Changan Shen lan S7 - Deepal S7.Tesla rival for half the price.

Deepal S7 2024 also known as Shenlan EV brand which is a joint project between Changan, battery maker CATL, and technology giant Huawei. The brand is positioned above the base Changan brand and below the Avatr brand.The S7 stands on 20-inch wheels with brake calipers painted in body color. Size is 4750/1930/1625 with a 2900 wheelbase.
EV. 258 hp and 320 Nm. The top speed is 180 km/h. Electricity consumption is 14.2 kWh per 100 kilometers. The curb weight is 1950 kg. Range and battery capacity haven’t been announced yet.

The interior is a beauty, especially in this orange-brown trim. The S7 has a HUD and a central screen for infotainment. This differs from the SL03 sedan, which has an additional letter-box instrument panel. There isn’t a single button in sight on the dashboard and center stack.
The steering wheel has an interesting design, with two spokes, two small controller buttons, and a flat bottom.
The drive selector is mounted on the steering wheel column. We see that a lot in China recently, on both ICE and NEV cars.
The Shenlan S7 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip to make all the sensors and computers work. The system supports OTA upgrades.
Two large wireless charging pads for smartphones.
Frameless doors. The conventional inner door handle design has been canceled, and a new electronic button design has been adopted. Just press the button and the door will open or close electronically.
Lots of space in the rear with an almost-flat floor. The headrests of the front seats contain integrated speakers for the audio system. This, again, is a recent design trend. Many Chinese automakers are building speakers in headrests. Some even have noise cancellation, so that the driver can listen to navigation instructions while the passengers can enjoy music.
Pop-out door handles and a sensor on the front fender. The Shenlan S7 doesn’t have lidar.
The rear with a black spoiler above the window, with a brake light in the middle. Below the window a car-wide light bar, and in the bumper an F1-style fog light.
It will be launched on the Chinese car market soon thereafter. The price is expected to start around 160,000 RMB (23,600 USD).
A long nose with cool blades on the sites. The EV version should have a sizable trunk.
