Who would have thought that Changan and Huawei would join forces to create an electric sedan that promises to transform everyday driving into a high-tech experience of the future? Introducing the Deepal L07, a stylish and smart vehicle that comes in pure electric and extended electric variants. We often see collaborations in the automotive world, but rarely do we see a partnership that combines automotive tradition and technological future in such a sophisticated way as the Deepal L07 did. The result of a joint effort between Changana and Huawei, the L07 is a perfect combination of elegant design and advanced intelligent systems.
The Deepal L07 is, without a doubt, the smarter cousin of the sporty Deepal SL03. Equipped with Huawei's advanced intelligent system, the L07 is the result of an agreement signed in November 2023 where Changan and Huawei joined forces to develop these systems. However, the introduction of the L07 brings some confusion, as the SL03 is currently marketed as the L07 in Thailand. There is speculation that Deepal may change its naming strategy, using “L0” for sedans and “S0” for SUVs. Despite this conundrum, Deepal CEO Deng Chenghao confirmed that the SL03 and L07 will co-exist on the market.

The electrically operated rear wing adds a touch of sportiness. At 4.87m long, 1.89m wide and 1.48m high, the L07 is slightly longer than the SL03, while the wheelbase remains unchanged at 2.9m. The weight of the vehicle varies between 1,865 kg and 1,880 kg, depending on the model.

The EREV version combines a 72kW 1.5-litre petrol engine with a 160kW electric motor, offering the best of both worlds: extended range and reduced emissions. Both versions use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs, a technology known for lower costs, durability and safety.
The L07's main selling point is its Huawei-powered smart technology. This includes advanced driver assistance features that promise to make driving safer and more enjoyable. Although official pricing has not yet been announced, the Deepal L07 is expected to be a strong contender in the electric sedan market as it combines intelligent technology, pleasing looks and a variety of powertrain options.

Deepal is a sub-brand of Changan, one of the oldest and largest Chinese car manufacturers. Changan, founded in 1862, initially produced weapons, before turning to the automotive industry in the 20th century. With over 60 years of automotive manufacturing experience and a strong presence in the Chinese market, Changan is now joining forces with tech giant Huawei to create vehicles that combine traditional quality with innovative technology. The Deepal L07 is a prime example of this collaboration, promising a bright future for the company's electric vehicles.
