Sleek Design and Roomy Interior
The 2026 Deepal L07 keeps the head-turning looks of its 2025 predecessor. Its aerodynamic shape, highlighted by an impressive drag coefficient of 0.215 Cd, isn’t just for show. Sharp headlights, frameless doors, and cleverly hidden door handles give it a polished, modern feel. The rear isn’t an afterthought either, featuring an electric automatic spoiler and a striking 1.2-meter “Super Red” taillight that stretches across the back, made up of 136 individual LED units. Available in five exterior paint options—blue, green, white, gray, and black—there’s a shade for every taste.
As a mid-size sedan, the L07 offers a comfortable and spacious cabin. It measures 4875/1890/1480 mm (length/width/height) and rides on a generous 2900 mm wheelbase. The trunk provides a respectable 473 liters of storage, which expands to a cavernous 1,180 liters with the rear seats folded down, perfect for daily errands or longer trips.
Huawei’s ADAS Takes the Wheel
One of the biggest draws of the 2026 Deepal L07 is the standard inclusion of Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 4.0 SE advanced driving assistance system. This isn’t pie-in-the-sky tech, it’s real-world capability. The system uses three millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 10 cameras to offer 21 active safety functions. Think parking assist that takes the stress out of tight spots and highway & urban lane center control that keeps you smoothly on track. It’s an impressive suite that adds a layer of confidence and ease to your drive.
Performance: Electric Power, Extended Range
Both BEV and EREV versions of the L07 are rear-wheel drive, putting power where it counts. The BEV models come with a robust 200 kW (268 hp) and 290 Nm electric motor. You get to choose between a 56.12 kWh or 68.82 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, offering a CLTC cruising range of 550 km or 660 km respectively. For those who need a bit more flexibility, the EREV variant couples a 1.5L range extender engine with a 175 kW (235 hp) and 290 Nm electric motor. It features a 28.39 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, yielding a 240 km CLTC pure electric range, and an impressive 1,500 km CLTC comprehensive range.
Compared to the 2025 Deepal L07 BEV, which had a 185 kW (248 hp) motor and a 530 km CLTC range, the 2026 model offers a noticeable bump in power and range, a welcome upgrade that enhances the driving experience. Plus, fast charging lets you replenish the battery from 30% to 80% in just 15 minutes, cutting down on wait times and getting you back on the road quicker.
A Cockpit That Connects and Controls
The interior of the L07 is where technology truly shines. The driver gets a vivid 55-inch AR-HUD, projecting crucial information right into their line of sight. Front and center is a crisp 15.6-inch 2.5K central control screen. This display can even rotate 15 degrees, depending on the trim, a neat touch that brings a personalized flair. The redesigned three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel feels sporty and modern in your hands.
Powering this digital hub is the upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip, a significant jump from the previous 8155. This chip drives the Deepal OS 4.0, which includes a built-in AI assistant. Expect fluid performance and intelligent interactions. Rear passengers aren’t left out either, with a control screen behind the center console for climate and seat adjustments, and even touch screens on the back of the front seats for added entertainment and convenience. The 2026 Deepal L07 really delivers on the promise of a tech-forward, comfortable, and performance-driven electric sedan at an accessible price point, making it a compelling option in today’s EV market.
