Changan Deepal S07

The Changan Deepal S07 is a mid-size electric SUV developed by Changan, one of China’s biggest and oldest carmakers, under its dedicated EV brand, Deepal. The Deepal S07 was designed in Turin to appeal to European tastes, and marks the first step in Changan's broader European strategy, which includes local sales, service, and production infrastructure across key European markets.

Design and Size

The Deepal S07 has the look of a coupe-SUV, mixing sporty lines with everyday practicality. It measures around 4 750 mm long, 1 930 mm wide, and 1 625 mm tall, with a 2 900 mm wheelbase, placing it firmly in the mid-size SUV category. On the outside, it shows off a slim full-width LED light bar and hidden door handles for a modern, aerodynamic look.

You can choose from five'star-inspired' paint finishes—Sunset Orange, Lunar Gray, Comet White, Eclipse Black, or Nebula Green—without paying extra. Inside, the cabin is spacious and tech-forward, featuring a panoramic roof, a 15.6‑inch touchscreen that rotates toward the driver or passenger, and an augmented-reality head-up display that projects navigation and safety alerts right onto the windscreen. Both front seats are heated, ventilated, and power-adjustable with driver memory settings, so comfort is assured on every trip.

Battery and Range

The Changan Deepal S07 packs a 79.97 kWh battery and an electric motor producing up to 160 kW, delivering around 475 km (295 mi) of WLTP range. Early testers report that this range feels realistic even during long motorway drives. DC fast charging is supported up to 93 kW, allowing a 30 % to 80 % top-up in roughly 35 minutes. Under the hood, it runs on an advanced 800-volt electrical system, helping with efficiency and overall performance.

Trim Levels

For Europe, the S07 will come in a single, well-equipped trim. Inside, the standard kit looks generous: a clean, screen-driven interior, lots of tech, and only a retractable tow bar listed as an extra option. That means buyers won’t need to spend fortune on add-ons.

Warranty Coverage

Changan is offering strong peace of mind for European buyers. The Deepal S07 comes with a 7-year general warranty and an 8-year or 200,000 km battery warranty, whichever comes first. The brand also plans a robust support network, including a parts hub in the Netherlands and over 1,000 dealerships across Europe, ensuring that service and maintenance are convenient no matter where you are.

Competitors

The Changan Deepal S07 enters a crowded mid-size SUV market but offers good value. With a starting price of €39,999, it undercuts the Tesla Model Y and goes head-to-head with cars like the Volkswagen ID.4, BYD Sealion 7, Zeekr 7X, Škoda Enyaq or Nio EL6. Some rivals can charge faster, but the Deepal S07 makes up ground with its high-quality interior, and generous equipment list. For value-minded buyers, it’s shaped up to be a serious contender.
