Changan UK opens orders for Deepal S05 Ultra PHEV

Italian-designed Deepal S05 Ultra plug‑in hybrid, with a base price of £32,990 and a top‑trim price of £34,990. The model pairs a 1.5‑litre, four‑cylinder petrol engine with a 172‑kW electric motor for a total system output of 190 kW, and delivers 0‑62 mph in 7.9 seconds. An 18.4‑kWh lithium‑iron‑phosphate battery gives up to 62 miles of pure‑electric range, while the combined WLTP range exceeds 648 miles. The car’s design, created at Changan’s Turin design centre, won a German iF Design Award in 2025 and features a 0.29 Cd drag coefficient, frameless doors and flush handles. The boot holds 552 litres, or 1,310 litres with the rear seats folded, and an optional tow bar enables 1,600 kg of braked towing. The vehicle meets Euro NCAP five‑star criteria and is covered by a seven‑year or 100,000‑mile warranty, plus an eight‑year or 124,000‑mile warranty on its electrical system. The first deliveries are expected in late October 2026.

The Pro trim includes a 15.4‑inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, online navigation, over‑the‑air updates, vegan leather seats, a 360‑degree camera and eight speakers. The Max trim adds a tilting screen, an augmented reality head‑up display, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats with memory, 64‑colour ambient lighting, 50‑W wireless charging and 14 speakers. Optional extras — available only on the Max — include a panoramic roof with electric sunblind for £1,000, 20‑inch alloy wheels for £800, and a detachable tow bar for £700. Any paint colour other than the standard Ganymede Grey costs £900, while Ganymede Grey is free. Both trims feature 17 driver‑assist systems with Level 2 assisted driving and a seven‑year/100,000‑mile vehicle warranty. The vehicle’s combined fuel economy is 139 mpg and 47 g/km of carbon dioxide (CO2), falling to 52.3 mpg when the battery is depleted.
