Some time ago, the fuel consumption of the Deepal G318 caused a huge uproar online. Regarding the false reports about the fuel consumption performance of the Deepal G318, not only did Deepal officially step in to refute the rumors and demand that this media outlet stop spreading them, but even multiple professional vertical media outlets retested to refute and clarify the fuel consumption of the Deepal G318.
The reason the Deepal G318 was relentlessly targeted by a small number of media outlets is mainly that this car has relatively high popularity on the internet. Because it has a certain amount of traffic, many media outlets seized on its fuel consumption to make a big deal out of it. But then again, as for how the Deepal G318 actually performs in terms of fuel consumption, the author believes that rigorous testing with scientific methods is still needed, because only such data can convince people.
So there was a follow-up to the fuel consumption controversy surrounding the Deepal G318. In order to refute the rumors, this time not only did the official side personally conduct actual measurements, but professional vertical media outlets also conducted actual measurements of the G318's fuel consumption. According to Yiche, which was the first to release test results, for the Deepal G318 four-wheel-drive Comfort Edition (with a large roof rack + HT tires), with the vehicle fully fueled + at low battery (SOC 20% charge), carrying 3 people in the car, with the air conditioning set to 24° and fan speed at level 2, the energy mode set to city mode, and the driving mode set to comfort mode, the final measured average fuel consumption at low battery was 5.78L/100km.
At the same time, Deepal officially also conducted a live broadcast of fuel consumption tests on the Deepal G318 four-wheel-drive Comfort Edition and two-wheel-drive Comfort Edition. Among them, the vehicle configuration of the four-wheel-drive Comfort Edition was the same as the Yiche test standard, but the official test carried 4 passengers and drove 113 kilometers round trip, including 55% highways + urban expressways, 36% city roads, and 9% uphill sections. Under the above conditions, the final measured fuel consumption of the Deepal G318 (four-wheel-drive Comfort Edition) was 6.9L/100km. Although this set of data is higher than Yiche's test result, its test road conditions are closer to the owner's daily driving environment, so the data has high reference value.
In addition, the Deepal G318 two-wheel-drive Comfort Edition was also tested together. The road conditions it was tested under were consistent with those of the four-wheel-drive Comfort Edition, the air conditioning was also set to 24° and fan speed levels 2-3, and the car carried 3 people. The final test result was 5.86L/100km.
This time, the official actual measurements as well as the actual measurements by some vertical media outlets of the Deepal G318's fuel consumption data are, in the author's personal view, very persuasive. Because this test itself was meant to break the rumor that "the Deepal G318 has high fuel consumption." Once the real data came out, it completely slapped the rumor mongers in the face. In fact, regarding a vehicle's real fuel consumption, one point the author wants to emphasize is that it may be affected by various factors: such as external ambient temperature, road conditions, driving habits, and vehicle load.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the fuel consumption tested this time has reference significance, the road conditions, driving mode, and energy mode used in the official test were consistent, so the data obtained in this way is very valuable as a reference for netizens who are preparing to buy or are about to buy the Deepal G318.
As a new energy SUV, the advantage shown by the Deepal G318 in fuel consumption performance is mainly due to its Super Range Extender 2.0 technology. This technology is an innovative technology of Deepal, and it consists of three core systems: Force Super Electric Drive 2.0, Force Intelligent Range Extender 2.0, and Golden Bell Shield 2.0.
Among them, the Force Super Electric Drive 2.0 system is 17% lighter and 10% smaller than the 1.0 product, and its maximum power density reaches 2.53kW/kg, surpassing brands such as Tesla and Xiaomi. In addition, thanks to technologies such as 0.2mm ultra-thin stator and rotor low-loss silicon steel sheets, the operating efficiency of this electric drive assembly reaches 92.59%, firmly ranking first in the world.
In addition, Force Intelligent Range Extender 2.0 also adopts multiple advanced technologies, achieving the world's highest mass-production oil-to-electricity conversion efficiency, generating 3.63 kWh of electricity from 1L of fuel.
The battery pack of the Golden Bell Shield Battery 2.0 system has a cycle life of more than 5,000 times and no perceptible degradation over 600,000 kilometers. So even if charged once a day, it will not affect the normal use of the vehicle for more than 10 years. It also improves the safety of the entire battery pack from the source and adopts battery safety technologies such as all-time temperature sensing alarms and full-domain short-circuit protection.
The reason the Deepal G318 stands out among many new energy SUV products is due to its outstanding performance in power, fuel consumption, and safety. The Super Range Extender 2.0 technology adopted by the Deepal G318 brings users a truly economical, environmentally friendly, and efficient car-using experience, which is what cements the Deepal G318's leading position in the new energy market.
As for this controversy caused by fuel consumption, what the author wants to say is: "Rumors stop with the wise!" It is said that spreading rumors takes only a mouth, while refuting them takes running all over. Now that online information spreads rapidly, we should all the more improve our own judgment, learn to distinguish the true from the false in information, and not believe or spread rumors. At the same time, in the face of rumors or false information, the official side should also step in as soon as possible to verify whether the matter is true or false. So this time Deepal did very well, using facts to break the rumors and letting more users understand the real fuel consumption performance of the Deepal G318.
