The V23 can be described as a modern reinterpretation of classic overlanding vehicles with its vintage-inspired exterior and sleek, aerodynamic physique.
Exterior
The iCAR V23 displays a unique blend of retro and cutting-edge design elements, which pays homage to the classic car designs from Toyota Land Cruiser 212 and other retro off-road vehicles. The overall aesthetic of the car is one of nostalgia for bygone eras, blended seamlessly with modern touches such as LED lights and advanced safety features.
When viewed from the side, the V23 maintains the essence of these rugged off-road cars - the shorter dimensions allow for smoother angles and tighter turns which enhance performance in off-road routes. With its streamlined silhouette and wheelbase stretched out to 2.735m, while height stands at 1.85m with a minimum departure threshold of 210mm.
Back to back, a compact luggage compartment is integrated seamlessly into the backside of the vehicle. The small trunk houses several accessories, including emergency equipment from the dashboard.
Interior
While maintaining vintage cues for aesthetic pleasure, the interior stays significantly modernized. It uses plenty of horizontal lines in order to emphasize this "modular" feel. Upon entering the car, you discover a variety of intriguing small touches showcasing an individualistic flair - like a metal badge stating this 'is born for play'.
As many areas feature multiple mounting interfaces that allow the user flexibility and make their personal touch stand out.
On the front seats are some interesting touches as well such as heating controls situated alongside a vintage-inspired track pattern on the steering wheel.
For comfort, the rear end of the back seat houses one hidden compartment which fits perfectly for carrying six bottles.
