Earlier this year there was the iCAUR 03 which combined purposeful design with everyday emission free practicality and it got the attention of Malaysian EV buyers. Now comes another rugged emission free rugged vehicle from iCAUR.

iCAUR Malaysia today officially launched the iCAUR V23 in 2WD and 4WD and there are 1,000 plus units already in Malaysia ready to be delivered to early bird customers before December 31st 2025 to get this amazing selling price and FREE RM3,400 7kW AC home charger, RM1,000 6.86-inch Instrument Cluster and more importantly a RM3,000 Battery Warranty Extension up to 10 years/200,000 km.

So, think about it, this is a RM7,400 added incentive to the already great selling price from RM119,800 to RM132,800!

During the November preview, the suggested prices were a little higher.

The iCAUR V23 pays homage to classic 4×4 icons with an expressive exterior reimagined for the electric age.  Measuring 4,220 mm in length, 1,915 mm in width, and 1,845 mm in height, and paired with a long 2,735 mm wheelbase, the V23 strikes a balance between a confident, planted stance on the outside and a practical, comfortable interior for occupants on the inside.

For the Malaysian market, the 2WD variant is powered by a single rear-mounted electric motor that produces 100 kW (136 PS) and 180 Nm of torque.

Paired with a 59.9-kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, it delivers up to 360 km of driving range (NEDC), making it well suited for daily commuting and urban journeys.

With smooth power delivery and inherently balanced rear-wheel-drive dynamics, the 2WD offers a driving experience that feels both efficient and enjoyable.

For those seeking added capability and power, the iCAUR V23 iWD introduces a dual-motor, intelligent all-wheel-drive system. This variant generates a combined output of 155 kW (211 PS) and 292 Nm of torque, providing confident acceleration and assured traction whether navigating a rutted trail or cruising comfortably on the highway.

Equipped with a larger 81.8-kWh Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) ternary lithium battery, the iWD offers an extended driving range of up to 430 km (NEDC).

Reassurance comes from a comprehensive safety suite that includes six airbags and an ADAS Level 2 advanced driver assistance system. The suite is supported by a millimetre-wave radar integrated into the vehicle body to improve detection accuracy across a variety of environments.

The iCAUR V23 is offered as standard with the following ADAS features:

• Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)   
• Drive Away Info (DAI)

Inside, the cabin centres around a 15.4-inch QuadHD touchscreen powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor, ensuring smooth operation and intuitive control. Seamless smartphone integration comes standard with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, complemented by a premium 7-speaker audio system that delivers clear, immersive sound for passengers.

Complementing its retro-inspired exterior, the iCAUR V23 features four sturdy centre-console buttons for convenient control of in-car functions, inclusive of the drive mode selector, which toggles between five drive modes in the V23 2WD variant (ECO, Comfort, Sport, Individual, Slippery), and six, with the addition of the Off-Road mode in iWD variant.

The V23 arrives in Malaysia with a vibrant colour palette designed to match its expressive personality. Customers may choose from Off Road Orange, Khaki White, Army Green, Slate Silver, Gravel Grey and Carbon Black, all paired with a refined black leather interior.
