eCar has unveiled its new V27 SUV, which relies on a Range Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) powertrain, combining electric motors with a fuel-powered generator to provide additional energy and increase driving range.
Hybrid powertrain with 449 horsepower
The high-end Royal trim comes with two electric motors generating a total power of 449 horsepower and a torque of 505 Nm, featuring an all-wheel-drive system and a single-speed automatic transmission. The system utilizes a 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine that acts solely as a range extender, generating electricity to charge the battery and support the motors without directly driving the wheels.
Driving range reaches up to 995 kilometers
The battery capacity is 34.31 kWh, allowing for a distance of 150 kilometers on electric power alone, while the total range increases to approximately 995 kilometers when utilizing the range extension system.
Strong acceleration performance and spacious dimensions
The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 180 km/h. The car's length is 5,045 mm, its width is 1,976 mm, and its height is 1,894 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,900 mm, ground clearance of 224 mm, a weight of 2,333 kg, and a trunk capacity of 715 liters.
Luxury interior equipment and modern technologies
The cabin features leather seats with 6-way electric adjustment, memory, and cooling for the driver's seat, a 15.4-inch infotainment screen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster, a 15-speaker sound system, a multi-function steering wheel, a wireless charger, ambient lighting, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
