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.
