Changan has officially launched the Changan Deepal S07, its first all-electric SUV for the UK market.
Designed at Changan’s European design centre in Turin, home to over 300 designers, and tuned at Changan’s UK R&D centre in Birmingham, Changan says the Deepal S07 ‘combines European styling, advanced EV technology, and British engineering expertise to deliver a stylish, high-quality, zero emissions SUV’.
There is a claimed up-to-295 miles (WLTP) range, from a 160-kW electric motor.
Available immediately at GBP39,990, the Deepal S07 launches with 20 Changan dealerships, including a flagship site at Lookers Star City, Birmingham (the UK’s second largest city).
Changan hopes to grow its retail network to 50 sites nationwide by the end of 2025, supported by a UK parts hub and dedicated aftersales network.
Changan’s R&D facility in Birmingham, home to 100 engineers, has tested, validated, and tuned the Deepal S07 for UK roads and regulations.
Nic Thomas, Managing Director of Changan UK, said: “The Changan Deepal S07 is designed to make electric driving accessible, enjoyable, and practical for UK consumers. It combines sleek design, intuitive technology designed around the customer, and real-world range with a price point that makes sense. We believe it will truly resonate with British drivers looking for a high-quality EV without compromise.”
Klaus Zyciora, Vice President, Global Head of Changan Design, said: “With the Changan Deepal S07 we wanted to create a vehicle that is timeless, confident, and unmistakably modern. Its sculpted surfaces, bold proportions, and refined detailing reflect the sophistication European drivers expect. The result is a car that balances dynamic SUV strength with elegant design flair.”
Changan says charging flexibility is built in, with DC fast charging allowing the battery to be replenished from 10 to 80 percent in just 48 minutes.
