“In the future, we will not only provide leading smart car solutions to help partners build better intelligent vehicles, but also help them sell those through our retail network across China.”
As for the Seres SF95’s capabilities, it can run for over 1,000 km in extended-range mode using its 1.5-liter gasoline engine and electric motor, while a 150-km range is available when the car is in pure electric mode. Moreover, the SF95 is capable of going from 0 to 100 in just 4.68 seconds.
