The iCaur brand has confirmed the debut of the V27 crossover in Russia in 2026

The iCaur brand has officially launched the V27 crossover in China, the next stage for the company will be the Russian debut of the model, which is scheduled to take place in 2026. This is stated in the message of the brand's press service, which was received by Izvestia on March 17.

iCaur representatives stated that Russia is among the priority areas: the V27 model has already passed a test cycle at subzero temperatures and received good feedback from industry experts during closed presentations in Moscow. Also this year, the brand will gradually enter the markets of Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

As part of the model's adaptation to Russian conditions, the engineers refined the suspension parameters, optimized the power plant's thermoregulation system, and conducted additional tests at low temperatures. The Golden REEV hybrid system, on the basis of which the V27 is built, has shown stable operation at temperatures up to -40°C. The 1.5 gasoline turbo engine, working in conjunction with a generator, has a thermal efficiency of 45.79% and generates 3.71 kWh of electricity per liter of fuel, powering two electric motors with a total capacity of 455 hp. This scheme allows you to maintain dynamics even in the cold, when conventional electric vehicles lose some power due to battery cooling, the company said.

Details about the launch of sales in Russia, prices and terms of service will be announced later. The company will have to form a dealer network, prepare a service infrastructure and determine the configuration taking into account local specifics. The company has previously stated that it plans the Russian debut of the V27 in the first half of 2026.
