What Is the Deepal S07?

The Deepal S07 is a mid-size electric SUV made by Deepal Auto, which is the new-energy vehicle division of the Chinese automaker Changan. In Deepal’s current lineup, the S07 sits in the mid-range position – above the smaller Deepal SL03 sedan but below future flagship models.

The S07 is a five-door, five-seat D-segment crossover SUV. Depending on the version you choose, it comes with either rear-wheel drive (RWD) for the all-electric model or a front-engine, rear-motor setup for the extended-range electric (EREV) version.

What makes the Deepal S07 notable? It’s the first production vehicle from Deepal to offer Huawei’s Qiankun ADS SE as an optional advanced driving system (Level 2+). That’s a direct result of the technology partnership between Changan and Huawei.

Deepal S07 Powertrain and Charging: What You Need to Know

The Deepal S07 comes in two versions: fully electric (BEV) and extended-range electric (EREV).

All-Electric (BEV) Version

  • Battery size (usable): 79.97 kWh (LFP type, from CATL or Ningde Times)

  • WLTP range: Approximately 475 km (295 miles)

  • Onboard AC charger: 11 kW (three-phase)

  • DC peak charging rate: 160 kW

  • 10–80% charge time: 27 minutes under ideal conditions

Extended-Range (EREV) Version

  • Battery size: 31.73 kWh (LFP)

  • Electric-only WLTP range: ~145 km (90 miles)

  • Total combined range (electric + petrol): Over 1,100 km (683 miles) – based on CLTC standards

  • Range extender: 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine (95 PS), which charges the battery while driving

Note on unconfirmed specs: WLTP figures for the EREV’s combined cycle are not yet finalised by European regulators. The numbers above are based on manufacturer-published CLTC targets.

How Much Does the Deepal S07 Cost?

Pricing varies by market. Here’s the current breakdown:

MarketPrice Range (approx.)
China149,900 – 212,900 RMB (20,600–29,300 USD)
ThailandFrom 1,399,000 THB (~$38,000 USD)

The higher price in export markets like Thailand reflects import duties and logistics costs.

Who Is the Deepal S07 For?

Let’s be real: the Deepal S07 is not trying to beat a Porsche. It’s designed for value-conscious private buyers and small families who want a spacious, tech-heavy electric crossover. If you’re open to a newer brand and care more about features and range than a traditional badge, this car deserves a look.

Where Does the Deepal S07 Fit in the Brand Lineup?

From Changan’s own stable:

  • Below: Changan Qiyuan A07 (simpler, lower-priced sedan)

  • Above: Avatr 11 (more premium, larger flagship SUV)

Who Competes With the Deepal S07?

External rivals include:

  • BYD Sea Lion 07 – Similar size and price in China

  • Tesla Model Y – Global benchmark, but at a higher price point

Closest Direct Competitor

The most spec-for-spec, price-to-price rival outside China is the Xpeng G6. Both offer similar wheelbase lengths, advanced driver assist options, and comparable pricing in export markets. If you’re shopping for a mid-range Chinese electric SUV, the Deepal S07 vs Xpeng G6 comparison is the one you’ll see most often.

Final thought: The Deepal S07 isn’t trying to be flashy. It’s trying to be practical, well-equipped, and competitively priced. And for a growing number of buyers, that’s exactly what works.
