Deepal L06’s 3 Million Yuan Suspension: Can It Beat a Tesla?

The engineers behind the Deepal L06 set out to deliver a driving experience that feels truly supercar-level. Their mission was simple: build a car that does not just go fast, but stays perfectly stable while doing it. To achieve that, they equipped the L06 with the same magnetorheological suspension system used in the Ferrari 296 GTB—a setup valued at 3 million yuan. This makes it the first Chinese mass-produced car to feature such advanced suspension technology, and it shows how far the nation’s automotive innovation has come.

The development process was no small task. The team conducted extensive tests and comparisons, focusing on one clear goal: combining speed with absolute stability. They discovered that making a car fast is easy, and keeping it stable is also achievable—but making it both fast and stable at the same time is the real challenge. That is exactly where magnetorheological suspension proves its worth. It reacts instantly to road conditions, adapting in milliseconds to maintain control and comfort, giving the Deepal L06 its “superpower” of smooth precision.

To see how it measures up, Deepal compared the L06 against one of the world’s most respected handling benchmarks—the Tesla Model 3. In high-speed tests, even when hitting bumps at 90 kilometers per hour, the L06 remained impressively composed. The body movement was minimal, and the car landed smoothly without any visible bounce. It felt confident, controlled, and refined.

On wave-like test tracks with continuous undulations at 75 kilometers per hour, the L06 kept its balance with ease, proving its ability to adapt instantly under heavy suspension loads. The result was a remarkably steady ride, inspiring a sense of safety and control even under extreme conditions.

The engineers also tested emergency lane changes to simulate real-world driving situations. The magnetorheological suspension kept the car firmly planted, with reduced body roll and faster recovery to center alignment. Each turn felt crisp and connected, delivering a sense of unity between driver and machine.

This is not just about advanced engineering—it is about confidence behind the wheel. The Deepal L06 shows that Chinese brands can now match, and even challenge, global performance standards. It delivers driving pleasure, safety, and control all in one.
