The JMEV GSE Elight EV is set to compete head-on with the Deepal L07, as both models feature electric powertrains housed within sleek sedan bodies.

In terms of pricing, the Elight takes the lead with a significantly lower price tag.

However, the L07 justifies its higher cost by offering advanced safety features like an ADAS system, additional airbags, and a prestigious 5-Star ENCAP rating, compared to the Elight’s 4-Star rating.

These enhanced safety features make the L07 a more appealing choice for buyers prioritizing security and technology.

However, the Elight remains a strong contender, delivering comparable performance numbers, a solid range of features, and an attractive price point that makes owning an electric sedan more accessible.
