Deepal G318

The Deepal G318 is built for Saudi drivers who want more than a family SUV. It can cross sand dunes, handle rough desert tracks and still cruise comfortably on highways. With a total range of 848 km and some serious off-road capability, it arrives in KSA through Almajdouie Motors as a single fully-loaded version.

Price

The Deepal G318 price starts at SAR 152,300 , including taxes. It comes in a single REEV variant.

Engine and Performance

The G318 uses REEV technology, which means it runs on electricity but carries a small 1.5-litre petrol engine that works as a generator to keep the battery charged. You never plug in and hope for the best,  the petrol engine tops up the battery automatically when needed.

Total output is 430 hp with 575 Nm of torque, and it uses all-wheel drive. The combined range is 848 km, with 138 km available on electric power alone. DC fast charging takes the battery from 30 to 80 percent in 30 minutes.

Ride and Handling

The G318 rides on air suspension, which automatically adjusts to keep things smooth whether you're on the highway or a rough desert track. Ground clearance reaches up to 240 mm, meaning it clears most obstacles without drama. It includes dedicated terrain modes for sand, mud and water crossings, practical settings for weekend trips. Towing capacity is 1,600 kg, suitable for a small trailer or boat.

Road Presence

Tall, boxy and confident. The G318 has a strong presence on the road. It comes with a roof rack and front searchlights as standard, which suits buyers who actually use their SUV for what it's designed for.

Interior and Features

The cabin is well-equipped from the start. You get a large rotating central display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a premium sound system, and voice controls. Boot space is 818 litres, enough for a full family's camping gear. Rear AC vents keep back-seat passengers cool, which matters in the summer.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The G318 comes with six airbags, automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, lane assist, a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, hill start assist, tyre pressure monitoring and ISOFIX child seat anchors. The 360-degree camera is particularly useful when manoeuvring off-road or in tight parking.

Rivals

The main alternatives are the Haval H9, Haval V7 and BAIC BJ60, but the G318 stands out with its REEV range, 430 hp output and the air suspension system, which none of the rivals offers at this price.

Sayarabay Says

The G318 is a well-equipped, capable SUV at a fair price for what it offers. The 848 km range and genuine off-road hardware make it a practical choice for buyers who travel long distances or spend weekends in the desert. The only real question is the long-term reliability, since Deepal is new to Saudi Arabia. Almajdouie backs it with a 6-year or 250,000 km warranty, which goes a long way to managing that uncertainty. Worth a test drive.
