Changan Guide

Changan is a major Chinese vehicle manufacturer whose UK passenger-car business launched in 2025. Its British range uses the Deepal name and concentrates on family SUVs, combining electric power with generous standard equipment and a technology-led cabin.

The company also has a research and development presence in Birmingham and a design centre in Turin, so its European operation predates the arrival of its cars in British showrooms.

Sales and servicing are handled through a growing UK dealer network. The smaller S05 sits beneath the S07, with a plug-in hybrid S05 now joining the electric offering. Denza is covered separately below.

The S05 aims to make an electric family SUV feel generously equipped without stepping into a premium badge. Rear-seat space and useful luggage compartments suit everyday family duties, while the prominent touchscreen and reclining passenger seat give it a distinctive cabin. It is worth trying the controls on a test drive. The new plug-in version broadens the choice for regular longer trips.

The S07 is the larger, more lounge-like choice in Changan’s British range. A spacious cabin, panoramic roof and generous equipment list give it plenty of showroom appeal, particularly for families moving into their first electric SUV. The emphasis is on comfort and convenience rather than a sporty badge. Check that its screen-based controls and charging performance suit your normal routine.
