What is the Seres 3?
The Seres 3 is a compact electric SUV. Its raised body and practical format suit everyday family use, while its electric drive reflects Seres’s focus on battery-powered passenger cars. The brand grew out of the automotive businesses associated with Dongfeng Motor and Sokon, and its European offering brought Chinese-built electric models to buyers on the continent.
The first generation is listed from 2020 to 2026. In EU/EEA registration figures, the Seres 3 appears from 2023 through 2025. It was also known in Europe in connection with DFSK, the name used by the Dongfeng Sokon business.
Engines and power
The European versions are electric, with a single stated output: 120 kW (163 PS). That makes the range straightforward to understand: the listed versions share the same power figure rather than offering a spread of engine sizes or outputs.
There is no combustion engine in the versions covered by the European registration figures. For buyers comparing specifications, the exact version still matters for equipment and other details, while the power figure remains consistent across the listed versions.
How efficient is the Seres 3?
The European registration figures identify the Seres 3 as electric but do not state official energy consumption or CO₂ ratings. Electric-car consumption is normally measured in kWh per 100 km, and the result depends on the test procedure used. European figures can use WLTP or the older NEDC procedure; the two are not directly interchangeable.
The model’s electric powertrain has no tailpipe CO₂ emissions. That is different from a full lifecycle assessment, which would also account for electricity generation and vehicle production.
Where was the Seres 3 sold?
The market figures cover EU/EEA registrations from 2023 through 2025. They record three electric versions, all rated at 120 kW (163 PS), and 401 registrations in total. The largest annual entry was 2025, with 262 registrations; the figures also show registrations in 2024 and 2023.
The Seres 3 was part of the marque’s early European electric-SUV presence. Its place in the line-up was that of a compact, all-electric SUV, rather than a conventional petrol or diesel family car.
