Changan's NEV Division Deepal Unveils Global Model S07, Priced from $20,730 in China - News - 1

Deepal, the new energy vehicle (NEV) division of Changan Automobile, has unveiled its latest model, the Deepal S07 SUV, aimed at global markets. The S07, available in both extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) and battery electric vehicle (BEV) configurations, replaces the S7 to better align with the company’s global strategy.

At an event held yesterday evening, Deepal introduced the S07 as its next-generation global strategic model. The company previously offered models such as the SL03 series of electric sedans, the S7 SUV, and the G318 SUV in China. With the launch of the S07, the S7 is no longer listed on Deepal’s website, reflecting the shift in focus.

The S07 was rebranded as the S07 in Thailand, where it was first sold alongside the SL03 and S7 at the Thailand auto show on November 29, 2023. This rebranding was necessary for various reasons, including registration requirements.
