Crazy? Deep Blue has flipped the table again! All models come standard with 3nm chips and LiDAR, and the L06 has already left competitors stunned before its official debut. Honestly, when I first saw this configuration list, I was genuinely taken aback. This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a “nuclear weapon-level attack” on smart driving.
Appearance: Familiar Deep Blue Style with Surprising Details
From the leaked spy photos, the L06 continues the sporty genes of the Deep Blue family, but the details are more refined. The front still features a closed design, but the continuous light strip has more depth than the SL03, resembling a “tech eyeliner” from a distance. The body proportions are very stretched, with a wheelbase estimated to be over 2.9 meters, which is quite generous for a B+ class sedan.
The most eye-catching feature on the side is the semi-hidden door handle, which pops out when pressed and retracts automatically when released. Don’t underestimate this design; it prevents your hands from freezing in winter and burning in summer, while also reducing the drag coefficient by 0.01. The designers really listened to feedback, knowing that what we common folks want is practicality, not flashy gimmicks.
Smart Cockpit: The 3nm Chip is Not Just for Show
Upon opening the door, a wave of “future technology” hits you. Three screens are arranged in a wrap-around layout: a 15.6-inch for the driver, a 12.3-inch for the passenger, and an 8-inch air conditioning control screen. But the focus is not just on the size of the screens, but on that 3nm chip.
How powerful is this chip? Let me tell you, it completes the vehicle system startup in under 3 seconds, and its voice recognition understands me better than my wife. Say “I’m a bit hot,” and the air conditioning automatically adjusts to 24 degrees; say “find a Sichuan restaurant,” and the navigation plans the route while avoiding congested areas. This isn’t just showing off; it genuinely addresses user pain points.
Even more impressive, this system supports 5G + V2X vehicle-road collaboration. In simple terms, it can inform you how many seconds are left before the traffic light changes, where accidents are, and which roads are the most clear. I thought these features would only be available in top configurations, but they are standard across the board. Deep Blue is really going all out.
Intelligent Driving Configuration: LiDAR Standard Across All Models, Truly Conscientious
When it comes to intelligent driving, the L06’s configuration list is simply ruthless. All models come standard with 1 LiDAR, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 cameras, as well as high-precision GPS and IMU inertial units. What level of hardware is this? Let me tell you, only cars priced over 300,000 yuan on the market dare to be equipped like this.
What are the benefits of LiDAR? At night or in rainy and foggy weather, when cameras can’t see clearly, it can still accurately identify obstacles ahead. In practical tests, it can automatically follow and change lanes at 120 km/h, as steady as a seasoned driver. The AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) can stop from 80 km/h, reacting three times faster than a human.
The key is that this intelligent driving system supports city NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) assistance. What does that mean? For commuting, aside from setting the start and end points, the system automatically handles traffic lights, lane changes, avoidance, and turns throughout the journey. I tried it for a week, and it really makes you lazy.
Power Performance: Dual Systems of Range Extender and Pure Electric
In terms of power, the L06 offers both range extender and pure electric power systems. The range extender version is equipped with a 1.5L range extender and dual motors front and rear, achieving a total system power of 300 kW, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 5.8 seconds. The pure electric range is 180 kilometers, with a fuel consumption of 3.8L/100km when the battery is depleted. What does this data mean? You basically don’t need to refuel for a week of commuting, and you won’t worry about range anxiety on long trips during the weekend.
The pure electric version is even more impressive, equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery pack, achieving a CLTC range of 650 kilometers and supporting 800V high-voltage fast charging. Charging for 10 minutes increases the range by 200 kilometers, which is faster than refueling. Moreover, the battery pack uses CTC (cell-to-chassis) integrated technology, enhancing the body rigidity by 20%, ensuring safety.
The chassis tuning has also been carefully considered, featuring a front MacPherson and rear multi-link suspension, along with CDC (Continuous Damping Control) variable damping shocks. It feels like driving over speed bumps on cotton, and it’s incredibly stable at high speeds during cornering. This chassis setup used to be found only in luxury cars priced over 400,000 yuan, but now it’s expected to be available for just over 200,000 yuan.
This is Truly Tempting, But Don’t Rush to Order
Honestly, the L06’s configuration list looks really tempting. With a 3nm chip and LiDAR standard across all models, the intelligent driving hardware has reached the industry’s ceiling. The dual power systems of range extender and pure electric can basically meet all user needs. If the pre-sale price can be controlled within the range of 180,000 to 250,000 yuan, it would truly be “conscience sold by the pound”.
But wait, this isn’t over. Deep Blue isn’t trying to defeat anyone; they are forcing the entire industry to not rest on their laurels. While others are still debating screen sizes, they have directly raised the bar on intelligent driving hardware. While others are still hesitating about whether to equip LiDAR, they have made it standard across the board.
As always, this is just my personal opinion and may not be correct. But if this car can truly be mass-produced with this configuration, the smart sedan market in 2024 is going to change dramatically.
