DEEPAL, the intelligent electric mobility brand under Changan Automobile, has expanded its regional line-up with the launch of the all-new DEEPAL G318 in partnership with Al Tayer Motors, its exclusive UAE distributor. The model made its regional debut on November 18 at Nara Oasis within the Nara Desert Escape in Dubai, the brand’s third launch in less than a year.Positioned as a “Super Hybrid” SUV built for both urban versatility and full-scale off-road capability, the G318 integrates the latest advances in DEEPAL’s electrified powertrains, intelligent driving features and rugged design philosophy.
“We are committed to bringing intelligent, efficient, reliable, and design-driven mobility solutions to the Middle East and Africa,” said Xiao Feng, General Manager of Changan Automobile’s Middle East and Africa Division. “The launch of the DEEPAL G318 reflects this vision, delivering advanced technology and wide-ranging capabilities to match the evolving needs of drivers in this vibrant region.”
Following the success of the S05 and S07, the DEEPAL G318 builds on the brand’s electric and hybrid momentum with a model engineered for adventure, long-distance comfort and daily practicality. With a starting price of AED 129,900, the G318 arrives with a six-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and eight-year/150,000 km battery warranty.
Ashok Khanna, Chief Executive Officer of Al Tayer Motors, said the latest launch demonstrates the distributor’s commitment to expanding sustainable mobility in the UAE. “The DEEPAL G318 is a game-changer for customers seeking adventure without compromising on environmental responsibility or cutting-edge technology. We are excited to bring this bold new vehicle to our showrooms and continue building momentum for the brand.”
Design: Rugged Form Meets Futuristic Function
The G318 adopts DEEPAL’s new ‘Meteorolite Cutting’ design language—sharp, sculpted surfaces inspired by natural metallic forms. Aerodynamic lines, a strong stance and elevated ground clearance signal off-road readiness, while the interior delivers a contrasting environment of calm and sophistication.
Inside, the SUV features a streamlined, high-tech cockpit anchored by a large central display. Soft-touch materials, ambient lighting and advanced noise insulation elevate comfort and refinement across both daily commutes and long-distance escapes.
Powertrain: Super Hybrid Performance With Dual-Motor 4WD
At the core of the G318 is DEEPAL’s Super-Hybrid system, combining dual-motor four-wheel-drive traction with a range-extended electric powertrain. The result is a pure EV-like driving experience supported by exceptional efficiency and instant torque.
The SUV’s Magic-Carpet Suspension system elevates driving comfort, pairing CDC adaptive damping with air suspension and active terrain scanning. Complementing this, the ET Intelligent All-Terrain System adjusts engine, suspension and differential settings automatically to suit real-time surface conditions—making off-road driving more accessible for all drivers.
The G318 features eight airbags, premium driver-assistance systems and a 540° panoramic imaging suite for enhanced situational awareness. Safety technologies include Integrated Adaptive Cruise Control (IACC), Blind Spot Detection, Rear Side Warning and Lane Change Assist.
The Smart Cockpit adds bilingual voice interaction (English and Arabic), online navigation and remote-control functions via mobile app. Cabin comfort is enhanced by the DEEPAL Sound System and full-vehicle acoustic insulation.
The model uses Changan’s Golden Shield Battery—a high-safety unit with a proven record of zero spontaneous combustion across more than 400,000 vehicles in service, backed by a lifetime warranty. Its hybrid architecture is engineered to minimise fuel consumption and maximise range, supporting the brand’s sustainability goals without compromising performance.
With next-generation design, advanced electrification and all-terrain capability, the DEEPAL G318 marks a significant step forward for the premium hybrid SUV segment for tgr brand. Al Tayer Motors is now offering the model through altayermotors.com/deepal, the Al Tayer Motors app and by contacting 800 MOTORS.
