At the rear, the vehicle features a side-opening tailgate and a small exterior storage compartment equipped with mesh dividers, ideal for storing wet items like umbrellas or boots during off-road adventures in water or beach environments. This compartment also offers expansion capabilities for future upgrades.
The Fulwin X3L comes factory-ready with a 1.6T towing qualification and offers a rich ecosystem of customisation options, including a roof platform system, vehicle-mounted drone, physical buttons, roof rack with 75kg load capacity, side storage, trunk storage, side climbing ladder, side steps, off-road modification kits, and a small backpack with a smart display.
Inside, the vehicle adopts a design infused with rugged styling elements. Smart features include an embedded full LCD instrument panel and a floating 15.6-inch central control screen powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip.
For driver assistance, the Fulwin X3L is equipped with the Falcon 500 intelligent driving system featuring end-to-end algorithms. It supports mapless highway navigation, urban memory navigation, remote parking, trajectory-based reversing, and multi-level memory parking functions.

The single-motor version produces a system maximum power of 185 kW (248 hp) and peak torque of 300 Nm, while the dual-motor four-wheel-drive version boasts 315 kW (422 hp) of system power and 505 Nm of peak torque, enabling 0-100km/h acceleration in 4.7 seconds.

Pure electric range options include 135 km and 215 km variants, with a maximum combined range exceeding 1200 km.
The four-wheel-drive system offers nine driving modes, including compass turning, tank turning, low-speed crawling, flexible downhill, and off-road single-pedal operation.
