Exterior
The first SL03 I saw in the metal was on a showroom floor in Chongqing, and my honest first thought was that it reads as a low, wide sport sedan rather than an electric one. There’s a difference. It matters more than people admit, because nobody wants to be seen driving a compliance car. Fastback roofline, proper presence on the road. The numbers behind that: 4,820 mm long, 1,890 mm wide, sitting on a 2,900 mm wheelbase. Mid-size on paper — but the proportions are lean enough that it photographs well from just about any angle you try, which quietly saves your marketing budget. Customers go straight for the frameless doors and the hidden handles. Then they spot the floating rear spoiler, the full-width taillight, and that “star-energy” DRL signature you can identify at night from a long way back. The panoramic low-E roof is more than decoration in hot markets. It genuinely keeps heat out. And the liftback tailgate opens onto 473 litres, a boot you can load properly rather than post things into. Look, where charging infrastructure is patchy, the shape does most of the selling before a salesperson says a word.
Interior
The 14.6-inch “sunflower” screen dominates, and yes, it rotates — toward the driver, or toward the passenger, whichever the moment calls for. It runs Snapdragon 8155 hardware with Deepal OS layered on top, quick enough that a showroom demo never stalls halfway through, and that’s not something you can say about every Chinese infotainment system. Ahead of the wheel sits a 10.25-inch cluster, with an AR-HUD on upper trims. Trim material is perforated synthetic leather, suede inserts optional. The floor’s flat, the rear seats split 4/6, and four adults travel in comfort — five is possible, briefly. Sportier trims bring heated and ventilated front seats, 64-colour ambient lighting, a 14-speaker system. Honestly? It feels like it costs more than it does. And for a brand nobody in your market has heard of yet, that perceived premium does an enormous amount of quiet work long before anyone mentions price.
Powertrain and Chassis
Here’s where importers get themselves into trouble, so read this twice. Two energy types, and they are not the same thing. The BEV is pure electric: a rear motor up to 190 kW, your choice of LFP or NMC packs, CLTC range somewhere between roughly 530 and 705 km depending which battery you spec. Then there’s the REEV. That one’s a range extender — a 1.5L gasoline engine whose sole job is charging the battery, with a rear motor doing the actual driving. Up to 220 km on electricity, and over 1,200 km in total once you factor in the 45 L tank. Both sit on the EPA1 platform, both are rear-wheel drive, MacPherson at the front and multi-link behind, tuned firm without being punishing. Now the part that trips everyone up. The REEV is not a PHEV. The engine is a generator, full stop. Get that classification right in your paperwork on day one and you’ll avoid a certification mess that is genuinely painful to unwind afterwards.
FAQ
Q: Is the Deepal SL03 a BEV or a range-extender? A: Both are on offer. The BEV is pure electric. The REEV uses a 1.5L gasoline range-extender that charges the battery and never drives the wheels — a different animal, and regulators treat it that way.
Q: What is the real-world range? A: REEV cars give 140–220 km of electric range and 1,140–1,200 km in total. The BEV stretches to 705 km CLTC if you take the larger pack. Real-world figures land lower, as they always do.
Q: Does it support fast charging? A: Yes, it does. The BEV takes 3C DC fast charging — 30–80% in about 15 minutes — and the REEV accepts DC charging as well.
Q: Can I import the Deepal SL03 to my country? A: That depends on your homologation regime and whether you need left- or right-hand drive. Also on which powertrain your market actually wants, since BEV and REEV don’t always sit in the same regulatory box. Tell us the country and we’ll sort out the documentation and compliance side.
Q: How do you supply the SL03 and how do we start? A: Container or RoRo shipment, with commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin included. Send us your target market and an estimated annual volume, and we’ll start the process.
