Quick Summary: The Changan Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV made its European debut at Auto Athina 2026 in Greece, with Greek-market pricing starting at €36,000 (about $40,280). It is reported to have a 190 kW (254 hp) rear electric motor, up to 100 km of electric range and about 1,000 km of combined range. Its 1.5-litre petrol engine reportedly acts only as a generator.
Changan has unveiled the Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV at Auto Athina 2026, its first European showing. The Greek-market price starts at €36,000, with a higher trim at €39,000 (about $43,610).
The SUV is reported to produce 254 hp, travel up to 100 km on electric power and cover about 1,000 km in total. What makes it unusual is the reported powertrain layout. The petrol engine does not mechanically drive the wheels, so on the road the car should behave much like an electric vehicle with an onboard generator.
It joins the battery-electric Deepal S07, which Changan already sells in several markets.
Changan Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV Europe Debut: What Happened at Auto Athina 2026?
The S07 Ultra PHEV was shown at Auto Athina 2026 in Greece, where Greek pricing was also announced. According to launch information, buyers who order during the exhibition receive a €1,000 (about $1,120) discount.
The exterior follows the existing S07 design, with its own bumpers and blackened, semi-hidden door handles.
Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV Price in Greece: How Much Does It Cost?
| Version | Greek-market price | Approx. USD |
| Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV (starting trim) | €36,000 | $40,280 |
| Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV (higher trim) | €39,000 | $43,610 |
| Auto Athina 2026 order discount | €1,000 off | $1,120 off |
These are Greek-market prices announced around the European debut. Pricing for other European countries has not been confirmed.
What Makes the S07 Ultra PHEV Different From a Conventional PHEV?
Changan markets the S07 Ultra PHEV as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). In a conventional PHEV, the petrol engine can usually help drive the wheels.
In this car, the reported powertrain uses the 1.5-litre petrol engine as a generator rather than mechanically driving the wheels. The rear electric motor provides the vehicle’s propulsion.
That generator-only arrangement is characteristic of a range-extender electric vehicle (EREV), although Changan’s market designation for this European version is PHEV.
Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV Specifications: Powertrain, Battery and Charging
| Specification | Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV |
| Powertrain | PHEV; petrol engine reportedly operates as a generator |
| Petrol engine | 1.5-litre |
| Engine output | 70 kW (94 hp), reported generator role |
| Electric motor | Rear axle |
| Motor output | 190 kW (254 hp) |
| Battery chemistry | LFP |
| Battery capacity | About 18.4 kWh |
| Electric range | Up to 100 km |
| Combined range | About 1,000 km |
| 0-100 km/h | 7.9 seconds, reported |
| Top speed | 185 km/h, reported |
| DC charging | Up to 55 kW |
| Dimensions (L x W x H) | 4,750 x 1,930 x 1,625 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,900 mm |
| CO2 emissions | 49 g/km, claimed |
| Starting price in Greece | €36,000 |
The 190 kW (254 hp) figure refers to the rear electric motor’s reported maximum output. It should not be added directly to the petrol engine’s 70 kW rating to produce a total system-output figure.
Can the Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV Really Travel 1,000 km?
The reported combined range is about 1,000 km. That figure includes the petrol-generator system, so it assumes the car is refuelled as well as charged.
The up to 100 km figure is the electric-only driving range. The test cycle behind either number has not been specified, so neither should be read as a certified WLTP figure.
Real-world range will vary with speed, temperature, driving style, payload and road conditions.
254 hp and 7.9 Seconds: How Quick Is the Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV?
The S07 Ultra PHEV is reported to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 185 km/h. These are reported specifications, not independently tested results.
49 g/km CO2: What Does the Claimed Company-Car Tax Benefit Actually Mean?
Changan quotes CO2 emissions of 49 g/km and says this results in zero company-car tax for corporate use in the relevant Greek context.
This is a claim associated with the Greek launch and should not be interpreted as a Europe-wide tax entitlement. Company-car taxation varies between countries and may depend on local tax rules, vehicle classification, list price and applicable tax bands.
Fleet buyers should check the treatment in their own market.
How Big Is the Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV Compared With the BMW X3?
| Dimension | Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV |
| Length | 4,750 mm |
| Width | 1,930 mm |
| Height | 1,625 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,900 mm |
These match the dimensions listed by Changan UK for the battery-electric S07. For scale, the S07 is 5 mm shorter than the current BMW X3 (G45). That makes the BMW a useful size reference in the mid-size SUV class, though it does not make the two direct rivals.
Will the Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV Launch in the UK or India?
Neither launch has been confirmed. The debut took place in Greece, and only Greek pricing has been announced.
Availability and pricing in other European countries have not been confirmed. Changan’s current UK model information lists the battery-electric S07, while UK availability and pricing for the PHEV have not been announced.
An Indian launch has not been announced.
Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV vs Battery-Electric S07: What Is the Real Difference?
| Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV | Deepal S07 BEV (UK-market specification, Changan UK) | |
| Battery | About 18.4 kWh LFP | 79.97 kWh NCM |
| Electric range | Up to 100 km | 295 miles (about 475 km) WLTP |
| Motor power | 190 kW (254 hp) | 160 kW |
| Drive | Rear motor | Rear-wheel drive |
| AC charging | Not stated | 11 kW |
| Extra range source | Petrol generator | None |
The BEV figures are the UK-market S07 specification published by Changan UK and may not apply to every market.
The PHEV carries a much smaller battery and relies on its reported petrol generator for long trips. The BEV has a far larger battery and a longer certified electric range, but no fuel backup. Specifications for either version may differ by market.
