Changan Deepal S05.

Changan is probably the biggest Chinese car manufacturer you’ve never heard of. Based in Chongqing, the company has made production cars in China since 1984 and has had a base in Europe since 2003, when it opened its design studio in Turin, Italy.

Today, the firm has a network of R&D facilities across the globe, including Detroit, Munich and Birmingham in the UK. Its first UK car, the Deepal S07, launched in September 2025 to impressive reviews, thanks to its high-level spec and competitive price. Now, its second model looks to do the same.
