On June 13, the deep blue G318 was officially launched in Lhasa, the end of the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Highway. It aims to solve the four major pain points of traditional hard-core vehicles: "too similar styling, rigid driving, small space, and high energy and fuel consumption."
The new car is available in 6 configurations, including two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, with an official guide retail price of 175,900 to 318,000 yuan. It has three major strengths: freedom of electricity use, freedom of space, and freedom of entertainment.
Although the dark blue G318 with a square box shape is positioned as a "hard-core SUV", it abandons the traditional frame design. By adopting ultra-high-strength hot forming technology and high-strength seven-ring body structure, its body torsional stiffness reaches 45,000Nm/deg.
It is equipped with front and rear dual motors, with a maximum power of 316kW and a peak torque of 6200N·m at the wheel end, and can easily achieve an acceleration from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 6.3 seconds. The full-condition four-wheel drive system exceeds the response speed of traditional fuel-powered four-wheel drives, bringing higher passability.
In addition, the Deep Blue G318 is equipped with a central continuously variable differential lock and a rear axle magnetic mechanical differential lock, which greatly improves the response sensitivity under extreme road conditions. In addition, the ET all-terrain system it is equipped with integrates up to 16 driving modes to assist outdoor adventures.
In order to achieve freedom in electricity use, the Deep Blue G318 also has a 6-kilowatt external discharge function, which can easily supply the needs of 8 tents. There is also a 3kw 220V power supply socket in the trunk, which can be plugged in and used at any time.
In terms of space freedom, the Deep Blue G318 has a length, width and height of 5010/1985/1960mm, a wheelbase of 2880mm, a length-to-room ratio of 61%, and a height-to-room ratio of 68%. The rear seats can be folded down completely, instantly turning into a 1.8-meter-long bed.
The Deep Blue G318 is not only comfortable to sit in, but also easy to drive. It adopts double wishbone and multi-link suspension configuration, and is also equipped with R-EPS steering system, which makes steering smoother and has a control experience comparable to that of a city car.
In addition, air suspension + CDC + active magic carpet can sense road obstacles in advance and intelligently adjust the height of the suspension, greatly improving the passability while still maintaining a comfortable driving experience.
The Deep Blue G318 claims to offer the value of two cars for the price of one, and is poised to create a stir in the hardcore circle.
