What Enhancements Define the DEEPAL S07's Tech-Driven Identity?

At the 2025 Chengdu International Auto Show, DEEPAL officially unveiled the new DEEPAL S07. As the first major upgrade product after the new central state-owned enterprise’s control, the vehicle has undergone comprehensive hardware optimization focusing on interior design, driving control, intelligent assisted driving systems, and energy consumption performance. It is officially positioned as a “Technologically Intelligent Mid-size SUV.”

According to the information released by DEEPAL, the new S07’s interior boasts a yacht-style design with a wrap-around floating center console, providing a sense of visual extension. Official data shows the total soft package area of the vehicle reaches 10.7㎡, with certain areas using the same 100% plush suede material as the AITO M9. Paired with three interior color schemes—”Moon Fog Gray,” “Heatwave Orange,” and “Twilight Purple”—it creates a cabin atmosphere dominated by natural tones. The car features star-river rhythmic ambient lighting and floating light rhythmic speaker lights, equipped with dual zero-gravity front seats, with the driver’s seat offering 16-way electric adjustment and the passenger seat 14-way, both supporting graphene heating and therapy functions.

In terms of driving experience, the entire range comes standard with FSD variable damping shock absorbers and HRS hydraulic rebound stops, providing frequency-split vibration damping capabilities. For the chassis structure, the front suspension uses hydraulic bushings, while the rear has an H-arm multi-link setup, which the official statement claims can alleviate traditional SUV oscillation and impacts on speed bumps and rough roads, improving ride stability.

The intelligent driving system is one of the key upgrades. The new S07 is equipped with the Huawei QianKun ADS 4 SE system across all models, featuring the Huawei WEWA architecture, capable of city and highway assisted driving. Functions include intelligent on/off ramps, lane change assistance, traffic light recognition, and obstacle avoidance. The parking assistance system supports recognition and operation in over 300 scenarios, covering memory parking, remote parking, and out-of-vehicle parking. The vehicle also features the Qualcomm 8295P digital cockpit platform, supporting AI large model integration to enhance voice interaction and in-car system responsiveness.

In terms of power, the new S07 offers both extended-range and all-electric versions. The extended-range model is equipped with the DEEPAL Super Range Extension 2.0 System, paired with the Blue Whale Range-Extension-specific generator, with an official thermal efficiency of 44.39%. It generates 3.7 kWh per liter of fuel, with a fuel consumption of 3.8L/100 km under NEDC conditions, an electric-only range of 300 km, and a combined range of 1,385 km (CLTC conditions). It supports 3C fast charging, with charging from 30% to 80% taking about 15 minutes. The all-electric version is equipped with CATL cells and a Jinzhongzhao battery pack, offering a 550 km range under CLTC conditions, with an electric drive peak power of 200 kW, also supporting 3C fast charging, and standard with a heat pump air conditioner.

According to information provided by DEEPAL, the S07 has been exported to over 70 countries and regions worldwide, with cumulative sales exceeding 250,000 units. In 2025, this model will further enter markets in the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, and Portugal, with an annual export plan covering more than 90 countries and regions.

The debut of the all-new DEEPAL S07 marks an important move for DEEPAL at a major auto show since becoming state-owned. Leveraging the Chengdu Auto Show, DEEPAL is enhancing its “high-tech intelligent mid-size SUV” product positioning through multiple hardware releases and configuration upgrades, preparing for subsequent market launches and sales.
