Changan expands global footprint and battery partnerships
Overview
Since May 2026, Changan has been rolling out AI-enhanced hybrids and ADAS while expanding its global dealer network. In July, it opened five new dealerships in the Philippines, hosted South African journalists at its Chinese R&D centre, announced the Nevo Q05 EV for the Netherlands, and revealed Indonesian pricing for the Deepal S05. The Deepal S05 plug-in hybrid entered Europe in early July, debuting in Greece at €31,990, with a Barcelona launch setting the Pro trim at €24,933. Kantar BrandZ placed Chongqing Changan in the Top 10 Chinese global auto brands in late July. In August, the Deepal S05 Ultra-Hybrid arrived in Greece, featuring the BlueCore Hybrid E-Drive system and a total claimed range of 1,060 km. Simultaneously, an updated electric S05 launched in China with a refreshed front end, LiDAR-based ADAS, and a 200 kW motor. Deepal continues its international expansion, introducing the Deepal S07 electric SUV to Europe and launching an upgraded S05 in Vietnam. In Indonesia, the Deepal S05 was introduced with both BEV and REEV options, while in Slovenia, the S05 is being marketed as a plug-in hybrid with a range exceeding 1,000 km. Additionally, patent images for a large six-occupant Deepal S09 SUV have surfaced in China. In Indonesia, Changan has begun delivering the Nevo Q05 electric SUV following over 1,000 orders at GIIAS 2026. On September 23, 2026, Changan launched the Nevo Q06 (also known as Qiyuan Q06) in China. In August 2026, Changan, operating under the Indomobil Group, conducted media test drives for the Nevo Q05 electric SUV in Indonesia. At the 2026 Paris Motor Show, Changan unveiled an expanded European strategy featuring the debut of the NEVO brand. In October 2026, Changan expanded its strategic cooperation with battery manufacturer CATL to increase joint production capacity to 75 GWh.
