Range
The Changan Deepal S7 520Pro boasts a range of 520 km (323 miles) on a single charge. This impressive figure outstrips the Hyundai Ioniq 5, which manages around 480 km (298 miles), and comes close to the Tesla Model Y, with its edge at 525 km (326 miles). The Ford Mustang Mach-E lags slightly at 483 km (300 miles) but remains competitive in this segment. Its clear that the Changan gives you ample mileage without breaking a sweat.
Acceleration
When it comes to acceleration, the Changan Deepal S7 520Pro darts from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.7 seconds. The Ford Mustang Mach-E performs slightly better, hitting the mark in 6.1 seconds, while the Hyundai Ioniq 5 does it in 5.2 seconds. The real speedster here is the Tesla Model Y, clocking in at a lightning-fast 3.7 seconds. While Changan may not pulverize the competition in this department, it still offers zippy and satisfactory acceleration for an SUV.
Power
Under the hood—or rather, under the floor—the Changan Deepal S7 520Pro packs 258 horsepower. Compare this to the Ford Mustang Mach-E with a range-topping 346 hp, or the Hyundai Ioniq 5 which comes with 225 hp. Tesla Model Y skyrockets with a whopping 384 hp in its performance variant. That said, Changans 258 hp is no slouch and places it firmly in the mid-range of this competitive pack.
Charging Time
Charging time is where things get sticky. The Changan Deepal S7 520Pros 67 kWh battery might keep you tethered to charging stations a little longer compared to the Tesla Model Y with its larger 75 kWh battery but better Supercharging network. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 boasts ultra-fast charging, reaching 80 percent in just 18 minutes. The Ford Mustang Mach-E is not far behind, filling up to 80 percent in approximately 45 minutes. So, if rapid charging is your heart’s desire, you might look elsewhere, but Changan still gets the job done respectably.
Price
The sticker shock can be the deal-breaker, but here the Changan Deepal S7 520Pro shines brightly at around $24,600 (approximately £19,000 or €22,000). It significantly undercuts the Tesla Model Y, which sets you back $48,000 (£37,000, €42,000), and the Ford Mustang Mach-E at around $43,000 (£33,000, €39,000). Hyundai Ioniq 5 comes in at about $41,000 (£31,000, €36,000).
So, the Changan Deepal S7 520Pro may not lead the pack in every category, but it’s very well-rounded and, crucially, doesn’t empty your wallet.
