The Deepal E07 is a large SUV (similar in size to a Ford Ranger ) that doubles as a pick-up truck.

The car was being showcased at Everything Electric Sydney , the city’s biggest EV and electrification show, and it was one of the most interesting things on display.

In many ways, it feels like a slightly more realistic Cybertruck , but in a different way to the Telo MT1 .

It lacks the ugly rhombus-like design and goes for a more traditional aesthetic, mixed with a luxury interior that feels especially premium compared to other cars.

The Deepal EO7 is a big car but it doesn't feel big.

It feels nimble and reactive, and there isn’t any sluggishness on the road.

The car has a feature called Sentry Mode ’ a name used by Tesla with an identical purpose in its vehicles.
