MAW Vriddhi Launches the Futuristic 2026 Deepal S05 Plus EV in Nepal

MAW Vriddhi, the authorized distributor of Deepal electric vehicles in Nepal, has officially commenced sales of the highly anticipated 2026 Deepal S05 Plus. Positioned as a complete smart luxury electric SUV, the S05 Plus blends cutting-edge technology, award-winning aesthetics, and top-tier safety standards to cater to the country’s increasingly discerning EV buyers.

As Nepal’s automotive landscape rapidly transitions toward sustainable mobility, the introduction of the Deepal S05 Plus raises the bar for what consumers can expect in terms of performance, charging speeds, and intelligent cabin features within the mid-size SUV segment.

Performance and Drivetrain: Built for the Enthusiast

Unlike many conventional electric SUVs in its class that rely on front-wheel-drive configurations, the 2026 Deepal S05 Plus features a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) setup. This mechanical layout optimizes weight distribution, offering superior traction, sharper handling, and a more engaging driving experience—particularly on Nepal’s winding hilly roads.

The vehicle is powered by a high-efficiency 99 kW electric motor that generates an impressive 320 Nm of instant torque. This powertrain allows the SUV to navigate steep climbs effortlessly while delivering a smooth, silent ride. On a single charge, the S05 Plus offers a driving range of up to 405 kilometers (WLTP cycle), making it highly practical for both daily city commutes and longer inter-city highway journeys.

Segment-Leading Charging Speeds and V2L Capability

One of the standout features of the Deepal S05 Plus is its advanced electrical architecture, which supports DC fast charging up to 151.5 kW. This allows the battery to charge from 30% to 80% in just 15 minutes, making it the fastest-charging EV in its segment. For drivers on the go, this minimizes charging downtime during highway road trips.

Additionally, the SUV comes equipped with a powerful 6 kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) system. This feature essentially turns the vehicle into a mobile power bank, allowing users to plug in and power heavy-duty external electrical appliances, camping gear, or emergency equipment directly from the car’s battery. This utility is bound to appeal to outdoor enthusiasts and campers exploring Nepal’s scenic destinations.

Award-Winning Design and Premium Cabin Experience

The aesthetic appeal of the Deepal S05 Plus has already received global recognition, winning the prestigious iF Design Award. The exterior profile is characterized by clean, aerodynamic lines, signature frameless doors, and flush-fitting door handles that automatically retract, giving the SUV a sleek, futuristic road presence while reducing aerodynamic drag.

Step inside, and the cabin exudes premium luxury. The dashboard is dominated by a massive 15.4-inch Full HD touchscreen infotainment system that controls almost all vehicle functions. The interior is further enhanced by:

  • An immersive 8-speaker Sony sound system tuned for acoustic clarity.
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for seamless smartphone connectivity.
  • A customizable 64-color ambient lighting system to set the mood for every drive.
  • An expansive panoramic sunroof that floods the cabin with natural light.

Smart Parking and High-Tech Connectivity

Deepal has integrated several segment-first technologies into the S05 Plus to simplify urban driving. The vehicle features a unique “Remote In and Out” smart parking system, allowing drivers to maneuver the car into tight parking spaces from the outside using a smartphone app or the smart key fob.

Storage is equally impressive, highlighted by a generous 159-liter front trunk (frunk) in addition to the standard rear cargo space, perfect for storing charging cables and smaller luggage. To ensure the vehicle remains smart and updated, it comes built with native 4G and 5G connectivity, keeping the navigation, infotainment, and over-the-air (OTA) software systems constantly connected to the internet.

Uncompromised Safety Standards

Safety remains a paramount focus for Deepal. The 2026 S05 Plus has achieved a prestigious 5-star safety rating under the stringent Euro NCAP crash testing protocols. According to the distributor, this rating is not merely a specification sheet highlight but a structural guarantee of passenger protection, backed by high-strength steel construction and a comprehensive suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

Pricing and Availability in Nepal

The 2026 Deepal S05 Plus is designed for buyers who refuse to compromise on performance, design, safety, or technological innovation. MAW Vriddhi has officially opened bookings and sales for this premium electric SUV across its nationwide dealership network.

The Deepal S05 Plus is launched in the Nepalese market at an aggressive introductory price of NPR 5,399,000 (Fifty-Three Lakhs Ninety-Nine Thousand Rupees), positioning it as a highly competitive and value-packed option in the rapidly growing premium EV segment.
