Appearance: Full of retro feeling, homage to classic off-road vehicles
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a retro style design, with round headlights and a square body shape that can see some classic off-road vehicles, such as the old 212, the old Toyota Land Cruiser, etc., In addition, the new car incorporates modern elements such as LED light strips and millimeter-wave radar in the details, achieving a fusion of retro and technological sense.
From the side, this car also inherits the essence of classic off-road vehicles - short and concise. For off-road vehicles, a shorter body means that the approach, departure and passing angles are easier to make larger, resulting in better passability. The length, width and height of iCAR V23 are 4220/1915/1845mm, wheelbase 2735mm, approach angle 43 °, departure angle 41 °, minimum ground clearance 210mm (four-wheel drive version), from the parameter point of view, the passage is really good, usually up and down the road or a self-driving run a simple non-paved road should not be a problem, but the positioning of this car is still a light off-road model, or it is not recommended that you really drive it off-road.
The rear of the new car is equipped with a "small school bag", which is designed to the right, and the left side leaves room for the license plate holder. This small schoolbag can not be opened from the outside, but through the inside, it should be filled with triangles, jacks and other emergency tools, and there is a relatively shallow net pocket next to it, which can put some small items. The tailgate of the new car will be side-opening, which is a design for classic off-road models to solve the problem that the external spare tire is too heavy and the tailgate is difficult to lift upwards, while for the iCAR V23, it is to facilitate access to the contents of the "small school bag".
Interior: Despite the retro exterior, the interior is very modern
In terms of interior, the new car uses a large number of flat straight lines, and the steering wheel also adopts a two-tone design, and the overall style is relatively young and fashionable. The new car is equipped with a 15.4-inch central control screen, equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, which supports CarPlay, connected car and voice control. The round knobs and exposed rivets under the screen add a bit of a retro feel to the interior. The new car does not come standard with a dashboard, but a small round instrument cluster can be optionally installed, which can display some simple information such as speed, gear, and battery level. The armrest box has a reserved threading port, built-in 60W fast charging, and four bottles of water can be placed in the lower part of the armrest box.
Although the new car is a 5-door 5-seater SUV, it can be seen from the shape of the rear seats that the rear row is still more suitable for only two people. There are also a lot of interesting little features in the car, such as the riveted metal nameplate "Born to Play" near the air conditioning vents, and the off-road pattern next to the steering wheel, which show the car's personality everywhere. In addition, the car has 24 modification interfaces, such as quick-release wheel arches, replaceable off-road style bumpers, and Lego high-mounted brake lights, which further add to the fun. The trunk is 744L after expansion, and the trunk sinking space is 90L. There is also a hidden storage compartment under the front seats that can hold up to six bottles of water.

As a retro-style pure electric SUV, the iCAR V23 is difficult to find a competitor model in China market with its positioning. If you don't want to be retro, but look at the electric city SUV in the same price range, the main competitors of this car are the BYD Yuan PLUS and Geely Galaxy E5. The duo have a slight advantage in terms of length and wheelbase, but the iCAR V23 is slightly superior in height and width. The advantages of the iCAR V23 are mainly reflected in the drive form, the high-end model is equipped with a dual-motor four-wheel drive system, which is more adaptable to non-paved roads and ice and snow roads, while the other two are front-wheel drive, focusing on urban driving.

The iCAR V23 is a model created for these consumers, and its retro appearance makes it stand out from the crowd of new energy SUVs, and it is a cost-effective new choice for consumers who pursue personalization.
