The Changan Deepal S07 is a premium electric SUV designed to challenge top players in the EV market. Developed through a partnership between Changan, Huawei, and CATL, the S07 offers advanced driving technology, stylish Italian design, and flexible powertrain options—all at a highly competitive price.
Italian-Inspired Styling and Aerodynamics
Styled by the Italian design team of Bertrand Bach, the Deepal S07 features:
- A sleek coupe-SUV profile
- Frameless doors and retractable handles
- LED “slash” headlights and a drag coefficient of just 0.258 Cd
This EV is as visually stunning as it is aerodynamic, aimed at drivers who value both form and function.
Dual Powertrain Options: EV or EREV
The Deepal S07 offers multiple drive options:
- Pure Electric (EV):
- 66.8 kWh or 79.97 kWh battery
- 218–258 hp, up to 620 km CLTC range
- 160 kW DC fast charging
- Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV):
- 238 hp electric motor + 1.5L petrol generator
- 121–200 km electric-only range
- Total range up to 1,000 km (petrol-assisted)
- AWD Performance Version:
- 536 hp, 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds
- 700 km range (NEDC)
- 800V ultra-fast charging
Whether you’re commuting in the city or traveling cross-country, the S07 has a solution.
High-Tech Interior Powered by Huawei
Inside, the Deepal S07 offers a luxurious, high-tech experience:
- 15.6″ HD center screen, digital instrument cluster, and co-pilot screen
- Powered by Huawei HarmonyOS with OTA updates
- 50W wireless charging, panoramic roof, ambient lighting
- 540° camera system and intelligent voice control
The interface is fast, responsive, and designed for both driver and passenger interaction.
Autonomous Driving & Safety
Huawei’s DriveONE platform and ADS SE (Qiankun Smart Driving) deliver semi-autonomous capability:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
- Driver fatigue monitoring
- Remote self-parking
The S07 competes directly with much more expensive European EVs in safety and autonomous features.
Global Expansion and Value
After a successful launch in China, the S07 is expanding to markets including:
- Thailand
- Nepal
- Mexico
- Europe (UK, Germany, Netherlands, Norway)
- Australia
In China, the S07 starts at CNY 169,900 (~$23,000). The expected UK price is under £40,000, significantly undercutting competitors like the Tesla Model Y.
