Johannesburg, South Africa – In today’s automotive landscape, where safety standards are under ever-increasing scrutiny, the Deepal S07 has emerged as a standout, earning a 5-Star Euro NCAP safety rating in its 2024 reassessment. For Changan, safety is not an afterthought—it is a fundamental design principle that builds trust, a legacy the company has been cultivating since 1862.
Exceptional Occupant Protection
The Deepal S07 excelled in Euro NCAP’s rigorous testing, achieving an impressive 95% for Adult Occupant Protection. Frontal offset tests confirmed the vehicle’s structural integrity, while side-impact evaluations awarded maximum points for side barrier and side pole performance—among the most demanding scenarios in modern vehicle safety assessments. Rear-impact tests also verified effective whiplash protection for front and rear passengers, with advanced post-crash safety measures like multi-collision braking helping prevent secondary impacts.
Family-Focused Safety
Safety extends beyond adult occupants. The Deepal S07 also scored 87% for Child Occupant Protection, demonstrating excellent protection for six- and ten-year-old child dummies in frontal and side collisions. Euro NCAP recognised its full ISOFIX layout, airbag status indicators, and compatibility with a broad range of child restraints, confirming the vehicle’s suitability for families.
Protecting the Vulnerable
Modern safety is about more than just occupants. The Deepal S07 achieved 74% in Vulnerable Road User Protection, with autonomous emergency braking systems effectively detecting pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Cyclist and motorcyclist mitigation performance was particularly strong, reflecting Changan’s commitment to comprehensive safety in real-world traffic conditions.
Advanced Driver Assistance as Standard
The S07’s safety credentials are complemented by a full suite of advanced driver assistance systems, contributing to a 71% Safety Assist score. Standard features include autonomous emergency braking for car-to-car scenarios, lane keep assist, emergency lane keeping, intelligent speed assistance, and driver status monitoring. Euro NCAP noted these systems performed well across everyday driving situations, highlighting the S07’s focus on practical, preventative safety.
Built on Engineering Integrity
Changan’s Deepal S07 proves that safety can be achieved without compromise. The vehicle’s 5-Star Euro NCAP rating provides independent validation that its design protects what matters most: lives, families, and the confidence of drivers on the road. In a world where trust and long-term reliability are paramount, the Deepal S07 sets a new benchmark in automotive safety.
