Changan Automobile has confirmed that the Deepal S05 compact electric SUV will arrive in the UK by the end of 2025, expanding its Deepal line‑up alongside the recently introduced Deepal S07. The S05 joins Changan’s broader European push with fully electric and range‑extended powertrains tailored to local market expectations. The announcement comes as part of the brand’s strategy to grow its presence in the competitive UK and European EV market.

Designed as a futuristic all‑electric crossover, the Deepal S05 features sleek styling with frameless windows, hidden door handles, and aerodynamic design that helps give it a low drag coefficient of just 0.25 Cd. In Europe the S05 is available with a choice of rear‑wheel‑drive configurations delivering up to around 485 km of WLTP range and fast‑charging capability. Inside, the SUV highlights modern tech including a 15.4‑inch central touchscreen, AR‑HUD, and intelligent connectivity powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chipset.

The Deepal S05’s UK launch will build on Changan’s efforts to establish a retail network across the country, with dealers and showrooms gearing up to introduce the model to British customers. As part of an expanding European roll‑out that has already seen deliveries begin in markets like Germany and Norway, the S05 is positioned as a stylish, technology‑rich electric SUV choice for buyers seeking advanced design and EV practicality.
