Which automaker does Seres belong to?
2 Answers
Seres is a brand under Chongqing Jinkang Seres Automobile Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Chongqing Sokon Industrial Group Co., Ltd., specializing in the field of new energy electric vehicles. Here is relevant information about Seres: Products: The Seres Huawei Smart Selection SF5 is the industry's first electric vehicle sold through Huawei's channels. It is equipped with Huawei's DriveONE three-in-one electric drive system, HUAWEI HiCar full-scenario intelligent connectivity system, and features HUAWEI SOUND® full-link professional acoustic optimization. Positioned as a high-performance electric coupe SUV, it boasts a peak power of 405kW, maximum torque of 820N·m, 0-100km/h acceleration in 4.68 seconds, and a combined range of over 1,000km on a full charge and full tank. Brand Mission: "Driving the transformation of automotive energy, creating and sharing a smart mobile life."
Seres is a Chinese automotive company under Chongqing Sokon Industrial Group, which primarily focused on commercial vehicles before transitioning to new energy vehicles. I recall that starting in 2021, Seres partnered with Huawei to launch the AITO brand, introducing electric vehicles like the AITO M5, which suddenly became a hit. The reason it's considered part of Chongqing Sokon is that the company is headquartered in Chongqing—it's not the largest but quite ambitious. Initially, Seres' own SF model received lukewarm responses, but leveraging Huawei's technology and brand, it quickly gained popularity and has now become a key player in China's smart EV market. From my perspective, this is particularly fascinating as it highlights how crucial traditional automakers' transformations are. The rise of Seres not only gives consumers more choices but also intensifies competition in the automotive market, especially after the launch of new models. Discussions about their range and smart features suggest strong potential. In the future, they plan to expand production capacity, and I expect we'll see more innovative products.
