A Chinese carmaker, Changan, known for its partnership with Mazda, has been testing an electric SUV in Australia to rival the Tesla Model Y. The Deepal S07, based on the same platform as the Mazda EZ-6, offers an all-electric powertrain or a range-extender plug-in hybrid. With a 160kW electric motor, 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels, and a sunroof, the S07 aims to compete in the midsize electric SUV segment. Potential competitors include models from Kia, Cupra, Xpeng, Skywell, Aion, Volkswagen, and Skoda. The Mazda version, known as the EZ-60, is expected to debut in 2025, further expanding the segment.
