1/8/2026

Singapore, 8 January 2026 — DEEPAL, the premium electric vehicle brand backed by CHANGAN Automobile, marks a significant milestone at the Singapore Motorshow 2026 with the local debut of its first expected COE Category A model in the line-up, the all-new DEEPAL S05.

Since its launch in China in October 2024, the DEEPAL S05 has been met with strong consumer enthusiasm, achieving cumulative sales of more than 60,000 units. In the ASEAN region, the model has also performed well in Thailand, recording top EV SUV registrations for consecutive months since March 2025. Alongside the DEEPAL S07, the S05 contributes to the brand's long-term objective of becoming one of the world's top 10 automotive brands, with a global sales target of five million units by 2030.

From 8 to 11 January at the Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre, Level 6, visitors to the Motorshow can get a first-hand look at the S05 which is slated to go on sale in Q1 this year, showcased in its Moonlight White exterior. Interested customers may register their interest at the DEEPAL Booth #6113 to receive early updates on launch timing, model availability, as well as ongoing exclusive promotions.

"Singapore remains a key gateway for DEEPAL, as we continue expanding our EV portfolio across Southeast Asia," said Ms Jacqueline Tanaga, General Manager of DEEPAL Singapore. "We are excited to introduce local audiences to the S05 – expected to be a COE Category A electric SUV tailored for modern drivers who value smart technology, thoughtful design, and everyday functionality. Together with our award-winning S07, we are presenting a line-up that reflects DEEPAL's mission to make high-quality electric mobility intuitive and accessible, empowering more people to embrace a more sustainable way of moving."

DEEPAL S05: Setting A New Standard for Electric SUVs

Designed for today's urban lifestyles, the iF Design Award-winning S05 combines contemporary styling with everyday practicality. Its sleek, aerodynamic exterior is engineered to navigate narrow spaces with ease, while delivering the comfort and space suited for both daily commutes and weekend adventures.

The display unit at the Motorshow offers an exclusive preview of the S05's modern sculpted exterior, spacious interior, and intelligent driver-assist systems which was recognised by Torino Automotive Design Award 2025 as "Best Human-Centric Intelligent Integration" – showcasing how the model balances sophistication with functional performance.

Despite its compact footprint, the S05 delivers impressive space and versatility. It features a 492-litre rear boot complemented by a class-leading 159-litre front trunk, offering flexible storage solutions for everyday needs. Its largest and leading SUV class 2,880mm wheelbase further enhances comfort, providing generous legroom even for second-row passengers.

Stepping inside, the cabin is centred around an Augmented Reality Head-Up Display (AR HUD), which projects critical driving information directly into the driver's real-world view to enhance safety and awareness on the road. A 15.4-inch voice-responsive Sunflower touchscreen anchors the smart cockpit, offering seamless infotainment control through an intuitive interface. For added convenience in tight urban environments, the mid-sized five-seater SUV is equipped with Remote Straight-In and Out (RSIO) functionality, allowing drivers to manoeuvre the vehicle into or out of parking spaces remotely using the key fob.

Full specifications and pricing for the S05 will be announced at a later date.
