2025 DEEPAL S07 REVIEW: THIS CHEAP CHINESE CAR NEEDS WORK!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Deepal S07 presents a compelling package with its attractive exterior design, premium interior materials, spacious cabin, and impressive panoramic glass roof. The reviewer highlights the excellent range and the intuitive, highly customizable infotainment system, powered by a robust Qualcomm 8155 chip. However, the vehicle is significantly hampered by poorly calibrated safety systems, particularly the driver attention monitoring, which is described as "borderline dangerous" and intrusive, even failing when sunglasses are worn. While the car offers good practicality and a decent 0-100 km/h time of 7.52 seconds (beating the claimed 7.9s), these strengths are overshadowed by the safety system issues. Until these critical software flaws are addressed through updates, the reviewer cannot recommend the Deepal S07, suggesting it feels like a "half-baked potato" despite its many positive attributes and competitive $53,900 price point.
