Changan Automobile has unveiled the next phase of its Europe strategy, introducing a new model series called Nevo for the European market. Following the launch of Changan Deepal last year, the Chinese automaker is expanding its offerings with additional powertrain options. At the same time, it plans to further develop its European capabilities in research, development, engineering, and customer service.

According to Changan, the Nevo is aimed primarily at modern families and emphasizes three core values: Refined Design (elegant design), Shared Comfort (shared comfort), and Enjoyable Technology (technology that brings joy). The model series combines sophisticated design with customizable interior concepts, intelligent cockpits, connected features, and driver assistance systems.

The all-electric Nevo Q05 is equipped with the Golden Shield Battery, which is designed for durability, safety, efficiency, and fast charging. The vehicle offers a WLTP range of up to 450 kilometers and can charge from 30% to 80% in 15 minutes using a DC charging station. The Nevo Q06 is set to add another model to the lineup, featuring a striking design, comfort, and intelligent technology.

Meanwhile, Changan is expanding its technology portfolio with various drive concepts and driver assistance systems. The BlueCore Hybrid technology brand introduced in March includes HEV, PHEV, and REEV architectures, while the SDA Pilot system unveiled in September 2026 is based on a single-stage end-to-end architecture. For SDA Pilot, Changan cites 1.1 million hours of real-world driving data, over 1.2 billion kilometers driven in assisted mode, and nearly ten million automated parking operations. The technologies already in use in China will be adapted to meet European regulations and road conditions, according to the company.

In Europe, the Changan Deepal S05 and S07 models are already available as fully electric vehicles, with the S05 PHEV also available in Germany. The S07 PHEV is set to launch in the major European markets by 2026. The brand’s portfolio in Europe includes not only the Deepal and Nevo model lines but also the Avatr brand targeting the higher-end market segment. Changan and Avatr were introduced in Europe in March 2025, while sales of the Changan Deepal began in Germany in August 2025.

Under the “In Europe, For Europe” strategy, Changan continues to expand its regional infrastructure. As early as 2001, the company opened a European design center in Turin and later enhanced its R&D capabilities with a facility in Birmingham. Parts centers in the Netherlands and the UK, along with technical support, customer service, and technician training, are intended to strengthen after-sales services. Additionally, the planned expansion of the European ecosystem includes further R&D capabilities, skilled personnel, and future manufacturing options.
