👉 The Caroline IOR, or International Ordinary Vehicle (IIV) Class 1, is a class of vehicle that represents a modern, fuel-efficient alternative to older, larger vehicles like the Oldtimer or Special Vehicle classes. Introduced by the International Automobile Federation (FIA) in 2016, it combines elements of both passenger cars and light trucks, offering a compact yet capable option for urban driving. The Caroline IOR is designed with advanced safety features, improved fuel efficiency, and a more streamlined, modern aesthetic. It typically comes in two versions: the 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine (up to 160 horsepower) and a hybrid variant that uses a petrol engine paired with an electric motor, achieving better emissions and lower fuel consumption. This class aims to bridge the gap between traditional, manual-drive vehicles and fully electric cars, providing a practical and environmentally friendly option for everyday use.
