The Deepal SL03 is a mid-size sedan produced by Deepal, the electric vehicle subsidiary of Chinese automotive company Changan Automobile since 2022.

A sister model known as the Deepal L07 equipped with Huawei technologies is sold alongside the SL03 since 2024.

Overview

The Deepal SL03 liftback sedan is offered in three options, a battery electric vehicle, a series hybrid, and an electric vehicle with a hydrogen electrochemical generator.

The battery electric version has a single electric motor that makes 218 hp and has a range of up to 700 km with a 56.12kWh LFP battery made by CATL, while the extended range EREV variant has a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre JL473QJ petrol generator and an electric motor that produce 258 hp with a range of up to 1,200 km supported by a ternary (NMC) battery made by Changan New Energy.[1][2] Changan claims that the SL03 has a sharp exterior design that allows for a drag coefficient of 0.230.[1]

Deepal L07

In September 2024, Deepal introduced a lightly modified version of the SL03 called the L07 which features Huawei's technology suite. Deepal positions as a tech focused sister model to be sold alongside the sportier SL03, rather than a facelift or replacement.[4][5][6] It is the second Deepal model after the S07 which is equipped with Huawei's vision-based Qiankun ADS SE autonomous driving system.[7][8]

Compared to the SL03, the exterior features minimal changes and the powertrains are similar with EV and EREV options. In the interior, the digital instrument display is replaced by a 55-inch AR-HUD, and features a 15°-tilting 2.5K-resolution 15.6-inch central infotainment touchscreen running Deepal OS software on a Snapdragon 8155 SoC.[6] It uses the LiDAR-less Huawei Qiankun ADS SE system, which has a sensor suite with 3 mmWave radars, 10 cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors while supporting features such as automatic emergency braking, lane change assist, and obstacle avoidance.[4]

The L07 is available in both a pure electric or range-extender powertrains, both rear-wheel drive. The pure electric version uses a 185 kW XTDM33 motor and a CATL-supplied 56.1 kWh LFP battery pack providing 530 km of CLTC range. The range extender version uses a 190 kW XTDM16 motor paired with either 28.4 or 35.1kWh LFP CATL-supplied batteries providing 230 km and 300 km of electric range, respectively. They are also equipped with a 1.5-liter port-injected four-cylinder petrol engine outputting 72 kW, extending range up to 1400 km. All battery options support 3C charge rates, for a 30–80% charge time of 15 minutes.[4]

2026 update

On 13 August 2025, Deepal launched the 2026 model year update for the L07. The infotainment system has been upgraded to use the Snapdragon 8295 SoC, while continuing to use Deepal's own DeepalOS 4.0 software, and the steering wheel controls have been tweaked. The ADAS system has been updated to Huawei Qiankun ADS 4.0 SE and is now standard on all models. Both the pure electric and range extender models now use a new 200 kW XTDM67 motor. Range of the existing 28.4 and 56.1 kWh packs have increased to 240 km and 550 km, respectively, while the larger 35.1 kWh EREV pack has been dropped. Additionally, a new larger 68.82 kWh LFP pack option has been added with 660 km of CLTC range.[10][11]
