Changan Automobile's Deepal G318 The Future of Electric SUVs

TapTechNews May 23rd news, Changan Automobile's Deepal brand's first medium-large SUV G318 model was released in March and is expected to go on the market in the near future. Today, Deng Chenghao, the CEO of Deepal, posted that in the wave of electrification and intelligentization, the times have changed and the era of fuel hard-core is over.

Deng Chenghao said:

At this year's Beijing Auto Show, we saw more and more electric hard-core models. Everyone has found that electric drive and hard-core are simply the best complementary relationship. Traditional hard-core as a city commuting tool is very challenging and has more of a playing attribute. But for electric hard-core, the lower energy consumption, less noise, stronger power, and higher intelligentization level brought by electrification, and the better outdoor functions brought by inductive travel. These not only make up for the shortcomings of hard-core but also enlarge the advantages of hard-core.
