2025 SL03 new listing, 11.99-14 6,900 yuan

After the successful release of the dark blue L07, Changan Automobile once again launched the 2025 dark blue SL03, and the new car launched three extended-range versions and a pure electric version, with a price range of 11.99 to 146,900 yuan.

At the same time, Changan Automobile also provides eight driving benefits, including driving fun replacement gift, driving fun financial gift, driving fun butler gift, driving fun car gift, driving fun car gift, and driving fun car maintenance gift, for 2025 dark blue SL03 users who place an order (pay the deposit) between September 27 and October 31 and complete the car pickup before 24:00 on November 30.

As a minor facelift, the new dark blue SL03 maintains the stylish and technological atmosphere of the original model in its exterior design. It still adopts a family-style headlight design, with a sharp front shape and smooth side lines, revealing a forward swooping dynamic posture. The rear spoiler is cleverly integrated at the rear, which not only enhances the aerodynamic performance, but also enhances the visual impact of the vehicle.

Stepping into the car, the interior of the new dark blue SL03 is equally eye-catching. The new car adopts a black-gold contrasting color design, bringing a unique "star flash black" interior color scheme, creating a high-end yet dynamic atmosphere. In the choice of interior materials, the dark blue SL03 is also quite particular. The wide application of Alcantara-like materials makes the interior feel more delicate. At the same time, its nearly 40% coverage rate also highlights Changan Automobile’s insistence on quality. In addition, the steering wheel, door panels, armrest boxes, seats and other parts are also decorated with black chrome, which further enhances the refinement of the interior.

In terms of power, the new dark blue SL03 also performs well. The extended-range version of the model is equipped with a 1.5L super-range extension system, and the maximum power of the system provides 160kW and 175kW for consumers to choose from, with a peak torque of up to 320 Nm. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with 18.99kWh and 28.39kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries, making the pure electric cruising range under CLTC conditions reach 140km and 220km respectively, which is a significant improvement compared to the old model.

The pure electric version is equipped with a 190kW motor with a peak torque of 320 Nm. After being equipped with a 56.1kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, the CLTC pure electric cruising range has reached an astonishing 530km. What’s more surprising is that the new car also supports 3C overcharging technology. It only takes less than 15 minutes for the SOC to be charged from 30% to 80%, and it can last 100 kilometers in ten minutes of charging, which greatly relieves users’ battery life anxiety.

2020 Lexus RX 350L： a luxury family crossover

Consistently one of the brand’s best-selling models, it was introduced more than two decades ago. Today, it’s a relaxed option for buyers who are looking for mid-size luxury, and with the addition of the three-row L-Type, buyers have more options than ever before. The 2020 model has received a light facelift and some small styling updates, while the interior features an updated infotainment system to help the RX battle its growing rivals.

Externally, you may notice that the front and rear trim panels of the 2020RX have been redesigned. At the front, the non-FSport version of the horizontal plate strip has been replaced by a mesh pattern that looks more luxurious, while the redesigned headlights look even more. There are fewer changes at the rear, the biggest change being the new taillights.

There are also two new colors for 2020, Moonlight Beige Metallic and Seaweed Green Pearl. We absolutely love the new green on our test car.

There are a few minor changes inside the RX, such as a new smartphone holder on the center console as well as the LexusEnform infotainment system now featuring AppleCarPlay and AndroidAuto, which can be accessed via a 12.3-inch touchscreen. Yes, the new screen no longer relies on the annoying remote touchpad. Now, this means it’s easier than before to change radio stations and enter navigation destinations.

Although we welcome the updates on the interior, the RX350L is narrow. The current RX is not designed to be three rows, so when it was decided that a third row needed to be added to the RX, it simply added 4.4 inches of length behind the C-pillar. That means only 23.5 inches of legroom, compared to 28.1 inches in the AcuraMDX, which is not much room. Rear room for the head is also limited.

Since the third row is narrower, it is best suited for small children and is only suitable for short trips around town. The extra length does give the RX350L more cargo space, with both the second and third rows folding 70.7 cubic feet of space, which is slightly better than the MDX’s 68.4 cubic feet of space.

In addition to the narrow third row, the RXL’s cabin is a good choice with comfortable first- and second-row seats and a very quiet environment. We also like the new 12.3-inch infotainment screen, which is now touchscreen, so it’s easier to use.

The RX350L is powered by a 3.5-liter, which is paired with an eight-speed. The V6 in the RX350L produces 290 and 263 pound-feet of torque, a slight drop from the RX350’s 295 and 268 pound-feet. Front-wheel drive is standard, but optional. The front-wheel-drive RX350L reaches 0-60mph in 7.9 seconds, compared to 8.1 seconds for the version.

If you’re looking for a more fuel-efficient option, the RX450hL is even better.

Around town, it’s easy to tell that the RX350L has been tweaked more in terms of comfort than sportiness. It’s true that some tweaks have been made to the sum of the 2020RX, such as the stiffer and thicker ones, to reduce roll and give the RX more steering response. The V6 can generate enough power, but we would never call it a sporty experience because of its lightweight steering and comfort. Instead, the RX makes it easy and comfortable for you and your family to get from point A to point B.

The 2020 350L starts at $48,325, and that’s an extra $1,400 if you want it. That’s a bit more expensive than the main Japanese competitors, the AcuraMDX ($45,525) and the InfinitiQX60 ($45,375).
