Deepal says it will announce updates for its S05 and S07 electric SUVs in Australia in the coming weeks.

Deepal Australia has hinted at announcements for its S05 and S07 electric SUVs in the coming weeks, following product updates revealed at the Paris motor show. A spokesperson for Deepal's local distributor, Inchcape Australia, said the brand expected to share further details on the S05 and S07 lineup, local specifications and powertrain options, though stopped short of commenting on specific models or timing.

Deepál's parent company Changan confirmed plug-in hybrid versions of both the mid-size S05 and S07 for the European market, with the S05 PHEV set to launch in the UK this month. The S05 had initially been promised for Australia in late 2025, but now appears on track to arrive either very late this year or in early 2027.

Changan's European announcement suggests Australia may receive both electric and plug-in hybrid versions of the S05, which is smaller than the S07. This would position the S05 as a rival to the BYD Atto 3. Government certification documents uncovered in January detail potential Australian specifications for the S05 EV, including a 200kW single-motor two-wheel drive and a 320kW dual-motor all-wheel drive configuration, both with a 68.82kWh battery.
