About Changan cars

Changan Automobile is a new brand entering the UK. It won’t be familiar with UK buyers, but it’s one of China’s largest car manufacturers, and has been around for more than 40 years. It operates joint ventures with Ford and Mazda in China and even has an R&D centre in Birmingham.

Changan operates several sub-brands but Deepal is so far the only one confirmed to be coming to the UK market. It’ll enter with a pair of fully-electric SUVs, the S07 and the smaller S05. There have also been suggestions that the E07 electric pickup truck may come too.

Deepal sold nearly a quarter of a million electric cars in 2024, so it’s well placed to expand into other markets.

A spare parts hub has been set up in the Netherlands that should mean maintenance isn’t an issue, but the dealer network is so far quite spotty.

What our car expert says

“Changan’s new electric SUVs look okay but there’s not really anything stand-out about them, in price or spec terms. Once I’ve driven the cars I’ll be able to give you my proper verdict”

Changan cars FAQs

Yes, Changan’s first cars are already being sold in the UK. Its first models are the Deepal S07 and Deepal S05 electric SUVs. 
Deepal looks to be more premium than luxury - its vehicles undercut the European opposition by a few thousand pounds but don’t look notably posh or luxurious.
Changan is one of China’s state-owned automotive companies, with the Chinese government holding a controlling stake. It does, however, have partnerships with other automotive manufacturers, notably Ford and Mazda. 
Prices for the Deepal S07 start at £39,995, around £5,000 less than the Tesla Model Y. It’s around the same size as the Tesla though doesn’t have as great a range or charging speed.
