Among the numerous Chinese brands that have entered Spain in 2026 are companies like Geely – we tested its plug-in hybrid SUV with a range of 1,055 km – but there are also brands that arrived without much fanfare or significant advertising. This is the case with Changan, which has succeeded by emphasizing its competitive price: it has already sold over 3,000 units in Spain so far this year – more than DS or Mitsubishi – and one of its electric SUVs is in the top 10 of the best-selling EVs in Spain.
We are referring to the Changan Deepal S05 electric SUV, which is 4.6 meters long. It has been updated with a range of up to 620 km and is also available as a plug-in hybrid SUV. But this Chinese brand also sells another larger electric SUV, 4.75 meters long, with a range of 500 km and at a competitive price.
1,000 km range for its new plug-in hybrid SUV: Changan aims to become the dominant Chinese brand
It’s called the Deepal S07, which was also recently updated; Changan has just introduced its version with a plug-in hybrid engine in Europe, boasting a 1,000 km range.
This Chinese brand has already become successful in Spain with the Deepal S05, thanks to its limited investment. It now aims to achieve the same success with its larger SUV: the Deepal S07. Therefore, it recently unveiled the plug-in hybrid version of this SUV at the Auto Athina show in Greece. Its price in that country has already been announced and is expected to be similar to the price in Spain, where it will arrive by the end of this year or early 2027.
The Changan Deepal S07 Ultra PHEV uses the same plug-in hybrid engine as the Deepal S05. That is, it features a 1.5 L gasoline three-cylinder engine producing 96 HP, which acts as a generator for a rear electric motor with 190 kW / 258 HP, paired with an 18.4 kWh LFP battery that provides an electric range of 100 km. What about its total range? Around 1,000 km, though this figure has not yet been confirmed precisely.
Good performance and an attractive price
In terms of performance, this new plug-in hybrid SUV from the brand that dominates Spain can reach 185 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds. As for battery charging power, it reaches 55 kW when connected to a fast DC charger.
This Chinese manufacturer has already announced the prices for the two versions of this plug-in hybrid SUV available in Greece. The base model will cost 36,000 euros, while the higher-end version costs 39,000 euros.
Given MG’s offer of the EHS plug-in hybrid for 24,540 euros in Spain, or Geely’s price of just 25,125 euros for its plug-in hybrid SUV, these prices could well drop due to competition in this segment.
