Changan Deepal S07

Deepal S07 is Changan’s single 160 kW rear-drive electric SUV offering, paired with an 80 kWh battery.

Changan South Africa currently publishes the product simply as Deepal S07, without a separate grade label. The five-seat body is confirmed independently of that public derivative name. One rear-mounted motor produces 160 kW and 320 Nm, with rear-wheel drive. Current South African material gives an 80 kWh gross or nominal battery, 500 km WLTP range, 560 km NEDC range and 7.9-second 0–100 km/h time. The two range cycles must remain labelled, and neither guarantees real-world travel. S07 measures 4,750 mm long, 1,930 mm wide and 1,625 mm high on a 2,900 mm wheelbase. Normal clearance is 165 mm. A 125-litre front luggage compartment complements the 445-litre rear boot. Gross vehicle mass is 2,490 kg, tare is 2,073 kg and GCM is 3,810 kg. The current evidence does not establish a braked trailer capacity; towing hooks and GCM cannot authorise a trailer. Changan publishes a 35-minute 30–80 percent fast-charge time, dependent on the charger. AC power, DC peak, charge curve, usable capacity and battery voltage remain incomplete. The current 80 kWh figure supersedes an older local 66.8 kWh page. Twenty-inch wheels are listed in the current South African specification even though an official web summary retains a 19-inch line. The delivered vehicle, latest brochure and signed order must agree before handover. Standard equipment includes a rotating 15.6-inch centre screen, augmented-reality head-up display, smartphone integration, panoramic roof, dual-zone climate, powered ventilated front seats, 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise, collision warnings, lane support, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic functions. At the current South African starting price of R995,900, value depends on using this comprehensive one-grade package and having reliable charging, not on comparing a nonexistent entry trim. Because the live official page does not publish a separate grade label, the signed quotation should preserve the same Deepal S07 name. Buyers should therefore test the one published configuration directly and judge its charging, cabin and ride against their own recurring routes.

Where the Changan Deepal S07 Fits Best

A practical view of the buyer and roads this model is best suited to.

Who buys this

Deepal S07 suits a premium-EV buyer with secure overnight charging, a need for long published range and no desire to navigate a trim ladder. The combination of 125-litre front and 445-litre rear storage may help a family separate cables from luggage. A regular inter-city user should map reliable public chargers and hold a reserve rather than use 500 km as a promise. The derivative is less appropriate for someone who needs a confirmed tow rating, routinely faces rough tracks or cannot install charging. Insurance, home electrical work, public tariffs and 20-inch tyre prices should be calculated beside the R995,900 starting price.

City
In town, S07 combines quiet electric drive with a 360-degree camera and comprehensive warnings, but its 1,930 mm width needs an actual garage test. Check turning space, door opening, camera quality at night and the 165 mm normal clearance on steep ramps. Charge-port location and cable reach must fit the bay without creating a pedestrian hazard. Start a commute from recorded charge and log consumption with climate control and demisting active. Operate the rotating screen, head-up display and essential controls while stationary first. The 125-litre front compartment may hold cables, leaving the rear boot clean, but only a physical loading exercise proves whether that arrangement works.
Highway
Treat 500 km WLTP as a standardised comparison and build a real route plan from observed legal-speed consumption. Carry passengers and luggage, use climate control and record wind and elevation. Complete a 30–80 percent public charge, noting time, delivered energy, average power and taper. The published 7.9-second acceleration supports overtaking potential, but stability, ride and tyre noise require direct evaluation. Adaptive cruise and lane support are assistance rather than autonomous driving. Keep alternative chargers and a battery reserve. Do not fit a towbar or trailer until Changan provides written braked and unbraked ratings for this exact Deepal S07.
Off-Road
S07 is a rear-wheel-drive road EV with 165 mm normal clearance and 20-inch tyres. Maintained gravel can be approached carefully, but the official South African evidence lacks fully loaded clearance, wading depth and an off-road recovery specification. Battery enclosure and tyre protection deserve more attention than immediate motor torque. Avoid sharp rocks, deep ruts and water without written limits. Carry enough charge to return from a remote site if the destination charger fails. Recovery operators must use the correct high-voltage tow procedure and designated lifting points. A customer needing regular difficult-road access should favour a homologated traction and clearance package.

Changan Deepal S07 Deepal S07 review: 500 km WLTP range
Hagalu editorial review by Hagalu Editorial Team · 2026-09-07

Deepal S07 is Changan’s single 160 kW rear-drive electric SUV offering, paired with an 80 kWh battery. Deepal S07 has a coherent one-grade case: 160 kW, rear-wheel drive, an 80 kWh current battery, 500 km WLTP range, defined luggage volumes and a broad safety and comfort suite. Its 35-minute 30–80 percent claim is useful when kept charger-dependent. Remaining gaps include usable battery, AC/DC limits, real-world energy use, fully laden clearance and towing. Old local battery and wheel lines make a dated signed schedule especially important. For an owner with dependable charging who values the included technology, the single local configuration avoids the compromises of a stripped base grade. It should still be evaluated as a complete energy-and-ownership system. This Hagalu desk review weighs the published South African specification against the vehicle's intended buyer and use; it is not a road test, owner survey or customer rating.
