Seres models

Who is Seres?

Seres is a Chinese automotive brand within Seres Group, a company that grew from Sokon Group and has roots in vehicle manufacturing. The group makes both conventional vehicles and new energy vehicles, with Seres focused on electric passenger cars. Its European range in these years is centred on SUVs, giving the name a clear identity for drivers looking at electric family and everyday transport.

Which Seres models appear in Europe?

The European Union registration picture covers three model names. DFSK appears first, in 2020–2021, followed by the Seres 3 and Seres 5, both present from 2023 to 2025. The Seres 3 is an electric SUV; the Seres 5 is also offered as an electric SUV. That makes the later Seres-branded range easy to read: two SUV lines, with the 3 as the more compact option and the 5 positioned above it.

The names also show a change in presentation. The earlier DFSK entry reflects the group’s broader vehicle identity, while the later models put Seres at the front. The European range represented here moves from that earlier entry to a pair of electric SUVs.

How has the Seres range developed?

In official EU registration figures, the Seres 5 is the most registered of these models, with 952 registrations in 2023–2025. The Seres 3 follows with 401 over the same period. The earlier DFSK entry recorded 36 registrations in 2020–2021. These figures trace a change in the cars appearing under the make: from a small earlier presence to two Seres SUVs, with the 5 leading the later registrations.

The Seres 3 and 5 run across the same years in this period, so the range develops by adding a second electric SUV rather than replacing the 3. The names suggest a simple hierarchy, though the registration figures alone do not describe differences in equipment or driving character.

Where are Seres cars recorded?

The market represented here is the European Union, using EEA registration figures. Seres is an international-facing brand, but these figures give a specifically European view of the models and years listed. Fuel consumption and emissions figures can depend on the test cycle used: European figures may use WLTP or the older NEDC procedure, while the USA uses EPA testing and Canada uses its 5-cycle procedure. Results from different systems should not be treated as directly equivalent.
