Tests met de Changan Deepal S07 die nu in het Verenigd Koninkrijk is gearriveerd.
Great price, lavish standard equipment and interior quality to shame Tesla. Shame that the ride comfort and charging speeds are so disappointing.
Good
Classy interior finish
Good equipment for the price
Lots of passenger space
Bad
Tiresome ride
Slow-ish rapid charging
Others have more boot space
The S07 is a convincing first offering from Changan. The costs, tech and interior finish are impressive and to many buyers it will feel like a lot of car for the money – especially if those monthly PCP finance deals are right.
But there are also a whole host of alternative electric SUVs out there that are better to drive, faster to charge and have a more useful boot.
So while the S07 has some persuasive aspects, it’s going to be a while before it’s troubling Tesla.

Verdict
Electric Chinese crossovers are like Sabrina Carpenter songs – they stick to a very predictable formula. True to form, the Changan Deepal S07 has lots of kit, loads of space and passable performance, all at a competitive price. But the underlying ride quality and unimpressive efficiency allied to slow DC charging are considerable debits. The S07 may be better to drive than some Chinese contenders – but overall it’s a pretty unremarkable car.What's a Changan Deepal S07? We've driven one so you don't have to | Auto Express
