Range-extending Deepal S05 revealed ahead of November launch
S05 represents a departure for the until now electric-only Deepal brand.
Changan's Deepal S05, set to launch in November, is a range-extending variation of the S07 EV, unveiled at the Kyalami Festival of Motoring. The S05 platform shares similarities with the S07, and the S05 is only expected as a single variant upon release. Dimensionally, the S05 measures 4,620mm in length, 2,880mm in wheelbase, 1,600mm in height, and 1,900mm in width, making it shorter, narrower, and lower than its S07 counterpart.
Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, micro-fibre seats, wireless charging, and a 15.4-inch infotainment system. Driving modes range from Eco to Custom, and safety aids comprise advanced driver-assistance systems. The S05's 27.2 kWh battery powers a single rear-axle electric motor delivering 160kW/320Nm, while a 1.5-liter petrol engine contributes 72kW/125Nm.
The vehicle boasts an electric range of 200km and a combined range of 1,000km. Pricing will be competitive, featuring a five-year/150,000km warranty, a five-year/90,000km maintenance plan, and an eight-year/195,000km battery warranty. The official launch is slated for two months from now.
