Bold Exterior, Premium Interior
The G318’s exterior adopts DEEPAL’s “Meteorolite Cutting” design concept, inspired by sharp metallic forms found in nature. With aerodynamic contours, a confident stance, and an elevated body, it balances modern styling with powerful capability.
Inside, the cabin embraces a clean, tech-forward look anchored by a large central control screen, ergonomic touches, soft-touch materials, customizable ambient lighting, and advanced sound insulation to enhance comfort and create a serene driving atmosphere.
Power, Performance & All-Terrain Mastery
At the heart of the G318 is DEEPAL’s Super-Hybrid powertrain, combining dual-motor 4WD performance with a range-extended electric system to deliver an EV-like feel. Capable of accelerating from 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, it offers quick responsiveness and remarkable efficiency—converting up to 3.63 kWh of energy per litre of fuel, positioning it among the highest globally in fuel-to-electricity conversion.
The Magic-Carpet Suspension system elevates driving comfort with CDC adaptive damping, air suspension, and real-time terrain scanning, ensuring stability and smoothness on various road types. The ET Intelligent All-Terrain System further enhances capability by auto-adjusting the engine, suspension, and differentials to match changing terrain, simplifying off-road driving for users at all skill levels.
Advanced Safety & Smart Comfort
The G318 emphasizes safety with eight airbags, next-generation driver-assist systems, and a 540° panoramic camera providing superior visibility. Key intelligent features include Integrated Adaptive Cruise Control (IACC), Blind Spot Detection, Rear Side Warning, and Lane Change Assist, supporting both proactive and reactive safety.
The Smart Cockpit merges innovation with convenience through online navigation, smartphone remote control, and bilingual voice interaction (English and Arabic). Passengers also enjoy a premium atmosphere featuring the DEEPAL audio system and full vehicle sound-insulating glass, enhancing comfort and refinement.
Commitment to Sustainability
Aligned with Changan’s vision for greener mobility, the G318 is equipped with the Golden Shield Battery—a highly reliable power source with zero spontaneous combustion incidents across more than 400,000 units in use, backed by a lifetime warranty. Its finely tuned hybrid system reduces fuel consumption while extending driving range, offering a sustainable solution for drivers who still expect strong performance.
Bringing together futuristic styling, class-leading off-road capability, and advanced technology, the DEEPAL G318 sets a new benchmark for premium hybrid SUVs in the Middle East and Africa. It directly addresses the shifting preferences and expectations of discerning drivers, marking an important milestone for high-performance, sustainable mobility in the region.
