Changan to introduce Avatr, Deepal in PH next year?

MANILA: Inchcape Philippines is set to further grow Changan’s stable in the country next year — with the launch of at least three vehicles for the local market.

Such an announcement was made by Changan Philippines Head of Sales Arlan Antonio Reyes Jr. during a recent engagement with the motoring media.

In his presentation, the local automotive industry veteran presented silhouettes of three vehicles that are seemingly not yet part of the current local lineup. Reyes nor any members of the local team spared any details about the upcoming vehicles.

“Finalizations are still ongoing as to what the upcoming models will be, but rest assured that we will share them as soon as everything is set,” Reyes told Zigwheels Philippines.

However, we checked the Chongqing-headquartered marque’s website and learned that the covered vehicles have a strong resemblance to the offerings found on the Avatr and Deepal line.

Here are some bits about the two sub brands under Changan.

What is Avatr?

A premium electric vehicle (EV) brand, Avatr is the result of the collaboration of Changan Automobile, CATL, and Huawei — with the first two being biggest shareholders (40.99 and 14.1 percent, respectively). Its headquarters can also be found in Chongqing but has also established branches in Shanghai and Munich, Germany.

“Building on Changan Automobile’s manufacturing expertise and CATL’s breakthroughs in battery technology while integrating HUAWEI’s cutting-edge solutions for smart mobility, Avatr has established a new-generation intelligent EV technology platform characterized by its New Architecture, Powerful Computing, and High-voltage Charging capabilities,” the company stated on the website.

The company’s models in the lineup include:

• Avatr 012
• Avatr MMW
• Avatr 07
• Avatr 06
• Avatr 12
• Avatr 11

What is Deepal?

Another brand under the Changan group, Deepal offers electrified mobility in the mass-market segment.

Globally, the marque has the following models in its roster:

• Deepal G318
• Deepal S09
• Deepal S07
• Deepal S05
• Deepal L07

To note, these two brands are already in neighboring countries like Thailand, and Singapore.

Should such developments get completed the soonest, Changan Philippines’ arriving models might be unveiled within the first half of 2026.
