The new Seres 3 is heading to UK showrooms this spring with prices starting from £29,995.
It makes the Chinese-made EV one of the cheapest battery-powered SUVs on the market, undercutting rivals like the MG ZS EV.
Just two specifications will be available – Active and Spirit – with all versions getting 18-inch alloy wheels and front and rear LED lights. Other standard features include keyless start, a reversing camera and air conditioning, as well as a 10.25-inch infotainment system. Step up to Spirit grade – priced from £31,995 – and extras such as a panoramic sunroof and wireless phone charging are added as standard.
All versions of the Seres 3 use the same 54kWh battery which can deliver up to 205 miles of range, while a 20 to 80 per cent charge can be conducted in 30 minutes when hooked up to a rapid charger. A 120kW electric motor can take the Seres 3 from 0-60mph in under nine seconds, too.
The 3 will act as the opening vehicle from Seres in the UK, arriving alongside a number of other Chinese-made rivals from the likes of BYD and Chery.
