DEEPAL S05 Expands Footprint Across Middle East And Africa Following UAE Launch

Starting in July 2025, the DEEPAL S05, an EV from the intelligent mobility brand DEEPAL under Changan Automobile, will make its debut in several Middle East and Africa (MEA) markets. This expansion follows its initial successful introduction in the UAE. The vehicle will soon hit the roads in countries including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Ivory Coast, Angola, and Palestine, marking a significant step in DEEPAL's regional strategy.

The DEEPAL S05 is engineered to revolutionize the electric vehicle landscape in the MEA region with its impressive 216HP and ability to go from 0-100 in under eight seconds. It combines spaciousness with an intelligent driving experience, setting a new standard for electric vehicles in these markets. This vehicle is not just about power; it is designed with the modern, technology-savvy driver in mind, offering a smart, versatile driving experience that aligns with the increasing demand for clean and connected mobility across the region.

DEEPAL has designed the S05 with regional needs at the forefront, offering two versions to cater to different driving habits and infrastructure requirements. The EV variant boasts an impressive electric range of up to 460 km, while the REEV variant provides a 160 km electric range complemented by a 1.5L range extender. This combination allows for more than 900 km of range, offering flexibility and convenience for longer journeys.

Constructed on DEEPAL's cutting-edge CPA architecture, the S05 excels in performance, safety, and connectivity. Its compact size is perfect for navigating the bustling cities of the MEA region, and its futuristic interior design is both innovative and practical.

The vehicle features a rear-wheel drive layout, a panoramic sunroof, zero-gravity seats, and advanced technology such as a 15.4" central display, smart voice assistant, and over-the-air upgrades. Its aerodynamic shape, frameless windows, and hidden door handles enhance its sleek design, while its comprehensive safety systems utilize the latest in radar technology.

DEEPAL's expansion into the MEA market is a testament to its commitment to providing clean, intelligent vehicles tailored to local needs and environmental goals. By partnering with leading local distributors, DEEPAL aims to make the S05 accessible to a wider audience, offering a premium electric vehicle experience at a more affordable price. The dual-power option of REEV and EV variants ensures that the S05 is adaptable, even in areas where the electric charging infrastructure is still evolving.

Consumers in the MEA region will have the opportunity to register their interest and schedule showroom visits to experience the DEEPAL S05 firsthand. The company will share more details about specific market launch dates, pricing, and test-drive opportunities in July, as it gears up for the rollout.

He stated, "With the launch of the DEEPAL S05 across MEA markets, we're introducing a product that reflects the everyday needs of modern, tech-forward drivers. It's smart, versatile, and designed to meet the growing regional demand for clean, connected mobility."
