Cartok.my Take

Here is an EV that isn’t scared of laterite. If it can clear 600 mm of water and still offer close to its claimed mileage in mixed driving, the V23 could quietly open the gate for battery-powered trail work in Malaysia. At RM120k for the 2WD and RM133k for the dual-motor iWD, the pricing is unexpectedly sharp for a purpose-shaped electric SUV — enough to make more mainstream peers hold lower value-for-money.
