Deepal has opened reservations in Argentina for the S05, a C-segment plug-in hybrid SUV and the Chinese brand’s first model for the local market. Grupo Antelo presented the vehicle at Expo Auto Chino in Buenos Aires, held from October 2 to 4, 2026. The promotional preorder price is USD 34,000, with the reservation campaign running through October and retail sales expected to start before year-end.

Its powertrain pairs a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine rated at 86 CV and 122 Nm with a front-mounted electric motor. The stated combined output is 218 CV and 320 Nm, driving the front wheels through a single-speed automatic transmission. A 18.4-kWh battery provides a claimed electric-only range of up to 100 kilometres; AC charging is rated at 6.6 kW.
The Argentina specification includes a 15.4-inch touchscreen with 2.5K resolution, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a suite of driver-assistance systems.
