What is it?
The Deepal S07 is the first Australian arrival from Changan's new EV-focused Deepal sub-brand, sold here through Subaru Australia's parent company Inchcape. The S07 is a mid-size five-seat electric SUV that lines up against the Tesla Model Y, BYD Sealion 7 and Xpeng G6, with a focus on cabin tech and price rather than headline charging numbers. A 79.97 kWh CATL NMC battery drives a single rear motor for a claimed 475 km WLTP range and a peak DC charge rate of 93 kW. On sale now at $47,990 drive-away, a campaign price with 20-inch wheels running until 31 August 2026, with a single high-specification RWD grade at launch.
Single grade on offer in Australia. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km (expected).
Interior and Technology
Sold through Subaru Australia, which means a 100-plus dealer service network from launch, unusual for a brand-new Chinese EV nameplate. 15.6-inch rotating central touchscreen, 14.6-inch augmented-reality head-up display, 14-speaker Sony audio standard.
93 kW peak DC is well below 800V Chinese rivals. No traditional driver cluster, screen-only layout will not suit every buyer. Untested by ANCAP or Euro NCAP at the time of writing.
