Changan has established two new brands to focus on electric cars, one of them is Shanlan. This brand, which produces and supplies high-quality products, plans to compete with the Tesla Model 3 in China by producing a new electric car. The new car of this company is called Changan Shenlan SL03, and recently some pictures and specifications of this Chinese car have been revealed, which we will discuss below.
Changan Shenlan SL03, which was jointly developed by Huawei and CATL, has many similarities with the famous liftbacks in the market. In general, it can be said that the appearance of this car reminds us of the Tesla Model 3, but the length of this car is a little longer and it has a sharper style. Also, there are more angles on the sides of the body of this car that add to its attractiveness.
In addition to the all-electric model, this car will also be launched in the market with a longer-range electric model with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine. But in this news, its all-electric model is mentioned more. The statistics and figures published about the technical specifications of this car indicate that the Changan Shenlan SL03 will provide its power from a 255 horsepower electric drive in the rear axle with a torque of 230 Nm.
Battery pack capacity This car is also announced as 58.1 kWh and according to China's WLTC standard, it can cover a distance of 515 km with a single full charge. Also, this Chinese car can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in 5.9 seconds. Shanlan has introduced this car as a competitor to Tesla 3 in China from the very beginning.
It is not bad to know that Tesla Model 3 is the best-selling electric car in China in most of the statistics and figures published by reliable sources. and therefore Changan Shenlan SL03 as a domestically produced car can compete with it. It is also not an exaggeration to compare this car with Tesla Model 3; Because SL03 has similar performance capabilities and both cars have many similarities in terms of design, and these similarities are more visible in the cabin of these cars.
Shenlan's new electric product, like its American counterpart, uses a minimalist design in the cabin and there is no mention of decorative trims. Other interesting features of Changan Shanlan SL03 include the use of a horizontal screen for the infotainment system, and according to one of the sources, it will be more practical than expected.
Introduction of a competitor for a product It is not an easy task for the well-known American brand, Tesla, and it has to be seen whether the Changan Shenlan SL03 can actually look like the Tesla Model 3 or not.
