Master Changan Motors Brings Pakistan’s First Range-Extended Hybrid Electric SUV – Deepal S05
A new era of driving is about to begin in Pakistan. In November 2025, Master Changan Motors Limited (MCML) will officially launch the country’s first CKD Range-Extended Hybrid Electric Vehicle (REEV) — the futuristic Deepal S05.
This is not just another SUV launch. It is a historic milestone that could completely transform Pakistan’s automobile market. With a driving range of over 1000 km, an electric-first design, and an on-board self-charging generator, the Deepal S05 promises freedom, power, and sustainability like never before.
“This launch marks a defining moment for Pakistan’s auto industry. We are addressing range anxiety and shaping the future of mobility with an EV-first platform designed for our market,”
— Danial Malik, CEO of Master Changan
Why the Deepal S05 is a Game-Changer
The S05 is more than a car — it is a statement. Built on a next-generation EV platform, it is designed to compete with the world’s best and bring them to Pakistani roads.
Key highlights:
- 🚙 EV-First Architecture – Not a petrol car converted to EV, but designed as electric from the ground up.
- 📏 Biggest in Its Class – Longest wheelbase + widest body among all C-segment SUVs in Pakistan.
- 🛋️ Unmatched Space – The most spacious cabin in its category.
- 🌐 Globally Successful – Already a best-seller in multiple countries under the Deepal brand.
For Pakistani customers, this means global standards with local assembly — something that was unthinkable only a few years ago.

Designed by a Global Automotive Legend
The Deepal S05’s futuristic looks come from Klaus Zyciora, one of the world’s most respected automotive designers and former Head of Design at Volkswagen Group.
The SUV’s design language is inspired by spacecrafts, giving it a look that feels straight out of the future:
- 🚀 Spacecraft-inspired front fascia
- 🛡️ Wide, bold stance that dominates the road
- 🪟 Frameless premium windows
- 🤫 Hidden door handles for a smooth, modern profile
This design has already won the prestigious iF Design Award, making the S05 an international design champion even before its Pakistani debut.
Master Changan’s Rise to Power
In only six years, MCML has:
- Climbed to Pakistan’s #3 car brand
- Become the #1 new entrant in the market
- Put 65,000+ vehicles on Pakistani roads
And the company is not slowing down.
In 2024, it launched Deepal, Pakistan’s first electric-first brand, with:
- Deepal S07 SUV
- Deepal L07 sedan
These models quickly made Deepal the #1 premium New Energy Vehicle (NEV) brand in Pakistan. Now, with the arrival of the S05, the bar is being raised even higher.
Solving Pakistan’s EV Challenges
Electric Vehicle adoption in Pakistan has always faced two big hurdles:
- Range Anxiety – Fear of running out of charge on long drives.
- Limited Charging Infrastructure – Few charging stations available across the country.
The Deepal S05 eliminates these issues by:
- Providing 1000+ km combined range.
- Featuring an on-board self-charging generator so the battery can charge during the journey.
- Offering global EV technology optimized for Pakistani driving conditions.
This means drivers can finally enjoy the benefits of an EV without worrying about charging stops or limited distance.
