Design and Dimensions
The Deepal S07 boasts a striking design that retains the essence of the S7 while incorporating modern aesthetics. The front of the SUV is characterized by a closed grille and sleek headlight assembly, which integrates 696 LED light sources. These LED units are not just for illumination but serve interactive functions, including displaying custom messages and patterns. The SUV’s side profile is marked by newly designed alloy wheels, hidden door handles, and a sharply rising window line. The rear features through tail lights and a distinctive split roof spoiler.
Dimensions of the S07 mirror those of its predecessor, measuring 4750 mm in length, 1930 mm in width, and 1625 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2900 mm. The range-extended versions of the SUV have weights of 1875, 1950, and 2025 kg, while the all-electric versions range from 2025 to 2035 kg, depending on the variant.
Interior and Features
Inside, the Deepal S07 offers a futuristic and tech-savvy cabin. Instead of a traditional instrument panel, the SUV features a head-up display as standard across all versions. A 15.6-inch 2.5K resolution central infotainment screen is standard, with higher trims adding a 12.3-inch entertainment screen for the front passenger. The top-spec versions come equipped with zero-gravity seats for both the driver and front passenger, which include heating and ventilation, and a massage function for the front passenger. Audio options vary between eight and fourteen speakers, and the infotainment system is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, enabling advanced features like face recognition and voice interaction. The system includes popular Chinese apps like QQ Music, Bilibili, and iQiyi.
Huawei ADS 3.0 Vision-Based System
One of the standout features of the Deepal S07 is its integration with Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 3.0 SE system. This advanced vision-based system offers high-speed driving assistance and is designed for various driving conditions, including national highways, urban expressways, and ring roads. Key functionalities include lane changes, intelligent obstacle avoidance, intelligent cornering, speed control, and ramp navigation. Additionally, the system supports intelligent parking with over 160 parking scenarios, showcasing a significant leap in autonomous driving technology.

The Deepal S07 comes in several versions, each offering different powertrains and battery capacities. The EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) variants feature a 1.5-liter JL473QJ engine with a maximum power output of 70 kW, supporting the electric motor in providing additional range. The electric motor in the four lower-priced EREV versions is a 175 kW unit delivering 320 Nm of torque, while the higher-priced versions use a 190 kW motor with the same torque.
Battery options for the EREV versions include 18.99 kWh, 31.73 kWh, and 39.05 kWh, corresponding to ranges of 1045 km, 1130 km, and 1200 km respectively.

Conclusion
The launch of the Deepal S07 SUV represents a significant advancement for the brand, showcasing not only a modernized version of the S7 but also the first deployment of Huawei’s groundbreaking ADS 3.0 vision-based system. With its comprehensive range of features, advanced technology, and varied pricing options, the Deepal S07 is set to make a notable impact in the SUV market.
