iCAUR introduces segment-only dual panoramic sunroof with 99.9% UV protection for extreme climates

As temperatures rise across the Middle East, vehicle cabins are no longer judged solely by design or power, but by how well they respond to real-world environments. In the Sultanate of Oman, where summer heat and long-distance driving are part of daily life, cabin comfort, thermal protection and intelligent interaction have become decisive factors for consumers. Against this backdrop, iCAUR introduces the V27 — a mid-to-large all-round hybrid SUV that redefines what a rugged vehicle can offer inside.

At the center of the V27’s cabin philosophy is its segment-only dual panoramic sunroof, known as the “Stellar Porthole.” Designed specifically for high-temperature regions, the laminated glass structure blocks 99.9% of ultraviolet rays, significantly reducing heat buildup while allowing natural light to flood the cabin. For drivers navigating Oman’s desert highways or coastal mountain roads, the system enables uninterrupted views of the landscape without the discomfort typically associated with panoramic roofs in hot climates. It is a solution that balances aesthetics, thermal performance and daily usability — a rare combination in the rugged SUV segment.

Step inside the V27, and the contrast becomes immediately apparent. While the exterior retains a bold, boxy silhouette inspired by classic off-road vehicles, the interior adopts a distinctly futuristic and structured approach. The cabin is anchored by a 15.4-inch 3K ultra-high-definition central display, positioned within the driver’s natural line of sight and powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 platform. System responsiveness is fast and fluid, supporting multi-tasking and full voice control for navigation, media and climate functions.

Notably, the V27’s interface design goes beyond conventional automotive UI. The screen animations and interaction logic were developed in collaboration with a globally recognized AAA game studio, bringing cinematic transitions and immersive visual feedback more commonly found in high-end gaming environments. For tech-savvy Omani consumers accustomed to premium smartphones and digital ecosystems, this delivers a level of visual sophistication rarely seen in the segment.

Intelligent features extend across everyday use scenarios. The V27 integrates driver monitoring, keyless start and an electronic gear selector, simplifying operation in urban traffic and on long-distance journeys alike. Seven one-touch scene modes — including Rest, Camping, Sentry and Pet — allow the vehicle to adapt seamlessly to different lifestyles, reinforcing the idea of the cabin as a flexible living space rather than a purely functional cockpit.

Space remains a defining advantage. Built on a new energy platform, the V27 converts its rugged proportions into tangible interior benefits. The second row offers up to 950 mm of legroom, while the vehicle’s class-leading cabin height allows even a 1.3-meter-tall child to stand upright inside, a feature particularly valued by family-oriented buyers. With a 69.9% space utilization rate, large window surfaces and up to 50 storage compartments, the cabin remains bright, open and highly practical.

For larger families — common across Oman — flexibility is the key. Folding the second row expands cargo capacity to 1,818 liters, transforming the vehicle into a mobile space suitable for weekend trips, camping or extended travel across regions.

With the V27, iCAUR challenges the long-held perception that rugged SUVs must sacrifice comfort and technology. By combining advanced thermal protection, immersive digital experiences and family-focused space solutions, the V27 positions itself as a compelling answer to the evolving expectations of Middle Eastern consumers — especially in environments where climate, distance and lifestyle demand more from every journey.
