In terms of appearance, in today’s square box style running all over the street, the dark blue G318 has chosen the hardcore + cyberpunk appearance style. It has a large body under the tough appearance. The length, width and height of the dark blue G318 are 4915 (4998)/1985/1885 (1960) mm (the length and height are different due to the original modification), and the wheelbase is 2880mm. The curb weight is 2360kg, and the wind resistance coefficient of the whole vehicle is 0.35CD.
In addition, the dark blue G318 also provides luggage racks, headlights, electric pedals, backpacks, and other original expansion parts, and the four-wheel drive model also has a maximum trailer quality of 1.6 tons.

The large-size screen adopts a built-in design, which not only looks simple and elegant, but also adds a sense of reliability. Most of the daily function buttons are integrated under the screen, and the physical buttons are real to the touch, allowing users to easily and accurately complete various operations during driving. Unlike the previous dark blue models, the G318 shift lever adopts the push-pull lever of a starship, which is very controlled.
