Seres 5 Overview: Specs, Generations and Which Version to Buy
Full seres 5 specs breakdown: five-door SUV built since 2019, 295 to 694 hp, with generation-by-generation guidance on which version to choose.
The Seres 5 is a five-door SUV produced from 2019 to the present, offered with outputs from 295 to 694 hp across four modifications. Its seres 5 specs span pure electric rear-wheel-drive versions and range-extended 1.5-litre all-wheel-drive variants, so it suits both drivers who want an efficient electric SUV and those chasing sports-car acceleration in a family body.
Seres 5 generations
1 generation (2019–present)
The first and only generation of the Seres 5 has been built since 2019 as a five-door SUV. It counts 4 modifications, all with an automatic transmission, in either 4x4 or rear-wheel-drive form, covering a power range from 295 to 694 hp. The lineup splits into two families: pure electric versions — the AT (295 hp) with RWD and the AT (576 hp) with 4x4 — and versions with a 1498 cc 1.5-litre engine, the RWD 1.5 AT (348 hp) and the 4x4 1.5 AT (694 hp). The Seres 5 AT (576 hp) accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, making it the quickest of the four, while the flagship 1.5 AT (694 hp) does the sprint in 4.8 seconds with a rated consumption of 1.2 l/100 km.
Which Seres 5 to buy
- AT (576 hp) (1 generation): the volume choice and the fastest Seres 5 — 4.2 seconds to 100 km/h with electric 4x4 drive.
- 1.5 AT (694 hp) (1 generation): the most powerful version at 694 hp, combining a 1498 cc engine with 4x4 and 4.8 seconds to 100 km/h.
- 1.5 AT (348 hp) (1 generation): the efficiency pick — 1.2 l/100 km rated consumption while still reaching 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds.
- AT (295 hp) (1 generation): the newest addition — a 295 hp electric RWD version that matches the 348 hp car's 6.8-second sprint.
Buying used is straightforward with the Seres 5: every car belongs to the same 1 generation running from 2019 to the present, so there are no cross-generation compatibility questions — the main choice is simply between the electric versions and the 1.5-litre 348/694 hp variants.
Which Seres 5 to avoid
The numbers show no dominated version outright, but note that the Seres 5 AT (295 hp) posts the same 6.8-second acceleration as the 1.5 AT (348 hp) despite 53 hp less — if outright output matters to you, compare those two versions carefully before choosing.
