The Deepal L06 was unveiled on September 8, 2025, showcasing a host of features that set it apart in the competitive electric vehicle (EV) market. At the heart of this vehicle is the revolutionary 3nm chip, manufactured using the same process as Apple's A18 chip. This chip promises to deliver unprecedented processing power and efficiency, enhancing the vehicle's infotainment and driver-assistance systems. The inclusion of such advanced technology underscores Changan's commitment to innovation and its ambition to lead in smart vehicle technology.
Design-wise, the Deepal L06 embraces Changan's latest design language, with a headlight cluster inspired by natural elements like 'cold orchid' and 'ice crystal,' creating a 'blooming petal' effect. The vehicle's dimensions—4830mm in length, 1905mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a 2900mm wheelbase—offer a spacious interior and a commanding road presence. Additionally, the L06 features a T-shaped dashboard with a large central control screen and a 50-inch Augmented Reality Head-Up Display (AR-HUD), enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
The Deepal L06 offers two powertrain options: a pure electric (EV) variant and an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) version. The EV model is equipped with a 200 kW electric motor and offers battery options that provide ranges of 560 km and 670 km. Meanwhile, the EREV variant combines a 1.5L range extender engine with a 175 kW electric motor, delivering a unique blend of power and efficiency. This model provides a 180 km pure electric range, making it a versatile option for various driving needs.
The launch of the Deepal L06 comes at a pivotal time for Changan, as the company seeks to expand its footprint in the global EV market. By integrating the world's first automotive-grade 3nm cockpit chip, Changan not only showcases its technological prowess but also sets a benchmark for future vehicle innovations. This move could influence other manufacturers to explore similar advancements, potentially accelerating the pace of innovation across the industry.
Looking ahead, the impact of Changan's Deepal L06 on the automotive landscape could be significant. As more consumers gravitate towards electric vehicles, the demand for enhanced technology and performance features will likely increase. Changan's introduction of the 3nm chip positions it as a leader in this space, and the Deepal L06 could serve as a catalyst for further advancements in automotive technology, offering a glimpse into the future of smart, connected vehicles.
