DEEPAL E07 FIRST LOOK: EV UTE-SUV COMING TO AUSTRALIA IN 2025!

EV Channels Review

The Deepal E07 presents a unique proposition as an EV Ute-SUV, confirmed for an Australian release in 2025. The reviewer highlights its distinctive styling, which successfully blends utility with a sleek, aerodynamic profile, making it appealing even to those not typically drawn to Utes. Key features include a versatile tailgate that can operate in multiple configurations, offering both full access for cargo and a partial opening for smaller items or as a seating area with a substantial 300kg payload capacity. The interior boasts a premium feel with soft-touch materials and a 'zero gravity' seat option (though not confirmed for Australia). The reviewer was particularly impressed with the E07's driving dynamics on a skid pan, noting its sedan-like handling and surprising agility for its size. While both BEV and EREV powertrains are available in China, the reviewer anticipates the BEV version will definitely come to Australia, with the EREV being a possibility. The lack of a traditional glove box and the complex Chinese interface were minor drawbacks. Overall, the E07 is positioned as a strong contender, offering a compelling blend of practicality, style, and driving enjoyment.
