2025 Deepal S07 price and specs: Electric SUV undercuts Model Y

Chinese carmaker Deepal has confirmed its S07 mid-sized electric SUV will undercut the top-selling Tesla Model Y on price when it officially hits showrooms next week.

At the Sydney International EV Show this morning, Australian Deepal officials confirmed the S07 would be priced at $53,900 before on-road costs and will be available in a single specification.

That price means it undercuts the Tesla Model Y ($55,900 plus on-roads), and sits lineball with the new Kia EV5 ($56,770 drive-away).

2025 Deepal S07 price and specs: Electric SUV undercuts Model Y

The newcomer also comes in under the upcoming Xpeng G6 (from $54,800 plus on-roads), though doesn’t quite match the value equation of another Chinese mid-sized electric SUV, the Leapmotor C10, which opens at $45,888 before on-roads.

Deepal is bullish about the S07’s sales potential in Australia, confirming it will be sold initially via four showrooms – two in Sydney and two in Melbourne – when sales open on November 11, before separate showrooms in Queensland and Adelaide open in the first quarter of 2025.

In a bid to lure buyers from other marques, the S07 will also come with a complimentary 12-month public charging subscription through the national Evie network, and a 12-month roadside assist package.

The S07 will launch in Australia with a 160kW/320Nm single electric motor, and a 79.97kWh battery giving it 475km of claimed range. Power is sent to the rear wheels only.

The Deepal S07’s exterior is punctuated by bold exterior lines, a raked profile and gaping front air intakes, and inside there’s a Tesla-style minimalist design with flashy materials and flowing styling.

The cabin is headlined by a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen that can rotate left or right by 15 degrees to offer “better viewing angles”.

Meanwhile, a gesture control system enables passengers to control features including music, phone calls, and an in-cabin camera using hand gestures.

Where the S07 threatens to polarise buyers is with its lack of a traditional instrument cluster. Instead, Deepal has fitted an augmented reality head-up display that projects navigation directions, vehicle speed, and ADAS data onto the windshield.

The Deepal S07 comes standard with a seven-year, 160,000-kilometre warranty, and an eight-year, 240,000-kilometre battery warranty. Twelve months of complimentary roadside assistance is also included in the purchase price.

Drivetrains and Efficiency

Just one variant will be available at launch, employing a single-motor electric powertrain.

Australian-spec S07s will feature a 160kW/320Nm rear-mounted electric motor paired with a 79.97kWh ternary lithium battery, for a claimed range of 475km.

In its home market, the S07 is offered with a 190kW electric motor, and the choice of 66.8kWh and 79.87kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.

Deepal also offers the S07 with a range-extender powertrain in China, featuring a 1.5-litre petrol engine, though Australian officials haven’t outlined their plans for that model at the time of writing.

Servicing and Warranty

Deepal’s Australian distributor, Inchcape, declined to release aftersales information at the Sydney International EV Show today.

However, it said the fledgling Chinese brand would lean on Inchcape’s existing network in Australia, teaming with existing Peugeot and Subaru franchises.

Deepal will launch in Australia with a seven-year, 160,000-kilometre vehicle warranty, which grows to eight years and 240,000km for the EV battery.

The Chinese marque has also teamed up with Evie to offer a 12 month complimentary charging subscription.
