Changan to Begin Local Assembly of Deepal S05 Hybrid SUV

Deepal S07

Master Changan Motors Limited (MCML) is preparing to expand its hybrid lineup in Pakistan with the local assembly of the Deepal S05, a cutting-edge range-extended hybrid electric SUV, starting in November 2025.

The move marks a major milestone for the company as it continues to strengthen its presence in the fast-growing C-segment SUV market.

Over 1000 km Driving Range

The Deepal S05 promises an advanced hybrid driving experience where electric motors power the wheels while a combustion engine recharges the battery, significantly extending the driving range. This innovative powertrain offers over 1000 km on a single tank and charge, blending the best of electric efficiency and traditional fuel reliability — a major advantage for Pakistani drivers seeking both economy and range.

EV-First Platform With Class-Leading Space

Built on an EV-first platform, the S05 boasts the longest wheelbase and widest body among locally available C-segment SUVs. This engineering translates into the largest cabin space in its class, making it ideal for families and long-distance travel. The SUV is already available in global markets under the Deepal brand and has received positive reviews for its spacious interior and refined ride quality.

Award-Winning Design and Global Appeal

The Deepal S05’s exterior was crafted by Klaus Zyciora, a former Volkswagen Group design chief, and its bold styling earned it the prestigious iF Design Award — highlighting its status as one of the most innovative SUVs worldwide.

Changan’s Growing Presence in Pakistan

Since entering the Pakistani market six years ago, MCML has sold over 65,000 vehicles nationwide. In 2024, the company launched the Deepal S07 SUV and L07 sedan, strengthening its position in the new energy vehicle segment. Impressively, Changan became the 3rd most-sold car brand in Pakistan in August 2025.

With the introduction of the Deepal S05 in 2025, MCML aims to redefine the hybrid SUV landscape, offering Pakistani consumers a blend of futuristic technology, exceptional range, and class-leading comfort.
