iCar V23: Off-Road Sensation in a Retro-Modern Electric SUV

In the midst of the electric vehicle trend, increasingly filled with futuristic designs and fully digital features, iCar takes a different path with the iCar V23. This retro-modern electric SUV offers not only electrification technology but also a strong character for affluent male consumers with active lifestyles, who enjoy exploring and want genuine off-road capability without gimmicks. The V23 is designed for those who view a car not merely as a means of transport, but as part of their lifestyle and personal statement. Its design combines the classic boxy SUV vibe with a simple, bold, and functional modern touch. This approach makes the V23 stand out from many urban EVs that tend to be overly futuristic. As such, iCar offers two drivetrain options: RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) and iWD, or Intelligent Wheel Drive, which powers all four wheels to handle various road conditions. The RWD variant is aimed at urban users who still want the electric SUV character that is fun to drive. The substantial power from the electric motor, combined with EV’s characteristic weight distribution, keeps acceleration responsive and stable. This character also reinforces the positioning of the iCar V23 as a fully exploration-ready electric SUV, not just a style statement. In terms of performance, the iCar V23 doesn’t mess around. The 2WD variant delivers up to 100 kW of power with a 60 kWh battery, while the iWD version outputs up to 155 kW with an 82 kWh battery, offering a range of up to 430 kilometres according to the NEDC standard. Not only power, the iCar V23 also offers a quieter and more practical driving experience typical of electric vehicles. Instant torque makes the car feel responsive as soon as the accelerator is pressed, while the quiet cabin provides greater comfort on long journeys and everyday use. With its combination of iconic design, off-road capability, powerful performance, and electrification technology, the iCar V23 aims to fill a market niche that has not been widely touched in Indonesia. This electric SUV is not for everyone; rather, it is for those who want to stand out, have a passion for exploration, and desire an electrified vehicle with a strong character.
