Road Capability, and Range Anxiety-Free EREV Powertrain

Recently, we have obtained spy shots of iCAR's all-new SUV under testing. This model adopts an exterior design similar to that of the Super V23, but with a significantly larger size. There are rumors in the market that this model will be named V25, though this has not been confirmed by the official side. Unlike the Super V23, which is a pure electric vehicle, the V25 will be an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV).

In terms of appearance, the front face and rear design of the V25 are highly similar to those of the Super V23, both featuring a retro-style design that pays tribute to classic cars. However, the V25 has a notably larger overall size and a presumably higher body height, giving it a somewhat body-on-frame SUV vibe. When compared to a sedan parked beside it, the V25 stands much taller with a higher ground clearance—though it is not equipped with off-road tires. Meanwhile, the new model has a longer wheelbase; market rumors suggest the wheelbase will be 2,780 mm, which is longer than the Super V23's 2,735 mm.

It is worth noting that there is a fuel filler cap on the left rear side of the vehicle, and a temporary exhaust pipe is also visible at the rear. Additionally, the sticker on the window is marked with "EREV" (indicating the extended-range powertrain). The interior is generally similar to that of the Super V23, but it is clearly not in a mass-produced state and is for reference only.

For the powertrain, referring to the power system of the iCAR V27, the V25 is expected to be equipped with an extended-range system composed of a 1.5T engine and an electric motor. The maximum power of the engine will be 105 kW, and the model will be available in both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) versions. Among them, the 4WD version is expected to have a maximum power of 335 kW, with a CLTC pure electric range of 200 km and a comprehensive range (electric + fuel) expected to exceed 1,000 km.
