Changan Automobile’s Deep Blue SL03 to Start Sales in July
Deep Blue, a new energy vehicle brand of Changan Automobile, is soon coming out with a new car called the SL03, which will start sales in July and delivery in August. The model is based on Changan’s brand-new EPA1 pure electric platform, with a pre-sale range of 179,800 yuan to 231,800 yuan ($26,682 – $34,399).

The new model provides a 14.6-inch full LCD touch screen, augmented-reality HUD, and a 1.9 square meter panoramic awning which can block 99% ultraviolet rays.
In terms of power, Deep Blue SL03 is equipped with new-generation drive with a maximum power of 190kW and a peak torque of 320 N · m. The acceleration from 0 to 100km/h takes only 5.9 seconds.
The SL03 provide three power modes: pure electric, extended range and hydrogen-powered. The extended range version and hydrogen-powered version enjoy comprehensive cruising range under CLTC conditions of 1,200km and 700km respectively.
