Get ready for a fresh take on electric vehicles in Australia. The Deepal E07 is about to hit the scene. This oddball SUV-ute hybrid could shake up how we think about those categories. Check out the trends in the EV market while you're at it.
Arriving Down Under
The first shipment of Deepal E07s is almost here. They'll land in Australian showrooms soon. That old SUV and ute market? It's been stale for too long. Deepal Australia boss Cormac Cafolla confirmed the cars are built and shipping now.
“We’re thrilled to see these innovative vehicles prepped and ready for their first customer handovers scheduled for late August or early September,” Cafolla said on the Deepal Owners Australia Facebook group. Buzz is building. The next batch isn't far behind.
A Look at the Deepal E07's Features
Deepal calls the E07 the “Multitruck.” It mixes coupe SUV flair with ute utility. The standout? A retractable rear roof that turns the back into a proper load bay for daily hauls. Hit a button. The glass drops behind the seats. Rear benches slide forward. Boom—more space for gear, groceries, whatever.
Design and Dimensions
Deepal pulled ideas from older concepts, like the GMC Envoy XUV with its own sliding roof. Nothing like this sits on Aussie lots right now. That's what makes the E07 stand out. It could flip the script.

Powertrain Options
Australia skips the petrol version you get in China. Here, it's pure EV. The base rear-wheel drive model starts at $64,900 before on-roads. A 252kW motor pushes it along with a 642km range on the NEDC test.
Want punch? Go dual-motor AWD for $73,900 before costs. It cranks out 440kW and 645Nm. Zero to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. Range dips a bit to 626km, but that's still solid.
Batteries and Charging
Every E07 packs an 89.98kWh NMC battery. The 800V setup handles DC fast charging up to 240kW. It can even power stuff outside—vehicle-to-load at 6.6kW. Handy for campsites or worksites.
High-End Features and Safety
The E07 lineup doesn't skimp. Air suspension with damping control smooths the ride. A 15.4-inch screen rotates for infotainment. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto hook right up—see more on in-car safety. Front seats adjust 14 ways, with heat, vents, massage, memory. Rear bench? Electric recline, heated, ventilated. Add 256-color lights, head-up display, self-parking, cameras all around, and a built-in dashcam. Rest modes and camping setups round it out, plus full active safety tech.
