The GCC markets are gearing up this year to welcome the Changan Deepal G318 Worry Free edition, crafted to satisfy the passion of desert adventurers and long distance travelers. The SUV carries an official starting price of 185,900 yuan (93,539 AED), which falls to 152,900 yuan (76,934 AED) after government incentives and the limited time upgrade program running through May 31, 2025.
This model pairs Deepal’s distinctive boxy silhouette with modern enhancements engineered to tackle the harshest terrains. Offering both rear drive and four wheel drive configurations, it delivers the confidence and off road capability that Gulf drivers demand. Thanks to its robust performance and tailored features, the Changan Deepal G318 Worry Free edition proves perfectly suited to GCC conditions.
Bold Exterior Design
The Worry Free edition preserves the G318’s boxy silhouette while adding rugged styling cues. The front grille incorporates diagonal accents seamlessly integrated with an interrupted LED light bar that spans the vehicle’s width and links to C‑shaped daytime running lights for a distinctive visual effect. Hood vents feature raised surrounds accented in black to emphasize the vehicle’s muscular stance. The front bumper sports metal skid plate highlights and hidden tow hooks, each rated for five tons and capable of a combined ten ton towing capacity.
Color Schemes Inspired by National Route 318
The Deepal G318 Worry Free Edition takes its exterior hues from the diverse landscapes along National Route 318, capturing the spirit of adventure and the essence of the journey. Its bodywork is offered in Sunrise Gold, Motuo Grey, Canyon Black, Tagong Green, and Gongga Silver, each echoing desert dunes and verdant mountain scenery. Inside, the cabin features Saint Lake Green upholstery with brown accents and precise stitching, creating a warm yet luxurious ambiance.
Luxurious Cabin with Smart Adventure Gear
The cabin features a 10.25 inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.6 inch central touchscreen display equipped with physical buttons for intuitive control on rough terrain. It offers wireless phone charging and dedicated buttons for selecting drive modes. Front seats provide ventilation, heating, and massage functions, while rear passengers enjoy 4:6 split folding seats, a well organized cargo area, and a 220 volt power outlet for camping gear.
Powerful Performance and Advanced Suspension Systems
The rear wheel drive model pairs a 1.5 liter range extender engine (110 kW) with a rear electric motor producing 185 kW. The all wheel drive variant combines a front electric motor rated at 131 kW and a rear motor at 185 kW, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds. Its adaptive air spring suspension offers three ride height levels, ensuring exceptional stability and comfort on uneven terrain.
Driver Assistance Technologies and Advanced Safety
The Changan Dipall G318 Worry Free integrates an ET all terrain system that offers 16 distinct driving modes, including Eco, Sport, Mountain, and Sand, as well as custom settings for special scenarios. The model employs the NOA system to automate speed control and lane changes during heavy traffic. Safety is further reinforced by automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assistance, and pedestrian alerts, all of which bolster driver confidence even under the most challenging conditions.
Competitive Analysis and Market Position
The Deepal G318 Worry Free competes directly with models such as the Tank 400 Hi4‑T, priced between CNY 285,800 and 289,800 (AED 143,805–145,818), and the Fengche Leopard 5, which retails from CNY 239,800 to 329,800 (AED 120,660–165,945). In March 2025, the Deepal G318 “Worry Free” achieved sales of 1,046 units, earning it the 23rd spot in the mid size SUV segment.
Market indicators suggest that when the Deepal G318 by Changan Worry Free enters the GCC market in the last quarter of this year, it will represent a strong addition to the region’s SUV lineup. Its combination of rugged performance and premium technologies is expected to attract desert driving and mountain trail enthusiasts looking for a blend of comfort and confident off road capability.
