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.
