MARSHALL ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP WITH CHANGAN

Marshall Motor Group is delighted to announce a new partnership with Changan UK, a subsidiary of the global car manufacturer and pioneer in sustainable mobility. Changan is one of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers, this alliance further strengthening our commitment to providing customer access to innovative, technology-led vehicles.

The partnership will initially see Marshall represent Changan in Braintree, Essex, offering customers access to the brand’s growing range of advanced electric and electrified vehicles, supported by expert sales and aftersales services.

Changan is one of China’s leading automotive groups, with a global heritage spanning more than four decades and annual vehicle sales exceeding 2.9 million units. The company has established a strong international presence through extensive research and development (R&D) operations, including a long-standing engineering and R&D centre in Birmingham, UK.

The brand officially entered the UK market for vehicle sales in September 2025 by introducing the all-electric Changan DEEPAL S07 SUV, which signalled their ambition to become a major force in the new energy vehicle sector. Designed with European customers in mind, Changan’s products combine advanced technology, contemporary design and a strong focus on quality, safety and value.

Trevor Fussey, Managing Director of Marshall Motor Group, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Changan to our growing brand portfolio. As the automotive market continues to evolve, our customers are looking for innovative, technology-rich vehicles that deliver exceptional value and ownership experience. Changan is a globally recognised manufacturer with an impressive track record of engineering excellence. We are excited to support their continued growth in the UK market.”

Trevor added: “This partnership reflects our commitment to offering customers greater choice across the latest generation of electric and electrified vehicles. We look forward to working closely with the Changan team and introducing the brand to both existing and new customers.”

Nic Thomas, Managing Director of Changan UK, said: “We are proud to be partnering with Marshall Motor Group as we continue to introduce Changan to customers across the UK. With nearly 117 years of heritage and a strong reputation for exceptional customer service, Marshall Motor Group is an ideal partner to support our next phase of growth.

As one of China’s most established and innovative automotive manufacturers, we are committed to bringing UK drivers high-quality, thoughtfully designed vehicles that deliver real-world practicality and enjoyment. We look forward to working closely with the Marshall team as we build our presence in the UK and offer customers a compelling new choice in the EV and hybrid market.”
