Price Breakdown
The Deepal E07 starts from $64,900 before on-road costs, while the Toyota bZ4X opens at $59,990. That makes the Toyota bZ4X the more affordable entry point by $4,910.
Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $71,390 and $65,989 respectively.
