(Web Desk): Changan’s Deepal S05 REEV is becoming a game changer in Pakistan SUV market as rising fuel costs push demand for electric mobility solutions.

As deliveries begin across the country, buyers are not just getting a new SUV but experiencing a completely new way of driving. The vehicle combines electric performance, low running cost, and strong driving range.

Developed by Changan, the Deepal S05 REEV is Pakistan’s only Range Extended Electric Vehicle. Unlike traditional hybrid cars that still depend on fuel, this SUV mainly runs on electricity, offering a smoother and quieter driving experience.

The vehicle is powered by a 27.28 kWh battery that allows up to 170 km of pure electric driving. This means most daily travel can be completed without using any fuel at all.

For longer trips, the system uses a range extender that works as a generator to produce electricity. It runs efficiently at a controlled speed, helping reduce fuel use and overall cost.

The smart system also supports commonly available RON 92 fuel, making it practical for everyday use in Pakistan.

When compared with other SUVs in the same category, the Deepal S05 REEV can save up to 70% in driving costs. Lower maintenance further adds to its affordability, making it one of the most cost-effective options in the market.

CEO Master Changan, Mr. Danial Malik commented: “At Master Changan, we stay ahead of the curve by bringing the latest technology to Pakistan. With the Deepal S05, we’ve pioneered REEV, delivering over 1000 km of range and turning range anxiety into range confidence. In today’s high fuel cost environment, it’s redefining efficiency, shaping the future of mobility, and setting a new benchmark for Pakistan.”

Experts say the Deepal S05 REEV is not just another SUV but a sign of changing trends in Pakistan’s auto industry. It offers a balance of efficiency, performance, and reliability for modern drivers.

People want cheaper travel due to high fuel prices. This SUV gives strong savings and long range. Electric vehicles may grow faster in Pakistan now. It can push other companies to bring similar technology.
