Deepal S07 Huawei Qiankun LiDAR EREV Launches at RMB 154,900 Promo Price

At the 2026 Chongqing Auto Show on June 13, Changan’s electric brand Deepal officially launched the Deepal S07 Huawei Qiankun LiDAR Edition Range-Extender (EREV), expanding the model’s lineup with three trims priced from RMB 159,900 to RMB 176,900 (USD 22,100–USD 24,400). With the launch promo running through July 31, customers can drive home the entry-level trim at a limited-time price of just RMB 154,900 (about USD 21,400), marking the most affordable Huawei Qiankun ADS-equipped EREV available in China.

The S07 is the first Deepal model to integrate a roof-mounted LiDAR + Huawei Qiankun ADS 3.0 stack on the EREV powertrain (previously the LiDAR was reserved for the BEV variant). It joins a growing wave of Chinese mid-size SUVs trying to bring “China-level autonomous-driving” tech down into the RMB 150,000 segment, a trend we’ve also tracked through Leapmotor’s recent C-series refresh in our Leapmotor C-series 2026 facelift report piece.

Pricing and Trim Walk

Trim	List Price (RMB)	Promo Price (RMB)	USD Equivalent (Promo)
S07 Qiankun LiDAR EREV — Standard	159,900	154,900	~USD 21,400
S07 Qiankun LiDAR EREV — Pro	169,900	164,900	~USD 22,700
S07 Qiankun LiDAR EREV — Max	176,900	171,900	~USD 23,700

All three trims share the same Huawei roof-mounted 192-line LiDAR, dual NVIDIA-class compute, and a tri-screen cockpit running on Changan’s CD-Cockpit OS with Huawei HiCar Wireless integration.

Powertrain and Range

The EREV powertrain pairs a Changan Blue Core 1.5L NA range-extender with a 28.4 kWh BYD Blade-format LFP battery and a 175 kW front e-motor. CLTC ratings:

• Pure-electric range: 200 km (CLTC)
• Combined range: 1,200 km (CLTC) on a full tank + full battery
• Charging: 30%–80% in 27 min on a 60 kW DC fast charger
• 0–100 km/h: 7.5 s

Huawei Qiankun ADS 3.0: What’s Included

This is the critical differentiator versus the standard Deepal S07 EREV (which retains a vision + 4D mmWave radar setup). The Qiankun edition adds:

• 1× roof-mounted 192-line LiDAR
• 4× short-range solid-state LiDARs at the corners (newly added in MY2026)
• 11× HD cameras + 12× ultrasonic + 5× mmWave radar
• Huawei Qiankun ADS 3.0 SAE L2++ urban NCA (Navigate-on-City), highway NCA, valet parking
• OTA roadmap to ADS 4.0 by Q4 2026 — adds rural road autonomy and predictive cyclist intent

The Qiankun ADS sensor stack is identical to that on the AITO M7 Ultra and Luxeed R7, both of which retail north of RMB 250,000. Bringing this hardware down to a sub-RMB 160K window represents a significant cost-down win for Huawei’s ADS team — a direct outcome of the deeper Chery + Yinwang partnership we covered in our Chery + Huawei Yinwang L3/L4 partnership analysis (the same Yinwang stack now licenses to Changan-Deepal under the broader HIMA-style cooperation framework).

Why This Trim Matters for Chinese EV Strategy

Three takeaways for international observers:

1. EREV is winning the mid-size SUV cost war: with no charging anxiety and a 1,200 km combined range, the S07 EREV directly attacks plug-in hybrid TCO economics in tier-3 cities.
2. Huawei ADS commoditization: when a roof LiDAR + 192-line system arrives at RMB 154,900, Tesla’s FSD value proposition (currently RMB 64,000 add-on subscription model) faces real margin compression in China.
3. Deepal volume growth: Deepal sold roughly 19,000 units in May 2026 across S07/S05/L07 lines; the Qiankun edition could push monthly volume past 25,000.

Cabin and Comfort

Inside, the S07 Qiankun trim adds quilted Nappa-style seats with massage function on the Pro/Max trims, a 50W magnetic phone wireless charger, and 256-zone ambient lighting. Trunk capacity remains 445 L (1,345 L seats folded). The overall cabin layout retains the prior MY S07’s “minimalist tri-screen” approach: a 14.6-inch center touchscreen, 12.3-inch driver display, and 12.3-inch front passenger display.

Color and Wheel Options

Six exterior colors offered (including the signature “Galaxy Blue” matte finish, an RMB 4,000 option). Wheels: 19-inch standard, 20-inch optional on Max trim with aero blades.

FAQ

What is the cheapest Huawei Qiankun ADS-equipped car in China?

As of June 13, 2026, the Deepal S07 Qiankun LiDAR EREV at RMB 154,900 promo (USD ~21,400) is the most affordable production vehicle in China equipped with the Huawei Qiankun ADS LiDAR stack.

What is the difference between the standard Deepal S07 and the Huawei Qiankun edition?

The Qiankun edition adds a roof-mounted 192-line LiDAR, 4× short-range corner LiDARs, Huawei ADS 3.0 software (urban NCA, highway NCA, valet park), and OTA upgrade path to ADS 4.0. The standard S07 EREV uses vision + 4D mmWave only.

What is the EV range of the Deepal S07 Qiankun LiDAR EREV?

200 km of pure-electric range and approximately 1,200 km combined (battery + range-extender) on the CLTC cycle.

When does the Deepal S07 Qiankun edition launch promo end?

The launch promo runs through July 31, 2026, after which list prices return to RMB 159,900–176,900 across the three trims.

Editor’s note: The Deepal S07 Qiankun LiDAR EREV is a structurally important launch — it puts Huawei ADS into the sub-RMB 160K mass market, which historically was dominated by traditional ICE/PHEV mid-size SUVs. International observers should treat this as further proof that China’s ADAS hardware cost curve is descending faster than the consensus 2024 forecast suggested.
