Changan UK has launched the Deepal S05 electric C-SUV, priced from £37,990 with up to 303 miles of WLTP range.
The five-door model joins the brand’s expanding UK EV line-up and is available to order from March 1 through a dealer network set to grow to 60 sites by the end of Q1.
The Deepal S05 is offered in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, each in a single trim level.
Pricing is £37,990 for the RWD MAX and £39,990 for the AWD MAX.
Both variants use a 68.8kWh lithium iron phosphate battery.
The RWD version delivers a WLTP range of up to 303 miles, while the AWD offers up to 278 miles.
The RWD powertrain produces 200kW and 290Nm of torque, with 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds. The AWD adds an asynchronous front motor, taking output to 320kW and 502Nm, reducing the 0-62mph time to 5.5 seconds. Both have a top speed of 112mph.
DC rapid charging is supported at up to 200kW, enabling a 30 to 80% charge in 15 minutes. AC charging is available at up to 11kW. A vehicle-to-load function provides up to 6kW of external power.
