Master Changan Motors Limited to Launch Pakistan’s First CKD Range-Extended Hybrid Electric Vehicle (REEV) – The Deepal S05 with 1000+ km Combined Driving Range

A new chapter in Pakistan’s mobility story is set to unfold this November 2025, as Master Changan Motors Limited (MCML) prepares to introduce the country’s first locally assembled Range-Extended Hybrid Electric Vehicle (REEV) — the Deepal S05.

This premium C-segment SUV promises a combined driving range of over 1000 km, offering pure electric drive with an onboard self-charging generator, effectively eliminating the biggest hurdle to EV adoption: range anxiety.

“Defining Moment” for Pakistan’s Auto Industry

“This launch marks a defining moment for Pakistan’s auto industry — we are not only addressing range anxiety but also shaping the future of mobility with an EV-first platform designed for our market,” said Danial Malik, CEO of Master Changan Motors.

A Next-Generation SUV

The Deepal S05 is not just another SUV — it’s built on a next-generation EV-first platform, giving it the longest wheelbase and widest body in its segment. This results in the largest cabin space of any C-segment SUV available in Pakistan.

Already a success in global markets under the Deepal brand, the S05 now enters Pakistan as the most advanced SUV ever launched in the country.

Futuristic Styling by Klaus Zyciora

Designed by renowned automotive visionary Klaus Zyciora, former Head of Design at Volkswagen Group, the S05 brings futuristic styling features such as:

• A spacecraft-inspired front fascia

• Wide-body stance

• Frameless windows

• Hidden door handles

Its design has already won the prestigious iF Design Award, further validating its global appeal.

MCML’s Rapid Rise

In just six years, MCML has become Pakistan’s #3 automotive brand and the top new entrant, with over 65,000 vehicles on local roads.

Last year, it launched Deepal, Pakistan’s first electric-first brand, which quickly became the #1 premium New Energy Vehicle (NEV) brand with models such as the Deepal S07 SUV and Deepal L07 sedan.

Why the S05 Matters

With Pakistan’s EV adoption slowed by range anxiety and limited charging infrastructure, the Deepal S05 aims to be the solution drivers have been waiting for — combining cutting-edge global technology, futuristic styling, and long-distance practicality tailored specifically to Pakistan’s roads.

Countdown to Launch

Road testing of the Deepal S05 is already underway nationwide, with excitement growing fast ahead of its November debut.
