This will grow to 50 retail sites nationwide by the end of 2025, supported by a UK parts hub and dedicated aftersales network ensuring gold standard customer care.
Changan’s R&D facility in Birmingham, home to 100 engineers, has tested, validated, and tuned the Deepal S07 for UK roads and regulations, ensuring it perfectly marries UK consumer expectations in comfort, performance, and safety.
