MUSCAT, Oman just witnessed something electric—literally. DEEPAL, Changan Automobile's dedicated new energy vehicle brand, has officially rolled into the Omani market with the launch of the S05, S07, and G318. Hosted by Arabian Gulf Automobiles and Equipment (AGAE), this launch event buzzed with excitement as the brand brings intelligent new energy vehicles that already shine across the Middle East and Africa.
Moreover, this move builds perfectly on Changan’s solid foundation in Oman. Since entering the market in 2020, Changan has served more than 10,000 customers, ranked second among Chinese automotive brands for four consecutive years, established eight standalone showrooms, and built a network of more than 14 service centres across the Sultanate. Drivers here clearly love what Changan delivers, and now DEEPAL takes it to the next level.
Why DEEPAL Feels Like the Future We’ve Been Waiting For
Launched in 2022, DEEPAL focuses on delivering intelligent, sustainable, and user-centric mobility solutions. The brand has expanded across key markets in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, bringing advanced new energy vehicles that combine technology, performance, and practicality for modern drivers.
Changan Automobile representatives captured the spirit perfectly: "Today is not simply the launch of a new vehicle brand — it is a statement of long-term confidence in this market. More than 10,000 customers in Oman already drive a Changan vehicle every day, and DEEPAL represents the next chapter in that journey." Through advanced electrification and intelligent technologies, they bring vehicles that feel smarter, safer, and better suited to Omani roads.
