In today’s era of rising fuel costs and growing demand for efficient mobility solutions, the Deepal S05 Range Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) is emerging as a game changer in Pakistan’s SUV landscape. As deliveries begin across the country, customers are not simply receiving a new SUV—they are stepping into a new way of driving that combines electric performance, exceptional cost efficiency, and complete range confidence.

Built by Changan, Pakistan’s fourth largest auto manufacturer and number one new entrant in the market, the Deepal S05 stands apart as Pakistan’s only Range Extended Electric Vehicle. Unlike conventional hybrids that continue to rely heavily on fuel, the S05 REEV is electric at its core, delivering a driving experience that is smoother, quieter, and significantly more economical.
The REEV Advantage: Electric at Its Core
At the heart of this advantage is a simple but powerful idea: electricity should be the primary source of mobility. The Deepal S05’s 27.28 kWh Golden Shield Battery enables up to 170 km of pure electric driving, allowing most daily commutes to be completed without consuming a single drop of fuel.
Even on longer journeys, the vehicle continues to drive electrically, while the onboard range extender functions only as a generator to produce electricity. Operating within a controlled and narrow RPM range, this intelligent system ensures fuel is used in the most efficient way possible, directly translating into lower running costs for customers.
With ECU control, knock sensors, and EGR reducing combustion temperature, the system can also efficiently operate on readily available RON 92 and above grade fuel, ensuring compatibility with Pakistan’s fuel infrastructure.
Industry-Leading Efficiency: Best Cost per Kilometer
The Deepal S05 REEV stands out where it matters most: the total cost of ownership. When compared with competition in its category, the Deepal S05 REEV offers:
- Up to 70% savings in driving cost versus conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles
- Significantly lower maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts
- Range confidence with total driving range exceeding 1,000 km
| Metric | Deepal S05 REEV | Conventional ICE SUVs |
|---|---|---|
| Pure Electric Range | Up to 170 km | – |
| Total Driving Range | 1,000+ km | Varies |
| Fuel Savings | Up to 70% | Baseline |
| Fuel Grade | RON 92+ | RON 92+ |
Estimates based on prevailing electricity tariffs, fuel prices, published fuel consumption numbers, and OEM claimed NEDC ranges in Pakistan. Actual costs may vary depending on driving patterns and charging behavior.
Leadership Perspective
Mr. Danial Malik, CEO of Master Changan, 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 1,000 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.”
About the Deepal S05 REEV
The Deepal S05 Range Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) is Pakistan’s only vehicle in its category that operates primarily on electric power. Unlike traditional hybrids that split power between fuel and battery, the REEV platform uses its internal combustion engine exclusively as a generator to extend range when needed. This architecture delivers the efficiency of an electric vehicle with the range confidence of a conventional car.
