Deepal S05 Earns 5 Euro NCAP Stars: An In-Depth Look at Its Proven Safety

Safety is one of the top priorities for Thai families when choosing a new car. Deepal S05 earned the top rating of 5 stars from Euro NCAP under the 2025 test protocols, among the strictest in the world. The result applies to every Deepal S05 and is a meaningful reference for anyone considering a mid-budget electric SUV.

Scores by category

• Adult occupant protection 94%
• Child occupant protection 87%
• Vulnerable road user protection such as pedestrians and cyclists: 78%
• Safety assist systems 76%

The adult protection score of 94% was also highlighted in Euro NCAP's late-2025 results summary, and the car achieved full marks in the side barrier and pole impact tests

Child safety highlights

For families with children, this category is especially interesting. The Deepal S05 achieved full marks in the frontal and side impact tests using 6- and 10-year-old child dummies. It has Isofix and i-Size child seat anchorages in several positions, every tested child seat can be installed easily, and it features a child presence detection alert, a particularly valuable feature in Thailand's hot climate.

Driver Assistance and Surround Sensors

According to Changan Europe, the European Deepal S05 comes with 17 driver-assistance features as standard on every trim, supporting Level 2 driver assistance with a total of 14 sensors: 6 ultrasonic radars, 3 millimeter-wave radars, 4 surround-view cameras and 1 high-resolution camera. Equipment on models sold in Thailand may differ according to market specifications, so please check the details of each trim with your dealer.

What It Means for Buyers in Thailand

Although Euro NCAP tested European-spec cars, the body structure and fundamental safety design share the same platform, and some of the Deepal S05s exported to Europe are built at the Rayong plant. This result is therefore a confirmation of engineering quality that Thai buyers can factor into their decision, alongside other considerations such as warranty, service network and suitability for their needs.

It is also important to understand that active safety systems are there to assist, not to replace the driver. Getting familiar with the warning settings from the day you take delivery, such as the sensitivity of the collision warning and how lane keeping assist works, helps you get the most from them and reduces unnecessary alerts. Motor Creation's delivery team will gladly explain these settings in detail.
