Changan Deepal S07

Summary

The Deepal S07 is a battery-powered SUV and the first model to launch in the UK from Chinese newcomer Changan.

Posing a leftfield sales challenge to electric SUVs from established brands, like the Skoda Enyaq, Tesla Model Y and Cupra Tavascan, as well as Chinese alternatives like the BYD Sealion 7, the Changan Deepal S07 has been highlights by the British motoring media for its value-for-money pricing and its roomy high-quality interior.

Beyond “a few tricksy digital easter eggs” like a “great” stereo, and “twinkly” interior and exterior lighting, Top Gear’s Paul Horell asserts that the SUV excells at offering “rational stuff”, including “good safety ratings, space for everyone, long warranty, loads of kit, a headline-grabbing price.”

“But the underlying ride quality and unimpressive efficiency allied to slow DC charging are considerable debits”, says Phil McNamara of Auto Express. “The S07 may be better to drive than some Chinese contenders – but overall it’s a pretty unremarkable car.”

While there are a number of published UK reviews of the Deepal S07, we don’t have enough data to give this Changan model an Expert Rating score just yet.

No eco rating

As of September 2025, the Deepal S07 has not been assessed by Green NCAP.

The Green NCAP programme measures exhaust pollution (which is zero for an electric car) and energy efficiency. Electric cars are much more energy-efficient than combustion cars, so the Deepal S07 is likely to score very highly in Green NCAP testing if and when it takes place. Check back again soon.
