In a result that will send shockwaves through the established automotive order, Changan's Deepal S07 has been awarded a 5-Star safety rating by Euro NCAP, the world's most stringent and respected vehicle safety authority. The result is a powerful statement, proving that the new wave of Chinese electric vehicles are not just competing on price and technology, but on the fundamental principle of passenger safety.
The Deepal S07's performance was nothing short of exceptional. It achieved an outstanding 95% score for Adult Occupant Protection, with Euro NCAP noting the stable integrity of the passenger cell in frontal crash tests and maximum points being awarded in the severe side-impact tests. This is a vehicle engineered to protect its occupants when the worst happens.
Families will also be reassured by the 87% score for Child Occupant Protection, with the S07 providing excellent protection for both six- and ten-year-old child dummies. It's a clear indication that this is a vehicle designed with the real world in mind.
But it's not just about passive safety. The Deepal S07 also comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems as standard, including autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, and intelligent speed assistance. These systems work in harmony to help prevent accidents from happening in the first place, earning the S07 a solid 71% in the Safety Assist category.
For the South African market, where the Changan brand is rapidly gaining traction, the Deepal S07's 5-Star Euro NCAP rating is a game-changer. It provides independent, irrefutable proof that this is a vehicle that can be trusted to protect your most precious cargo. In a market where value is increasingly important, the Deepal S07 proves that you don't have to compromise on safety to get a technologically advanced, and desirable electric SUV.
