Changan Pakistan has officially introduced the Deepal S05, marking a historic milestone as Pakistan’s first locally assembled CKD Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV).
The groundbreaking model will make its debut at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2025, scheduled from November 14 to 16, 2025, at the Karachi Expo Center, Hall 4.
This launch signifies a transformative moment in Pakistan’s automotive industry, as the country steps into a new era of sustainable and technologically advanced mobility.
A Revolutionary Entry in the C-Segment SUV Category
The Deepal S05 is positioned in the competitive C-segment SUV category, introducing a new standard of innovation and practicality.
It represents a seamless combination of electric mobility and extended range efficiency, designed to meet the driving demands of Pakistani consumers.
As Pakistan’s first REEV, the locally assembled Deepal S05 reflects Changan’s commitment to local manufacturing and the introduction of advanced electrified technologies suited to local infrastructure and road conditions.
Award-Winning Exterior Design
The Deepal S05’s design credentials are world-class. Crafted under the direction of Klaus Zyciora, the former Head of Design at Volkswagen Group, the vehicle’s exterior has been recognized globally with the prestigious iF Design Award.
Built on a dedicated EV-first platform, the SUV features the widest body and longest wheelbase in its segment, ensuring an impressive road presence and enhanced stability.
The sleek aerodynamic contours, bold front fascia, and striking LED lighting signature highlight its futuristic aesthetic and distinguish it from conventional hybrid and fuel-based SUVs in the market.
Modern, Spacious, and Technology-Oriented Interior
Inside, the Deepal S05 offers an expansive and refined environment. The wide body and extended wheelbase create generous cabin space, providing class-leading legroom and headroom.
The interior reflects Changan’s modern design philosophy, merging comfort with innovation.
A fully digital cockpit, advanced connectivity options, and premium-quality materials contribute to a sophisticated and user-friendly driving experience.
The minimalist yet tech-focused design ensures that every element serves both form and function.
Efficient Performance with Extended Range Capability
At the core of the Deepal S05 is its advanced REEV system, a key differentiator in the market.
Unlike traditional hybrid systems, the electric motors directly power the wheels, while the petrol engine functions solely as a generator to recharge the battery.
This intelligent configuration enables a remarkable driving range of over 1,000 kilometers, effectively addressing range anxiety and making it ideal for Pakistan’s road network and evolving charging infrastructure.
A New Chapter for Pakistan’s Automotive Industry
With the introduction of the Deepal S05, Changan Pakistan takes a bold step toward sustainable and locally integrated automotive production.
This launch not only emphasizes technological innovation but also strengthens Pakistan’s position in the global shift toward cleaner and more efficient mobility solutions.
Visitors can experience the Deepal S05 firsthand at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2025, from 14th to 16th November 2025, at the Karachi Expo Center, Hall 4.
