The Birmingham base is the brand’s hub for technical learning and customer support best practices and builds on Changan’s long-standing R&D operations in the UK. The facility is home to more than 100 research and development engineers focused on powertrain optimisation and technology advancements.

Nic Thomas, UK Managing Director, said: “Momentum has been building since the Deepal S07 arrived in the UK, and our growing dealer network demonstrates both the strength of appetite for Changan and our long-term commitment to the UK.

“Signing more than 40 sites with some of the most reputable dealer groups in the country so soon after launch is not only a great vote of confidence in our continued expansion, but gives customers nationwide, the opportunity to experience and own one of the most exciting EVs in the market and gain access to future models as they arrive in the UK.”

The Deepal S07, launched in September priced at £39,990, has been well received thanks to its combination of European-inspired design, 295-mile WLTP range, advanced driver technologies and premium interior features.

With more dealer partnerships in progress, Changan UK is firmly on track to establish a nationwide footprint by 2025, underpinned by its long-term investment in UK.
