Seres 5: electric crossover, versions and what buyers need to know
Seres 5 — the electric mid-size crossover from Chinese manufacturer Seres, which started selling in Europe in 2023. We look at what makes it special, which versions are on offer and what buyers need to know.
Seres 5 at a glance
The Seres 5 is an electric crossover measuring roughly 4.7 metres in length, boasting a modern design and a generous equipment list. It's offered with two drivetrain options — rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive — and is positioned as a relatively affordable electric vehicle with a large battery.
Seres is a new brand in Europe, so it's crucial to check servicing, spare parts and warranty before buying.
Versions and equipment
Three main versions are offered in Europe: the base rear-wheel drive model, and two all-wheel drive options — Premium and Flagship. All come with a generous standard equipment list, with the top-spec model notably more powerful.
The main differences between versions lie in the drivetrain, battery and comfort and driver assistance features.
Electric drivetrain and charging
The base model comes with an 80 kWh LFP battery and, according to the manufacturer, around 500 km of WLTP range. The top-spec all-wheel drive version boasts around 430 kW of power and very dynamic acceleration.
Real-world range depends on driving style, speed and weather conditions; it's lower in winter.
What to check when buying a used Seres 5
Check if the car has any remaining warranty, if it has been serviced according to schedule, and if the software has been updated. Ask for battery condition data and check for signs of accidents.
Test the fast charging and the operation of all driver assistance systems. Also, find out where you can get the car serviced and if any spare parts are needed.
