Deepal S05 EV Coming to Nepal in 2025: More Powerful, More Compact!

Deepal S05 is launching soon in Nepal.

MAW Vriddhi AutoCorp, the authorized distributor of Changan vehicles in Nepal, plans to introduce the S05 following the success of the Deepal S07, launched earlier in 2025.

The S05, like the S07, is built on Changan’s EPA1 platform, designed specifically for their New Energy Vehicles.

Leveraging the EPA1 platform, the S05 strikes a balance between performance, affordability, and a refined driving experience.

Unveiled in China in October, the S05 quickly garnered thousands of orders upon its release.

Furthermore, it is available in both Battery Electric and Extended Range Electric variants for the international market.

What is the Price of Deepal S05 in Nepal?

Deepal S05 price in Nepal is expected to be between Rs. 55 Lakhs to Rs. 65 Lakhs. However, the exact price is not fixed as of yet.

Deepal plans to officially launch the S05 in early 2025, likely in March.

This compact SUV will strengthen Deepal’s electric lineup in Nepal, offering a more practical option for buyers who find the S07 too large.

Let’s have a look at the key specs of Deepal S05 in Nepal for 2024.

Deepal S05 Overview

Design

The Deepal S05 is a C-segment SUV that stands out with its “pebble-smooth” design, setting it apart from its siblings like the S07 and L07.

The lighting elements remain familiar, featuring Split LED DRLs at the top and Projector LED lights in the lower section.

However, the S05 refines the projector LED setup with a sleek “Delta-wing” design.

From the side, the S05 appears dynamic and compact.

The streamlined body integrates clean character lines and contours, with the side mirrors being the only noticeable protrusion.

It rides on stylish 18-inch Multi-Wheels and boasts an impressive wheelbase of 2,880 mm. This allows S05 to assume a comfortable stance and massive interior space.

At the rear, the design feels modern yet recognizable, showcasing “In-Vogue” full-width LED taillights and the brand’s signature three-point logo centrally placed.

Inside, the S05 reflects a distinctly Chinese EV aesthetic, embracing a minimalist and elegant design.

The dashboard features a massive 15.6-inch Infotainment Touchscreen, while the Floating Central Console houses Wireless Charging Pads.

Replacing a traditional instrument cluster, the S05 opts for a futuristic Augmented Reality (AR) Heads-Up Display to present driving metrics.

The interior comes equipped with a premium 14-speaker sound system and a Panoramic Sunroof, creating a luxurious cabin experience.

Deepal S05 Price in Nepal and Availability

Deepal S05 price in Nepal is expected to be between Rs. 55 Lakhs and Rs. 65 Lakhs. The exact pricing details will be revealed at the time of the launch.

As for the S05’s launch timeline, it is scheduled for March 2025.

Stay tuned for updates! We’ll keep this article refreshed with the latest information as soon as it becomes available.

The Deepal S05 is set to compete directly with the BYD Atto 3, a dominant player in Nepal’s EV market.

Designed specifically to challenge the Atto 3, the S05 aims to carve out a strong presence in this segment.

Currently, the BYD Atto 3 is Nepal’s best-selling electric SUV. With its two variants, it caters to both entry-level buyers and electric vehicle enthusiasts.

Powered by a modest 99 kW motor and featuring the renowned “Blade Battery,” the Atto 3 delivers a range of 300–400 km, depending on the variant.

When the Deepal S07 launched in Nepal, it made a noticeable impact on the Atto 3’s dominance.

However, BYD’s strong brand value and the superior safety and reliability of its industry-leading Blade Battery attracted more customers, particularly since the S07 relied on NMC batteries.

The S05, equipped with an LFP battery, benefits from the growing popularity of recent Deepal models in Nepal.

With improved performance and enhanced features, the S05 is set to take on the Atto 3 and challenge its position as Nepal’s favorite electric SUV.
