The Danish motoring portal Bilbasen recently reported that Chinese automaker Changan will bring its electric-SUV brand Deepal to Denmark, with first deliveries expected in 2026. This is part of a broader European rollout of Deepal models, and given growing interest across Europe in competitively priced Chinese EVs, the launch deserves attention. In this article, we break down what’s known about Changan’s background, how EU import tariffs affect pricing, and what the two initial Deepal models (S05 and S07) offer for European customers.

Launch Plans in Denmark
The official introduction of Changan Deepal in Denmark is scheduled for May 2026, with Andersen Motors handling the import and sales. The initial offering is set to include two electric SUVs, the compact Deepal S05 and the larger Deepal S07. Both models are already present in selected European markets, including Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. There’s still no information about pricing in Denmark, but with growing demand across Europe for competitively priced electric cars, the arrival of Deepal surely adds a new option to the lineup.
Deepal S05
The Deepal S05 is a compact SUV with clean exterior features and a closed front grille, slim LED headlights, flush door handles, and frameless doors. Inside, the cabin is dominated by a 15.4-inch central touchscreen and an augmented-reality head-up display, providing a modern, technology-focused interior with good space for passengers.
The S05 is powered by a 68.8 kWh LFP battery and is available in rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive configurations, with power outputs of 200 kW (272 hp) for the RWD variant and 320 kW (435 hp) for the AWD version. Acceleration from 0–100 km/h takes 7.5 seconds for RWD and 5.5 seconds for AWD, with top speed of 180 km/h.

Trunk volume measures 492 liters in both versions, complemented by a frunk of 159 liters for RWD and 152 liters for AWD.. Charging is supported via AC at up to 11 kW, requiring around 7–8 hours for a full charge, and DC fast charging at up to 90 kW allows the battery to reach 30–80% in roughly 30 minutes.
Deepal S07
The Deepal S07 is a mid-size coupe-SUV whose proportions combine a sporty silhouette with practical interior space. The exterior includes a full-width LED light bar, hidden door handles, and subtle design lines for aerodynamics. The interior is spacious, featuring a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, panoramic roof, and augmented-reality head-up display, with heated and ventilated front seats including driver memory settings.
The Deepal S07 packs a 79.97 kWh battery and an electric motor producing up to 160 kW, delivering around 475 km of WLTP range. DC fast charging is supported up to 93 kW, allowing a 30 % to 80 % top-up in roughly 35 minutes. Trunk capacity is 445 liters, complemented by a frunk of 125 liters.

Who is Changan Automobile
Changan Automobile is one of China’s longest-established and biggest automakers, with roots going back over 160 years and decades of experience producing passenger cars, SUVs, and commercial vehicles. To better address different market segments, Changan today operates several sub‑brands, from its mainstream Changan Auto line to electric‑vehicle labels like Deepal and Avatr, as well as commercial‑vehicle brands.
Deepal, the brand arriving in Denmark, is positioned as a modern EV and plug‑in hybrid label aimed at buyers seeking value, technology and electric mobility. Changan has a huge global footprint, with dozens of factories, a wide international supply chain, and exports to many countries, which shows it has the capacity to make a real push into Europe.
That said, bringing Chinese EVs to Europe isn’t without challenges. Changan has to navigate changing regulations and new import tariffs, which currently total of 40.8% for its EVs in Europe, and this will affect the final price for buyers in Denmark, just as it does in other European markets.
