Deepal teases S05 and S07 SUV updates for Australia

Deepal Australia has indicated that further details regarding the S05 and S07 electric SUV lineups will be released in the coming weeks. Local distributor Inchcape Australia stated they expect to share more information soon concerning local specifications and powertrain options.

Following updates from parent company Changan at the Paris motor show, which confirmed plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions of the S05 and S07 for Europe, there are indications that Australia may also receive both electric vehicle (EV) and PHEV models. The S05 is expected to enter the Australian market between late 2024 and early 2027.

Certification documents suggest the S05 EV may include a 200kW single-motor two-wheel drive configuration or a 320kW dual-motor all-wheel configuration, both utilizing a 68.82kWh battery. If a PHEV version is released in Australia, it would likely mirror UK specifications, featuring a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with a 172kW electric motor.
