We propose a novel coupled dark energy model which is assumed to occur as a $q$-deformed scalar field and investigate whether it will provide an expanding universe phase. We consider the $q$-deformed dark energy as coupled to dark matter inhomogeneities. We perform the phase-space analysis of the model by numerical methods and find the late-time accelerated attractor solutions. The attractor solutions imply that the coupled $q$-deformed dark energy model is consistent with the conventional dark energy models satisfying an acceleration phase of universe. At the end, we compare the cosmological parameters of deformed and standard dark energy models and interpret the implications.
