iCAUR is preparing to offer the V23 in Vietnam in two Super performance versions, the single-motor Super V23 and the all-wheel-drive Super V23S, according to a company executive. Vietnam is expected to be the first market outside China to receive these versions. The models may also be assembled at the Gel-O&J plant in Hung Yen, a Chery-Geleximco joint venture being readied for Omoda, Jaecoo and iCAUR production.
The 2WD version is rated at 185 kW, or about 252 hp. The dual-motor Super V23S produces 335 kW, equivalent to roughly 449 hp, and is said to reach 100 km/h from rest in 4.5 seconds, compared with 7.5 seconds for the earlier configuration. Both versions are reported to have improved climbing ability. The V23S has 43-degree approach and 41-degree departure angles, 210 mm of ground clearance and a stated 600 mm wading depth.
The Super models use CATL-supplied LFP batteries. The 2WD V23 has 59.93-kWh and 80.16-kWh options, with China CLTC ranges of 401 km and 550 km; the 80.16-kWh V23S is rated for 501 km. DC fast-charging capacity rises to 160 kW, with a claimed 30-to-80% charge time of about 20 minutes. The angular, five-seat SUV also features a 15.4-inch central display and an 8.88-inch instrument screen.
