Deepal, a subsidiary of Changan, is making a strategic entrance into the UAE market through an exclusive partnership with Al Tayer Motors, now the brand’s first official distributor in the Middle East. With the launch of its debut model, the Deepal S07, the Chinese automaker is confidently paving the way in a market that is rapidly embracing electric and extended range vehicles. Deepal’s mission is to deliver an advanced driving experience at an accessible price, combining innovative technology with a robust local support network to ensure peace of mind for new owners.

About Deepal and Its Role within Changan Group


Deepal belongs to the Changan group’s New Energy Vehicle sector, focusing on developing fully electric models as well as extended range versions that blend an electric motor with a gasoline generator for longer driving distances. The brand is expanding globally in parallel with Changan’s growth across Europe and the Arab region, strengthening trust in the brand’s long term support, maintenance, and future updates.


In the UAE, Al Tayer Motors has been appointed as the exclusive distributor for Deepal, with a commitment to build a comprehensive network of showrooms and service centers in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, offering a complete ownership experience on par with leading global brands.

Available Model in the UAE


Deepal launched its journey in the UAE with the S07, offered in two main versions:

  • The fully electric version targets drivers who spend most of their time in the city and have access to home or public charging.

  • The extended range version features a primary electric motor with a small gasoline generator, allowing for longer journeys without worrying about running out of battery.

Prices in the UAE range from 119,000 to 149,000 dirhams depending on the version and trim level, making the S07 one of the most competitive Chinese electric vehicles in its segment for value and performance.

Performance and Technical Specifications


The Deepal S07 strikes a balance between power and efficiency with an advanced hybrid system designed for smooth, responsive driving.

  • Electric motor delivers 175 kW, equivalent to around 235 horsepower.

  • Torque reaches 320 Nm for quick acceleration.

  • Gasoline generator has a 1.5 liter capacity to boost the total driving range.

  • Maximum range goes up to about 950 kilometers in the extended range model.

  • Front wheel drive and smart electronic transmission for optimal handling.

  • Interior features a large central display, connected navigation, and a modern cabin designed for comfort and convenience.

This technical variety gives drivers the flexibility to choose the version that best fits their lifestyle, whether for city commutes or long distance travel across the Emirates.

After Sales Services and Peace of Mind for Owners


Al Tayer Motors handles the sales and maintenance of Deepal vehicles in the UAE through modern showrooms and specialized service centers.

  • Digital services: Schedule test drives and request maintenance through the official website and smart app.

  • Maintenance and warranty: Access genuine spare parts and fast maintenance services according to factory standards.

  • Owner support: Get expert advice on home and public charging systems, along with regular software updates for the vehicle.

This comprehensive system reassures buyers that Deepal’s support is reliable and fully local, following the standards of leading agencies in the UAE.

The Future of Deepal in the UAE Market


Deepal is preparing to expand its presence with new models, most notably the compact S05, which was recently revealed with the local partner. This move signals the brand’s aim to cover various electric car segments at different price points. These plans go hand in hand with ongoing efforts to enter more GCC markets and ramp up global production, which will positively impact customer choices across the country.

How to Choose the Right Version and Make the Most of the Charging Network


Before buying your Deepal, it is best to evaluate your daily driving style and weekly mileage:

  • The fully electric version is ideal for those who mainly drive in the city and have regular home charging.

  • The extended range version suits those who travel between emirates or need extra range without worrying about charging stops.

Al Tayer showrooms allow drivers to try both versions, compare comfort and acceleration, and assess total ownership costs, while the expanding charging network in Dubai and Abu Dhabi keeps ownership simple and advanced year after year.
