The Deepal is a NEV brand under Changan. NEV is a Chinese term for New Energy Vehicles and includes pure EVs, PHEVs, and FCEV (hydrogen). Deepal SL03 is built on Changan’s EPA1 platform and is the only car in China that offers all three drivetrain variants – BEV, EREV, and FCEV.

The cheapest variant of SL03 is the range extender (EREV), the setup where Li Auto is the king. It has a pure battery range of 200km thanks to a 28.39 kWh battery. This is not bad for EREV. The electric motor has 160 kW of power, and ICE is 1.5L with 70 kW. The combined range is 1200 km.

The battery comes from CATL and is ternary NMC with 58.1 kWh capacity, suitable for a 515 CLTC range. The energy density of the pack is 171 Wh/kg.
Exterior and interior
The car is a five doors five-seater and measures 4820/1890/1480mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm. The interior is very minimalistic, with a lack of physical buttons. It features a 10.2″ instrument panel and a 14.6″ infotainment screen. The main screen of the SL03 can turn 15 degrees left or right. Other interior features of this vehicle include the 1.9-square-meter sunroof, 14 Sony speakers, an AR-HUD, etc.
Deepal brand
Deepal is not the first cooperation between Changan, Huawei, and CATL. Two months before SL03 was launched, the Avatr 11 SUV was launched in May, and Avatr was the first project of the Chinese trio. Avatr and Deepal result from the 2020 collaboration that started in 2020 when Huawei, Changan, and CATL jointly announced they team up to build high-end automotive brands.
