The Singapore Motorshow will be held from Jan 9 to 12 at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Deepal will be the 12th Chinese EV brand to be introduced in Singapore. Its first model to be launched here will be the S07, an electric sport utility vehicle (SUV), which is about the same size as the Tesla Model Y.
Deepal's showroom will be located at 281 Alexandra Road, in the space that used to be occupied by Audi.
Premium Automobiles has two other Chinese EV brands in its stable, Xpeng and Zeekr.
Pricing details and specifications of the S07, which has yet to be approved for sale here, are not yet available.
The distributor has also not shared its plans for other Deepal models.
In Australia, the Deepal S07 is powered by a single 160kW motor, with an operating range of up to 475km before the batteries need to be recharged.
This is less powerful than similarly sized SUVs like the Tesla Model Y and Volkswagen ID.4 that have 210kW, but the operating range is comparable.
Some versions of the S07 sold in China have driving assistance features that are powered by technology company Huawei. Deepal also counts Chinese battery company CATL as its development partner.
