NOT ANNOYING ANYMORE!! 2026 DEEPAL S07 REVIEW AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

The Deepal S07 has undergone a significant transformation, moving from a previously criticized vehicle to a strong contender in the affordable electric SUV market. The primary improvement lies in the software updates, which have addressed the "annoying" safety tech calibration that plagued earlier models. The ability to permanently disable intrusive systems like lane keeping and driver monitoring, and have them stay off, has made the S07 "far more livable and likable." The reviewer highlights the improved user experience, noting that the car is now "enjoyable" rather than distracting. While the core driving dynamics and comfort are deemed "decent" rather than class-leading, the substantial improvements in usability and the retention of a competitive price point (around $50,000 driveaway) make it a compelling option. The energy consumption is also praised, with real-world figures reportedly better than the WLTP claim. Minor gripes remain, such as the window switch orientation and some climate control memory issues, but overall, the Deepal S07 is now considered "well worth a test drive."
