As a very "new" brand, Deep Blue Auto was officially released on April 13, 2022, and launched its first model in July – the Deep Blue SL03. In just over 9 months, the cumulative delivery of this model has exceeded 50,000 units, which can be said to be amazing. The Deep Blue SL03 is based on the Changan EPA1 pure electric platform. Not only is the overall design sci-fi avant-garde, but the configuration performance is also quite excellent. Coupled with a sincere price, it is not surprising that it can achieve such dazzling results. For such a "popular" model for the household market, how is the practical performance of the Deep Blue SL03? This issue of the "Daily Practicality Test Report" will reveal the answer.
Test vehicle: 2022 dark blue SL03 515 pure electric version
Official guide price: 189,900 yuan
Functional configuration test link
The 2022 dark blue SL03 features an inductive unlock function, which automatically unlocks and extends a hidden door handle when the key is close to the vehicle. Get in the car and step on the brake pedal, hang it in D gear and drive directly.
The trunk tailgate supports three opening methods: the central control screen, the external button and the remote control key. With the electric tailgate, it is very convenient for daily use.
The opening switch position of the cabin cover is located at the lower left of the front of the driver’s seat. When opening, you need to pull the switch in the car first, and then turn on the switch located at the bottom of the cabin cover to lift it up. The cabin cover of the 2022 dark blue SL03 is equipped with two hydraulic support rods inside, and the hardware configuration is excellent, so it is relatively easy to open or close. It should be noted that as a pure electric model, the dark blue SL03 is under the hood of the front trunk, and the visual volume performance is quite good, which is more practical.
For consumers, the height of the threshold off the ground determines the convenience of getting on and off the bus to a certain extent. According to the measured results, the height of the 2022 dark blue SL03 threshold off the ground is 390mm, making it easier to get on and off the bus every day.
Second, the comfort configuration test link
The front seat adjustment button is located under the seat, and it can also be adjusted through the interface in the central control screen. The main driver’s seat supports 1 set of position memory. After adjusting the position, press "Save the driver’s seat" on the screen. For subsequent recovery adjustments, you only need to click the "Driver’s seat recovery button". The front seat supports 3-speed heating and ventilation functions, which can meet the needs of daily use.
In the test of the main driver’s seat, the distance between the front and end of the driver’s seat is 250mm, and the seat can be adjusted to a moderate stroke, which can meet the needs of most drivers.
The multi-function steering wheel supports manual up and down + front and rear adjustment, with an adjustable angle of 10.5 ° and an adjustable distance of 40mm. Overall, the adjustable range of the steering wheel is moderate, which can meet the usage habits of most consumers.
The 2022 dark blue SL03 rear seats are equipped with three independent headrests. Although the size of the middle headrest is small, the interior is soft and supports up and down adjustment, which can effectively support the passenger’s head.
The front center armrest is wrapped in leather, which has an excellent touch and a relatively large overall area. Although the center armrest does not support front and rear or angle adjustment, it can still provide effective support for the elbows when the driver is seated and holding the steering wheel.
III. Multimedia configuration test
The 2022 dark blue SL03 is equipped with a Type-A interface in the front row and a Type-C interface in the back row. The car is not equipped with a 12V power interface, which is slightly less practical. According to actual measurements, the voltage of the charging interface is about 5.2V, and the current is close to 2A, which can basically meet daily use.
With the increasing popularity of smart cars, more and more models are equipped with intelligent voice assistants. For the "intelligent voice system", we use the following four fixed speech techniques to judge the performance of the voice interaction system in terms of automatic speech recognition rate, response speed and controllable functions.
1. I’m a little cold/I’m a little hot
2. Open the window/open the main driver window/open the sunroof
3. I want to listen to "XXXX" (song title)
4. I’m going to Lunyang Building
After actual testing, the intelligent voice system of the test model can recognize and operate all the above functions. The response speed of this automatic speech recognition control system is quite fast, and in continuous dialogue, the system recognizes the instructions more accurately, and the interaction experience is satisfactory.
IV. Space configuration test link
As a space test that is closely related to consumers, in the previous test drive article "The belated power faction, test drive the dark blue SL03 pure electric version", we have already experienced its ride space, and this time we will evaluate the same amount of storage space and its convenience in daily life.
For the test of the use of space in the car, it is only for the space within reach of the front row, excluding the space that needs to be opened such as the glove box and the central armrest box. The test method is to place all the following fixed items in each storage space in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle storage space by the placement of fixed items. The selected fixed items in the test are: 2 bottles of regular-sized mineral water, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 satchel, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella, and 1 pack of regular-sized paper.
After testing, all the fixed items can be reasonably placed in each storage tank in the front row of the test model. Since the storage space at the bottom of the center console is quite large, many items can be placed. The door panel storage tank is large in size, and it is not a problem to put down an umbrella. In addition, the door handle also adopts a back cover design, which can hold small items.
The interior space of the 2022 dark blue SL03 trunk is relatively regular, and the overall space utilization rate is high. At the same time, due to the hatchback design of its tail, the opening area of the tailgate is considerable, and it is very convenient to transport goods. For the basic values of the trunk, we have also conducted actual measurements. The opening length is 1120mm; the opening width is 1000mm; the depth of the trunk is 1040mm; the vertical height between the trunk platform and the internal roof is 660mm.
V. Security configuration testing
In the front and rear vision tests of the vehicle, all seats in the vehicle have been adjusted to the lowest state, and the measured data have some deviations from the driver’s normal use, which is for reference only.
In the test of the forward vision, we used a 70cm high pile bucket as a reference, and then adjusted the distance between the vehicles until the upper edge of the pile bucket could be seen in the main driver’s seat. After testing, the final measured data of the pile bucket and the front of the car was 1.8m, which was better than the average of the same level.
In the rear field of view test, the pile bucket is still fixed, and then the vehicle is moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket can be observed. The distance measured by the rear field of view is 11.5m.
When testing the field of view of the external rearview mirror, first let the tester stand 10m perpendicular to the left and right rearview mirrors, and then start to move to the left and right sides until it appears on the outermost edges of the rearview mirrors on both sides, and measure its lateral distance. Then through the formula calculation, the angle angle of the rearview mirror field of view can be obtained. The larger the angle, the smaller the blind spot of the rearview mirror, and vice versa, the larger the blind spot of the rearview mirror.
Since the 2022 dark blue SL03 does not use double curvature lenses on both sides of the external rearview mirror, and the lens area is too small, the field of view on both sides is very general. The final test results of the rearview mirrors on both sides are 21.8 ° on the left and 21 ° on the right. The test results on the left side are in the middle and lower levels among the tested models of the same level, and the right side is higher than the average level of the same level.
During the test, the reversing radar can sense the rear object at 0.6m, and the radar power performance is quite average. According to the experience of previous tests, the closer the continuous beeping stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to daily use habits. From the measured data, the continuous beeping prompt distance of the 2022 dark blue SL03 is 0.27m, which is not much different from the test experience value.
The front parking radar can also sense the forward object at a maximum distance of 0.6m, and the maximum distance in the continuous beeping stage is 0.27m, which is consistent with the rear radar.
The test car is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic imaging system, which not only provides good picture clarity, but also has a wide range of display angles. According to the actual measurement, in addition to providing multiple display angles, the auxiliary line in the screen can also follow the rotation of the steering wheel to change the trajectory. In addition, the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle will be displayed on the image screen, and the measured error is small, which has good reference significance.
In daily use, vehicles often encounter turning or U-turns, and the steering flexibility of the vehicle is very important at this time. Knowing the road width required by the car to turn around in place can be done well to avoid dangerous situations such as scratches. After actual testing, the minimum road width of the 2022 dark blue SL03 to turn around in place is 9.6m, which is at the upstream level among the tested models of the same level.
In addition to the main driver’s seat, the 2022 dark blue SL03 is equipped with an in-car handle above the other three doors, which performs well. The in-car handle is necessary for people with limited mobility, and it can also play a certain auxiliary role in the safety of passengers on bumpy roads.
VI. Battery life test
In the actual road test, the test vehicle showed a pure electric mileage of 128km before starting, and the driving route passed through urban sections, of which 30% were congested sections, the average speed of the whole journey was about 30km/h, and the air conditioning temperature was 23 ° C. When arriving at the destination, the pure electric mileage was 106km, and the actual driving mileage of the vehicle was 21km. The table showed that the mileage was reduced by 22km, that is, the average mileage consumed per 1km was about 1.05km.
In addition, we also tested the charging efficiency. After 10 minutes of DC charging, the range increased from 5km to 141km. The charging speed is relatively fast, and it is basically in line with the estimated time of the vehicle’s computer.
Summarize:As the first model of the new brand, the pressure of the dark blue SL03 after its launch is undoubtedly very great, but with its excellent product strength, it has proved itself in just a few months. Compared with the same level of fuel vehicles, the dark blue SL03 has significantly higher overall space utilization, and it also shows quite comprehensive hardcore strength in design and configuration. There is no obvious shortcoming, I think it is the biggest highlight of this model. Such an all-round performance can fully meet the needs of daily household.
