S07

Driving Experience

On real roads, the S07 feels more composed than it did on track—the suspension is soft and forgiving without being bouncy. It's a genuinely comfortable cruiser that doesn't pretend to be a sports car.

Pros

• Excellent real-world range and energy efficiency
• Large panoramic sunroof with electric blind
• Intuitive infotainment system with customizable displays
• Comfortable seats with good adjustment range
• Adaptive cruise control works reliably
• Well-designed interior with thoughtful storage
• V2L charging output useful for real situations

Cons

• Driver seat has limited reach adjustment compared to passenger side
• Regenerative braking calibration takes tuning to feel natural
• Steering at sport mode still lacks feedback for keen drivers
• Not ideal if you want a true performance SUV
• DC charging speed of 87 kW is modest by modern standards
• Interior color scheme can feel busy

Value for Money

You get a practical, well-equipped family SUV with genuine tech features that add real value to daily ownership. The build quality and feature set punch above what you'd expect for a car at this segment level.

Verdict

The S07 is best suited to buyers who want a comfortable, capable family vehicle with modern tech and genuine road-trip ability—not to someone chasing thrilling performance. It delivered exactly what it promised over our 70 km journey.

Driving Experience

The suspension feels noticeably firmer and more controlled than before—no more head-tossing or excessive body roll. Everyday driving is composed and planted; the car doesn't get nervous even when you push it moderately hard.

Pros

• Suspension tuning is vastly improved and well-suited to Thai roads
• Spacious interior with plenty of storage and comfortable rear seating
• Fast-charging battery now 167kW, up from 87kW
• Full suite of safety and driver assistance features standard
• Clean, straightforward infotainment system
• Generous touchscreen with useful functions
• Practical panoramic roof with powered sunshade

Cons

• Warranty coverage reduced from 8 years to 5 years on the vehicle
• Battery warranty cut from 8 years to 8 years but with lower mileage cap
• Oversteer tendency still present at high speeds over 130 km/h
• Doesn't have four-wheel steering like some rivals
• Interior color scheme is quite orange-toned, may not suit all tastes
• USB-C charging only one port in rear, not two

Value for Money

For the money, you're getting a well-equipped, spacious family SUV with now-competitive handling that suits Thai road conditions. The price reduction of 300,000 baht brings genuine value, though the warranty cuts offset some of that gain compared to the old model.

Verdict

This is the S07 that should have shipped from the factory years ago. Chinese brands are clearly listening to market feedback, and if you want a roomy, practical electric SUV with recently-sorted dynamics at an accessible price, this is worth your serious attention.

Driving Experience

This thing handles noticeably tighter and more composed than the old model—the suspension tuning is noticeably firmer now, almost European-leaning, and you feel the road feedback clearly. Honestly, the steering and braking response feel genuinely refined for the price point.

Pros

• Battery charges in 15 minutes from 30-80% versus 35 minutes before
• Suspension tuned for better handling and road feel
• Spacious interior with excellent storage solutions
• 14-speaker sound system is decent for the segment
• Flat floors and high seating position make entry easy
• Panoramic sunroof with electric shade included

Cons

• Front seat padding feels slightly firm, not perfectly comfortable for all body types
• Road noise from tires and pavement comes through more than ideal
• Charging time spec claims appear optimistic in real testing
• Warranty reduced from 8 years to 5 years on the car
• Rear air vents limited to single outlet—back passengers fight for airflow
• All climate and drive mode settings buried in touchscreen, resets on startup
• Door handles are electronic only with no manual override accessible

Value for Money

You're getting a well-equipped mid-size electric SUV with strong charging speed, good interior materials, and genuinely improved dynamics—the feature set is honest and generous. For the money, it punches above its weight against rivals, though the shorter warranty does sting a bit.

Verdict

This is a solid, functional electric SUV that actually deserves consideration now that Deepal has sorted the driving experience. If you can live with the warranty trade-off and don't mind road noise, it's genuinely worth a look.
