iCaur V23 vs Mitsubishi Xforce
Verdict
The iCaur V23 costs RM119,800, so it is RM9,820 dearer than the RM109,980 Mitsubishi Xforce, but the spend changes the brief: 134 hp electric rear-drive, a 59.9 kWh battery and 360 km of range versus a 104 hp 1.5-litre petrol CVT. The Mitsubishi is the more conventional family pick, with five seats and a 410-litre boot. The iCaur counters with six airbags, AEB, a seven-year warranty and RM70 road tax, but its four-seat cabin and 234-litre boot are real compromises.
Pick the iCaur V23 if you want an electric B-SUV with 360 km range, 134 hp and stronger safety kit on paper.
Pick the Mitsubishi Xforce if you need five seats, a 410-litre boot and the lower RM109,980 entry price.
