What sparks will fly when rugged off-roading and cutting-edge technology are deeply integrated? On November 16, 2025, Deepal G318 officially pushed out DEEPAL OS version 3.1.0, adding and optimizing 15 functions, achieving a leap forward in the intelligent cockpit experience and convenience of this "new tech-driven rugged" SUV.
This DEEPAL OS 3.1.0 upgrade package is packed with features, many of which directly address users' daily driving pain points.
Remote parking assistance is one of the biggest highlights of this upgrade. When facing narrow parking spaces, owners no longer need to repeatedly operate from inside the car; they can remotely control parking and exiting via a mobile app, greatly improving convenience and technological sophistication.
The intelligent interactive experience has been revamped, with the system adding an AI chat function and supporting seamless switching between DeepSeek R1 and DeepSeek V3 models, making human-vehicle interaction more emotional and engaging. The newly added "DeepSeek News" function enables intelligent information search, allowing users to efficiently access information while in the car.
Ecosystem connectivity has been enhanced, with the highly anticipated Apple CarPlay now included (excluding the Wuyou Cross-Country version), meeting the needs of Apple users for seamless vehicle connectivity. New desktop music cards make audio source switching and control operations more intuitive and convenient.
Details have been refined, with the system optimizing the driver's seat welcome logic, automatically restoring the driver to a preferred seating position upon entering the vehicle; the Sentry Mode has also undergone algorithm optimization to reduce false alarms, making vehicle protection more accurate and reliable.
This upgrade covers multiple dimensions, from vehicle control and human-machine interaction to ecosystem expansion, marking a new stage in the Deepal G318's "soft power."
Behind the intelligent upgrades lies the inherent robust product strength of the Deepal G318. As a mid-to-large-sized rugged SUV, it excels in power, off-road capability, and basic configuration.
2.1 Power and Range
The Deepal G318 features a range-extending solution suitable for both urban and off-road use. All models are equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender as the power source, offering both single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive versions.
The four-wheel drive version boasts a total system power of 316kW and a peak torque of 572N·m, achieving 0-100km/h acceleration in just 5.9 seconds.
The battery uses a 35.07kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack. Under CLTC conditions, the pure electric range is 190km for the two-wheel drive version and 174km for the four-wheel drive version, sufficient for daily commuting. In a depleted battery state, the WLTC combined fuel consumption can be as low as 6.7L/100km, balancing performance and economy.
2.2 Hardcore Off-Road Performance
Off-Road Capability: Thanks to the air suspension (equipped in the 4WD Secret Realm Edition), its minimum ground clearance is adjustable between 210-240mm, with an approach angle of 27° and a departure angle of 31°, giving it excellent road-conquering capabilities.
Extricability: The 4WD version is equipped with the ET All-Terrain System, supporting up to 16 driving modes to easily handle complex road conditions such as sand, mud, and snow. Furthermore, the combination of a central continuously variable differential lock and a magnetic mechanical differential lock further guarantees its off-road prowess.
2.3 Comprehensive Safety and Practicality
Body Structure: The body uses up to 75% high-strength steel, with a torsional stiffness of 45,000 N·m/deg, constructing a robust passive safety barrier.
Safety Features: All models come standard with 8 airbags, active braking, lane departure warning, and a 360° panoramic camera, providing comprehensive active and passive safety protection.
Expandability: The vehicle is designed with 5 major modification interface platforms, supporting official expansion equipment such as roof spotlights and cargo boxes, fully meeting users' personalized needs.
