Although the S05 is the 'junior' model in Deepal's local lineup, the SUV's better equipment makes it the more compelling proposition.
First previewed at the 2026 SG Motor Show, the Deepal S05 is Changan's latest local offering that comes with Cat A COE and 485km of range.
The ceremony included a kick-off by members from both sides, before the waving of a departure flag commences Changan's long distance European test drive.
Deepal's local lineup is set to expand once the S05, a compact-to-mid-sized electric SUV, is homologated. The model is set to enter the Cat A COE market.
Changan's first international NEV production base in Rayong, Thailand has launched production, with its annual capacity expected to double by 2027.
Ready to do battle against other compact electric SUVs, the S05 marks a spacious, stylish and right-sized entry point to the Deepal range.
