Deepal, Changan Automobile Group’s dynamic “Tech-Sport Trendsetter” brand, is gearing up to launch what it’s calling the world’s most integrated and efficient electric drive system in 2026. This ambitious announcement came during Changan’s first media briefing since its recent restructuring, where the company outlined its impressive strides in the first half of 2025 and its strategic plans for the second half.
Deepal isn’t just talking big – they’re showing a clear roadmap for rapid product expansion. Soon, we’ll see the introduction of the all-new Deepal L06, a model that promises to set new benchmarks with the world’s first 3nm automotive-grade cockpit chip and standard LiDAR across all its variants. If that’s not enough to get your motor running, August 1st marks the official launch of the Deepal S05 620km long-range version. And for the next two months, Deepal is committed to releasing a new product every two weeks, signaling a relentless pursuit of market dominance. Their five-year goal? A staggering 30 new mainstream and differentiated models to cater to every kind of driver. For those keeping score, Deepal’s S05 620km long-range version is a sure sign of their commitment to performance and range.
Looking ahead to the latter half of 2025, Deepal has set a challenging sales target of 180,000 to 200,000 units. To hit this, they’re not just relying on the S05. Mid-August will see an upgrade to the Deepal L07, an expansion of the Deepal S09 product line in late August, and a refreshed Deepal S07 hitting the streets in September. The highly anticipated all-new Deepal L06 is set for a Q4 2025 release. And on the technology front, Deepal is pulling out all the stops for 2026, with plans for a battery that remains fire-free even after a 120 kph collision and, of course, that globally leading electric drive system.
Deepal’s current “Force Super Integrated Electric Drive,” already in use on models like the Deepal S07, offers a fantastic peek into their technological prowess. This system boasts a global-leading operating efficiency of 92.59%. Pair that with the “Force Intelligent Range Extender” system, which delivers an industry-leading fuel-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 3.63 kWh per liter of fuel, and you’ve got a recipe for serious efficiency. This means more electric power from less fuel, which is a win for both your wallet and the environment. The clever integration of over a dozen components and functions in the electric drive and control systems dramatically reduces weight and volume. The result is an electric drive assembly with a power density of 2.53 kW/kg, translating to massive power from a surprisingly compact package. It’s clear that Deepal is focused on expanding its lineup and making its advanced technology more accessible.
While details on the 2026 electric drive system are still under wraps, it’s exciting to consider the potential enhancements. Given that their current system was already considered “global-leading” in 2024, we’re anticipating a significant leap forward. Deepal’s commitment to innovation and aggressive product rollout strategy suggests they’re not just playing in the EV market, they’re aiming to redefine it. The energy and pace coming from brands like Deepal are what make the Chinese EV market so incredibly dynamic. They are truly setting the pace for the future of electric mobility and are proving to be serious contenders against global players like Tesla in China.
