The Carnewschina resource published images of the future Deepal G318 SUV – the fruit of collaboration between Changan and Huawei. This car owes its unusual name to the national highway in China. Its most famous site, designated number 318, – road from Chengdu to Tibet. In recent years, it has become popular in China to travel by road to Tibet along this route.
The image of a real SUV is formed by developed wheel arches, «toothed» tires, spare wheel, devoid of casing and mounted on the rear door, additional light on the roof. Apparently, the car will still have a monocoque body.
Deepal G318 will be a hybrid, and not parallel, but sequential: the 1.5-liter engine will charge the traction battery (with a capacity of 18.4 or 35.1 kW·h), and the car will move will only be driven by electric motors.
Dimensions Deepal G318 – 4750 x 1959 x 1820 mm, wheelbase – 2880 mm. That is, it will not be much larger than the Tank 300. But the car will be able to turn around on the spot, like a tank. The estimated cost of the car will be 300 thousand yuan – about 42 thousand dollars.
