On October 22, we learned from the official website of Deepal that its mid-size sedan, Deepal SL03, has received the first batch of license plates for autonomous driving at the L3 level. As of now, the current model has four configurations, with a price range of 129,900 to 146,900 RMB. In brief, the Deepal SL03 features a closed front grille and a pair of long, narrow headlights, providing good visual recognition.
