Changan Deepal S07 review: Premium looks, British dynamics – but is it enough to beat Tesla?

The Changan Deepal S07 is the first of a range of Changan models and brands arriving in the UK - (Changan)

British car buyers might not be familiar with Changan – yet. But with the Deepal S07, the Chinese giant is hoping to make a very European first impression.

The S07 is the first model from Changan’s Deepal sub-brand to reach UK showrooms – with more to come. And while the S07 hails from China, it’s been thoroughly fettled for our roads, with engineering work done right here in the UK, plus design input from Changan’s styling team in Turin, Italy. So yes, it’s a Chinese EV – but one with a very British (and Italian) flavour.
