00:00Welcome to the video from the Tuning Blog Car Magazine on the topic of the Shang Depal SN9.
00:11As always, you can find the link to read the article in our magazine in the video description.
00:17The Chinese car manufacturer Chang is one of the five largest car manufacturers in China,
00:22but is still hardly known in Germany. That could change with the Depal S09,
00:27a luxury SUV with impressive dimensions and innovative hybrid technology.
00:33Families in particular are likely to appreciate the generous amount of space.
00:38But the real highlight of the vehicle is its exceptionally long electric range.
00:44The Depal S09 belongs to the category of so-called extended-range electric hybrids.
00:50Unlike conventional hybrid vehicles in Europe, which usually rely on a parallel drive system,
00:55the S09 runs exclusively on electric power.
01:00The installed petrol engine serves only as a generator to recharge the battery when needed.
01:06There is no direct connection between the combustion engine and the drivetrain.
01:13This ensures more efficient use of the electric drive and a greater range without the need for complex charging infrastructure or an oversized battery.
01:21The vehicle's long electric range is particularly noteworthy.
01:27While typical plug-in hybrids usually only drive between 60 and 80 kilometers on pure electricity,
01:33the Depal S09 can achieve up to 180 kilometers according to Eventral.com.
01:40This means fewer charging stops and a longer battery life, as fewer charging cycles are required.
01:46By comparison, 10 years ago, the first plug-in hybrids from German manufacturers such as BMW and Porsche could often only cover 30 kilometers on pure electricity,
01:57which meant 1,000 complete charging cycles after 30,000 kilometers.
02:02The Depal S09 sets new standards here.
02:05The vehicle is designed as a six-seater with three Rosa seats and is supported by a 1.5L petrol engine.
02:13There are two drive variants, a version with an electric motor on the rear axle with an output of 231 kilowatts
02:20and an all-wheel drive version with an additional electric motor on the front axle with an output of 131 kilowatts.
02:27Together, this results in a system output of 492 horsepower.
02:31There is no specific information about the battery capacity so far.
02:36It is known, however, that a lithium-iron phosphate battery from TERL will be used.
02:43Various weight specifications indicate that there will be several batteries.
02:49The market launch for the Chinese market is planned for the first half of 2025.
02:54The starting price is expected to be around 40,000 euros.
02:57It is currently unclear whether and when the Depal S09 will also be available in Germany.
03:07With its impressive dimensions of 5.5 meters long, 2 meters wide and 1.80 meters high,
03:14the SUV towers over many competitors, including the Volvo XC90.
