In addition to the surprising price, Changan Deep Blue also took into account every aspect of the user’s car purchase and use, bringing multiple listing gifts.
At the same time, it will also provide a complete butler service system, bringing three major values of brand direct connection, full-link transparency, and convenient service with a new marketing service model, allowing users to easily purchase cars, use cars without worry, and enjoy exclusive service experiences that exceed expectations.
Digital travel experience makes driving more comfortable
Changan Deep Blue SL03 was born on the EPA1 all-electric digital platform. In addition to all-electric attributes, it will also bring users a convenient digital travel experience through super intelligence.
At the level of intelligent driving, it is equipped with more than ten intelligent driving assistance systems, including six ultrasonic radars, three millimeter-wave radars, and six high-performance cameras, which not only provide clearer imaging and higher positioning accuracy, but also further enhance the safety of the entire vehicle.
In terms of configuration, the three models in the form of power are equipped with integrated adaptive IACC, and the whole system is equipped with intelligent driving auxiliary features such as lane change assistance, intelligent panoramic imaging, and AEB automatic emergency braking, which help users reduce the driving burden and free their feet within the allowable range of road conditions. At the same time, it can also assist users to always pay attention to the road conditions, prevent them from happening, and make driving easier.
At the same time, Changan Deep Blue SL03 will also launch the APA7.0 remote valet parking system. After subscribing to this service, the vehicle will be upgraded to 34 sensing and sensing hardware. Under the premise of meeting relevant national regulations, memory parking, remote moving, remote control parking and other functions can be realized in the main use scenarios of users, just like an experienced "shadow driver", fully meeting the parking needs of users in different scenarios.
It is reported that models that support the subscription of NID3.0 Pilot intelligent driving assistance service and APA7.0 remote valet parking service will be available for booking from the date of listing, and delivery and open service subscriptions are expected to start one after another after December 31.
Multi-sensory full-scene cockpit, making driving more enjoyable
In addition to the intelligent driver assistance system, the Changan Deep Blue SL03 also creates a multi-sensory, full-scene smart cockpit for users. It is the first mass-produced model in the world to carry an 8-core high-computing power super car machine chip 1.2.1 baseline and Android 11 operating system. The chip adopts the industry’s most sophisticated 7nm process technology, with more computing units and stronger processor performance, and the computing speed can reach 3.60 million times per second. At the same time, the car’s RAM memory has reached 12G, ROM memory has reached 128G, and the comprehensive performance is comparable to many high-end mobile phones.
Based on the powerful underlying capabilities, the smart cockpit of Changan Deep Blue SL03 has unlimited functions and scene expansion capabilities, supports Bluetooth/NFC non-inductive cabin, 3D holographic face login and other functions, and will also provide 10 full cockpit scenarios including privacy mode, thermostatic cockpit, and nap mode. The intelligent interactive system can automatically recommend relevant scenarios according to the current vehicle status, start with one click, and respond to the whole warehouse. Whether it is daily commuting, friends gathering or family outing, users can easily find the right choice.
The Changan Deep Blue SL03 is also equipped with an AR-HUD, with an imaging interface equivalent to a 61-inch screen with an imaging distance of 8.5 meters in front. Through deep integration with intelligent driving and in-vehicle systems, the main driver’s field of vision is transformed into a smart information screen that integrates technology, safety, and entertainment. Users can understand basic information about road conditions without deflection during driving, making it more convenient and safe.
In addition, the 14.6-inch sunflower screen is also an industry first, allowing it to automatically deflect left and right by 15 degrees with the driver, and the screen display function can be seen. The exclusive voice system supports super continuous dialogue and fuzzy semantic recognition, navigation, listening to music, temperature adjustment, and other vehicle controls. It can move without hands-on operation, providing users with intelligent travel services with temperature.
Breakthrough in battery life, making travel more free
On the basis of digital and intelligent travel experience, Changan Deep Blue SL03 has also achieved a breakthrough in battery life. Under CLTC conditions, the pure electric version provides two versions of 515km and 705km, and the 705km version is firmly in the first echelon of domestic battery life level. The maximum power of the 515 battery life version can reach more than 190kW, and the power consumption can be as low as 12.3kWh/100km, which is almost the same as the minimum power consumption level of Tesla Model 300 kilometers, which can bring users stronger car economy.
Under CLTC conditions, the Changan Deep Blue SL03 Extended Range Edition has a comprehensive battery life of over 1200km and a pure electric battery life of over 200km, with feed fuel consumption as low as 4.5L/100km, short-distance power consumption, long-distance range extension, no mileage anxiety, and more freedom of travel.
The low energy consumption and long battery life electric travel experience is not only for the current travel scenario of users, but also for the future travel layout under the dual-carbon strategy. The hydrogen electric version of the model can have a cruising range of 730km at full hydrogen, and the hydrogen consumption of the feed can be as low as 0.65kg/100km. It can also achieve 3-minute ultra-fast energy replenishment, empowering green travel with future technologies.
Three electric technology breakthroughs, technology-driven products
At the technical level of Sandian, Changan Deep Blue has also achieved a breakthrough. "Five years of sharpening a sword" has created the world’s first full-track pure electric drive special platform – the EPA1 platform, which has achieved the all-electric digital coupe Changan Deep Blue SL03 with high efficiency, high performance, high intelligence and high safety.
The Changan Deep Blue SL03 is equipped with Changan’s new generation of superset electric drive. Through the deep integration of All in One, the effective utilization rate of vehicle space and weight has been improved, and the design concept of taking into account all-electric and rear drive has been realized, meeting the travel needs of users in different scenarios. It has also achieved more than 95% of the highest system efficiency, leading the industry average.
On the basis of the ultra-concentrated electric drive, the Changan Deep Blue SL03 is also blessed with the world’s first micronucleus high-frequency pulse heating technology, which allows users to start at home with one click through the mobile APP to achieve extremely fast heating at ultra-low temperatures. There is no need to wait for winter travel, and there is no need to worry about problems such as weak start, slow power response, and difficult acceleration, which greatly alleviates the electric vehicle experience in extremely cold weather.
In terms of battery safety, Changan Deep Blue aims to protect personal safety. Based on the EPA1 platform, it has developed the iBC digital battery butler system, which realizes the concept of battery butler through 2 types of digital pre-control management technology groups and 7 types of digital temperature control management technology groups. It redefines travel safety with a full range of active and passive safety services.
In addition, Changan Deep Blue is also equipped with the first domestic intelligent vehicle domain controller "Changan Smart Core", which integrates more than 1,500 core devices, and the synchronous communication rate reaches the leading level in the industry. It can achieve the rapid upgrade of vehicle control software OTA in 3 minutes, and also provide users with more accurate remote diagnosis, more efficient energy management strategies, and more accurate mileage calculation services. In the era of software-defined cars, we can enjoy high-quality and high-performance car experience.
