Overview

The L06 slots under the SL03 and L07 in Deepal's lineup. Just like the SL03, the L06 is available in both battery electric and range extended forms.

It is similar to the Tesla Model 3 in terms of dimensions. The L06 is 110mm longer, 56mm wider, 37mm taller, and has a 30mm longer wheelbase.^[2]

Design and features

All trims will come equipped with a 3-nanometer automotive-grade cockpit chip, making the L06 the first production car to do so. Every trim will also come standard with LiDAR sensors. A closed-off grille and split headlights are both present. The L06 uses a coupe-like profile.^[3] The L06 debuts a new headlight design, using "blooming petal" style headlights.^[4] The interior adopts a T-shaped layout, uses a 50-inch AR-HUD, and has a large central touchscreen of unknown size.^[5]

Powertrain

Electric models receive a 268 horsepower (200 kW; 272 PS) motor, paired with a 56.12 kWh or 68.82 kWh battery, both of which are made of lithium iron phosphate. EV models with the 56.12 kWh battery get a range of 560 kilometres (348 mi) and models with the 68.82 kWh battery get a range of 670 kilometres (416 mi). Extended range models use a 235 horsepower (175 kW; 238 PS) motor with a 28.39 kWh battery (also made of lithium iron phosphate) that provides an all-electric range of 112 miles (180 km). The EREV version uses a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated inline 4 engine producing 97 hp (72 kW; 98 PS) as a generator. The specific engine used is unknown.^[4][5]

The total range for the extended range model is currently unknown.
