Deepal S05: electric compact SUV — tech and buying guide
Deepal S05 — the Changan Deepal brand's electric compact SUV, unveiled in 2024 in China and showcased at the IAA 2025 in Europe. We explore what sets it apart and what you need to know before buying such a car.
S05 at a glance
The S05 is a compact electric SUV with a modern look and cutting-edge technology. It's designed for city driving and family use, with a high roofline and practical boot.
Deepal — the electric vehicle brand from Changan, so the model is geared towards the latest tech: large screens, software, and electric drivetrain.
Versions and availability
The S05 is primarily sold in China, but Changan is showcasing it in Europe too, so it could hit Lithuanian roads soon. Currently, the used market is thin on the ground.
The main version is fully electric. Specs and names vary by market, so check the specific car's details before buying.
Electric drivetrain and charging
The S05 has an electric motor and battery, with power, capacity, and range depending on the version. Check the specific car's documents for exact figures.
Note the charging port: Chinese-market cars often have a different connector (GB/T) than the CCS2 used in Europe, so you might need an adapter or modification.
What to check when buying a used S05
First and foremost — battery condition and warranty: ask for diagnostic data and check if the manufacturer's warranty is valid in Lithuania. Also, ensure the car is legally registered and meets EU requirements.
Test the software: language selection, navigation, assist systems, and updates. In some Chinese market versions, the menu may only be in Chinese.
