A month ago, the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 was officially launched, with a total of 3 versions introduced, and a limited-time renewal price for new car owners: 15.29-19.69 million; this officially upgraded the Deepal G318 from a single model to a series. In fact, when the official images of the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 were exposed, its armored design and Sunshine Gold color scheme attracted a lot of attention. After the new car was officially launched, my expectations for it grew more and more, and I really wanted to test drive it. After waiting for a month, I finally got the test car.
The Deepal G318无忧穿越版 adopts pioneering armored aesthetic design, features dual-motor true four-wheel drive with two locks, and is equipped with air suspension + CDC + active magic carpet suspension; at the same time, it comes standard with an integrated driving and parking intelligent driving assistance system and an intelligent interaction system. So in this test drive, we also mainly experienced it from these aspects. The version tested this time is the four-wheel-drive Secret Realm Edition with a limited-time renewal price for new car owners of 196,900 yuan. 
Pioneering armored aesthetics, photogenic wherever it goes, earning plenty of head-turning attention. Post-90s and post-00s consumers have already become the main consumer group, and these young people have very high design requirements for a vehicle's exterior and interior. The Deepal G318无忧穿越版 must have insight into these user needs, adopting a pioneering armored aesthetic design with the concept of "cyber metal, pioneering armor." The front face adopts a mechanical armored design, paired with C-shaped energy headlights, an integrated through-light, front grille warning lights, as well as array-type energy high beams + camping lights; the raised bumper at the lower part gives the entire front face more muscularity and a full sense of dominance. 
On the side of the body, the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 has sharp and smooth lines, paired with hidden door handles, mechanical peak wheels, and all-aluminum alloy metal pedals. From the side, it has a posture that looks ready to spring into action. 
At the rear, the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 adopts a tough functional rear design, paired with LED high-mounted brake lights, a wraparound spoiler, and a single-swing-arm spare tire cover; the C-shaped taillights echo the front headlights, making the rear look more stylish and more recognizable. The side-opening tailgate also makes loading items easier and more effortless. 
The interior design of the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 is also full of mecha style, adopting a T-shaped center console design, paired with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel, a 14.6-inch embedded high-definition smart screen, a full-car wraparound ambient light strip, 50W wireless fast charging, 16-speaker high-quality audio, and an intelligent panoramic sunroof + electric sunshade. In addition, the Sacred Lake Green interior color scheme really deserves praise. It is stylish and luxurious, and it can give people an inexplicable good impression. 
In most people's fixed impressions, hardcore boxy SUVs, due to their unique design, do not have particularly spacious interior space, and their comfort is not that good. After actually experiencing it, the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 gives a completely different feeling. Its body dimensions are 5125mm*2025mm*1950mm in length, width, and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 2880mm, a cabin-to-length ratio of 61%, a cabin-to-height ratio of 68%, and a passenger cabin length of 3010mm; it is also equipped with "first-class cabin" level comfortable seats, and the front seats support ventilation, heating, massage, as well as lumbar support, backrest reclining, and other functions. 
It is worth mentioning that, in order to make comfort equal for everyone and make every seat first class, its second-row seats support 3-level heating, ventilation, and 8 massage modes. In terms of spatial layout, what people like most about the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 is that not only can the rear seats be folded flat, but the front backrests can also be folded flat, forming multiple spatial arrangements to meet different needs. 
Strong passability, can go anywhere, and can freely go "wild." The vast majority of people who choose a hardcore SUV like the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 are definitely not just doing it for looks, but more for driving it out to go "wild." In this test drive, we also drove the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 out to "go wild" a bit. Thanks to the Deepal G318无忧穿越版's outdoor passability with strong control over all road conditions, driving it on unpaved sections with many potholes was quite easy, without needing to deliberately choose a path or worry about scraping the chassis. 
The Deepal G318无忧穿越版 has a minimum ground clearance of 210mm-240mm, a 27° approach angle, and a 31° departure angle. In addition, the body torsional rigidity of the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 reaches 45000N•m/deg, so even when facing continuously bumpy road conditions such as gravel roads and potholes, it can maintain body stability and comfort. In addition, the slope visibility assistance function equipped on the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 is especially practical, allowing for greater composure when facing steep slopes. 
The four-wheel-drive Secret Realm Edition tested this time adopts dual-motor true four-wheel drive and is equipped with a central continuously variable differential lock + magnetic mechanical differential lock. With these two "locks," its ability to get out of trouble is naturally not a problem. At the same time, it is also equipped with 5 terrain modes + 3 special scenarios, including: mud mode, snow mode, sand mode, rugged mode, wading mode, off-road crawl, hill descent control, tank turn, and other functions; it can adapt to different complex road conditions. 
It is worth mentioning that the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 is equipped with a three-piece comfort driving set comparable to million-yuan luxury cars, consisting of air suspension + CDC + active magic carpet. Among them, the active magic carpet can identify road conditions in advance and adjust the suspension state before bumps arrive. The air suspension has an adjustable total travel of 70mm, and the CDC will actively adapt to changes in road conditions when passing through continuously undulating or severely undulating sections, making the ride as smooth as walking on flat ground. 
Regarding the passability and off-road capability of the Deepal G318无忧穿越版, in this test drive we specifically found an unpaved, bumpy dirt road and conducted a simple test. Passability was naturally not a problem. The active magic carpet can identify road conditions and adjust the suspension; with the assistance of slope visibility assistance and a 540° panoramic image, narrow roads and steep slopes can also be passed easily and safely. 
In addition, the steering system is very precise in pointing, so there is no need to fear narrow roads; moreover, the classic independent suspension combination of front double wishbone + rear five-link gives stronger body roll resistance and higher comfort. In short, even an off-road novice who has never driven on bad roads can drive the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 through them very easily. 
Integrated driving and parking intelligent driving assistance system, comfortable wherever it goes, and easy to drive. Comfort should not be limited only to the ride experience; for the driver, good driving comfort is even more necessary. The Deepal G318无忧穿越版 comes standard across the entire lineup with the DEEPAL AD PRO integrated driving and parking intelligent driving assistance system, and also comes standard across the entire lineup with 5 high-definition cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic radars. In addition to conventional ACC adaptive cruise assistance, IACC intelligent cruise assistance, LCA lane change assistance, LDW lane departure warning, and FCW forward collision warning; it also supports functions such as RADS reverse tracking assistance, RPA remote parking assistance, and NOA highway intelligent driving navigation assistance. 
During the test drive, I specifically tested the NOA highway intelligent driving navigation assistance function. For ramps, toll stations, and service areas, it can perceive traffic flow in real time and adjust speed intelligently; overall, the NOA function is still smart enough. In terms of the intelligent cockpit, the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 comes standard across the entire lineup with the DEEPAL OS intelligent interaction system; at the same time, the AI voice interaction function is deeply integrated with DeepSeek. After testing, the intelligent voice interaction function responds quickly and recognizes accurately. 
As the saying goes: "The travel expenses to poetry and distant places are very expensive, and the stars and the sea also require tickets." The fuel consumption of fuel-powered hardcore SUVs is indeed relatively high, and the cost of use will naturally soar. The Deepal G318无忧穿越版 adopts extended-range power and is equipped with a 1.5T Origin Intelligent Range Extender 2.0, where 1L of fuel can generate 3.63 kWh of electricity; its two-wheel-drive version has a CLTC pure electric range of 190km and a CLTC fuel consumption at low battery of 6.3L/100km; the four-wheel-drive version has a CLTC pure electric range of 174km and a CLTC fuel consumption at low battery of 7L/100km. 
The version tested this time has a pure electric range of 174km, and during the test drive I also paid attention to the range issue. The Deepal G318无忧穿越版 has a very solid range, and the displayed range matches the actual driving range. With a pure electric range of 174km, in daily use it is entirely possible to use only electricity, which can effectively reduce the cost of use. In addition, in terms of replenishment, the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 is equipped with 3C super fast charging technology, and an SOC of 30%-80% can be completed in only 15 minutes, achieving 100 kilometers of range with a 10-minute charge. 
Conclusion: "Can go anywhere, comfortable wherever it goes, photogenic wherever it goes" is the official selling point given to the Deepal G318无忧穿越版. Through this test drive experience, I think Deepal did not boast. The Deepal G318无忧穿越版 really does have this hardcore strength. It must be mentioned that the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 has rich expansion capabilities. The armrest areas on both sides of the front hood are equipped with built-in expansion interfaces for side expansion racks, and the engine compartment is equipped with a 130W power modification reserved port; the interior supports a 3.3kW external discharge function; the exterior supports a 6kW external discharge function; in addition, there are 12kW stationary parking power generation and 18kW vehicle-to-vehicle charging functions. These functions may not seem impressive, but their practicality is really high; for users who often travel outdoors, these functions can be considered essential. 
In the past two years, the market for hardcore boxy new energy SUVs has been quite competitive. In the price range of around 200,000, there are especially many models to choose from, such as: Jetour Shanhai T2, Fangchengbao Bao 5, Haval Raptor, BJ40 Range Extender, and Deepal G318, among others. However, the armored-style design, Sunshine Gold color scheme, and the configurations offered by the Deepal G318无忧穿越版 are something other models cannot provide. Moreover, as an extended-range model, its cost of use is also lower. It can be said that driving this electrified, intelligent boxy hardcore SUV is simply enjoyable!
