The Deepal S05, a futuristic compact electric SUV, has officially launched in Nepal through MAW Vriddhi, the authorized distributor of Changan vehicles. Priced between Rs. 48.99 Lakhs and Rs. 56.99 Lakhs, the S05 is positioned as a perfect balance of luxury, technology, and affordability, directly rivaling the BYD Atto 3. The SUV has already earned global recognition with the prestigious iF Design Award 2025, thanks to its bold aerodynamics, frameless doors, illuminated logo, and star-feeder LED taillights.

Under the hood, the Deepal S05 is powered by a 175 kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) paired with a 56.1 kWh CATL Golden Shield Battery 2.0, delivering up to 232 PS power and 320 Nm torque. It promises a range of up to 510 km (CLTC) while charging from 30–80% in just 30 minutes via DC fast charging. The advanced cooling system, electric start, and superior cold-weather performance make it highly suitable for Nepal’s diverse geography. With a ground clearance of 160 mm, seating for five, and segment-first innovations like Remote Parking Assist and AR Head-Up Display, the S05 sets a new benchmark in Nepal’s EV market.

Deepal S05 Performance

The Deepal S05 is designed to deliver a refined yet thrilling driving experience. Its rear-wheel-drive layout with near 50:50 weight distribution ensures stability and sharp handling on Nepal’s winding highways and urban streets. Accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just 7.3 seconds, the S05 competes with some of the most performance-oriented EVs in its segment. The 56.1 kWh LFP battery pack supports a claimed range of 510 km (CLTC), making it practical for both long highway trips and daily commutes. With DC fast charging capability (30-80% in 30 minutes), it minimizes downtime, while the 7.2 kW AC charging option covers home-charging needs in around 10 hours.

Deepal S05 Design

The design of the S05 reflects Deepal’s futuristic philosophy, blending smooth curves with aerodynamic precision. The front features a shark-nose fascia with split LED headlights and projector beams, while the rear showcases a full-width connected taillight with an illuminated logo. Frameless doors, hidden handles, and 18-inch alloy wheels give the SUV a bold stance. With dimensions of 4,620 mm length, 1,900 mm width, and 1,600 mm height, it commands a strong road presence without compromising agility. The design not only emphasizes luxury but also achieves a drag coefficient of 0.258 Cd, making it one of the most aerodynamically efficient SUVs in its class.

Step inside the Deepal S05, and you’re greeted with a premium cabin built around luxury and high-tech convenience. The dashboard is minimalist yet futuristic, featuring a 15.6-inch rotating 2.5K infotainment display powered by a Snapdragon SA8155P chip, offering support for Spotify, YouTube, and wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Both front seats are ventilated, heated, and equipped with memory & massage functions. The highlight is the “Queen Co-Pilot” zero-gravity seat with leg support and one-touch nap mode, a first in Nepal. The cabin also offers 64-color ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control with PM2.5 filtration, and a 14-speaker immersive sound system, making every drive comfortable and luxurious. A 192-liter frunk and 492-liter boot further enhance practicality for long trips.

Deepal S05 Safety & Features

Safety and technology are where the Deepal S05 truly shines. It comes with ADAS 2.0 offering 19 intelligent driver-assistance features, enhancing confidence behind the wheel. Segment-first AR Head-Up Display projects navigation, traffic signals, and speed data directly onto the windshield, reducing distractions. With 6 airbags, ABS, EBD, ESC, Hill Assist, and Collision Mitigation, passenger safety is well taken care of. The standout feature, however, is Remote In-and-Out Parking, allowing the SUV to move in tight spaces at the push of a button-perfect for Kathmandu’s congested parking.
