Icar-V37 Debuts with Advanced Tech, Premium Price Tag
guangzhou, China – The Icar-V37 was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show, showcasing a modern interior featuring a 39.8-centimeter touchscreen powered by a “Snapdragon” chip, enabling navigation, entertainment, online upgrades, and voice control. The vehicle offers nine driving modes and boasts electrically adjustable seats with heating and cooling.
Powering the Icar-V37 is a 1.5-liter range extender engine delivering up to 340 kW, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in approximately five seconds. It offers a purely electric range exceeding 215 km, extending to 730 km with combined use. Advanced driver-assistance systems, developed in collaboration with Horizon, utilize a roof-mounted laser scanning sensor for city, highway, and parking assistance, including automated parking space transfer.
Industry analysts anticipate a significant price premium for the Icar-V37, with estimates suggesting a cost of at least twenty million Yuan. While initial speculation placed the retail price between 160,000 and 358,000 Yuan, comparisons to the Tai 7 (starting at nearly 180,000 Yuan) and the V24 (over 200,000 Yuan) suggest a starting price around €356.97 is crucial for market competitiveness, given the increasing features and prices across the automotive sector.
