Earlier this week, Huawei announced that it would be launching new cars from the Chinese car maker, SERES, on its official flagship stores in China. This marks the entry of automobiles in its flagship stores, which can be seen as an expansion of the company’s “1+8+N” ecosystem.
Richard Yu, Executive Director and CEO of the Consumer Business Group of the Chinese tech giant stated that “This exciting announcement sets a precedent for both the consumer electronics industry and the new energy vehicle industry. 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 vehicles through our retail network across China.”
The new car model also arrives as an answer to consumers concerns regarding range and recharging of electric vehicles. To address this, the new SERES SF5 car arrives with a new electric drive range extension system, which has been developed by Huawei. This technology is called the DriveONE Three-in-One Electric Drive system that can deliver “world-class coupe performance.” The SERES SF5 has a range of 180 kilometers in the pure electric mode to meet the daily needs of city travelers. Although, it also features an extended range mode that has a range of over 1,000 kilometers for long distance travelers as well. Notably, the car is even capable of reaching 100 km/h acceleration in just 4.68 seconds.
The car is built from a lightweight aluminum chasis and also features the Huawei HiCar system, which enables it to be connected to other smart devices. The new car model will be available for sale on the flagship store starting from April 21 and will go for 246,800 Yuan (roughly 38,000 US Dollars) for the four wheel drive variant and 216,800 Yuan (roughly 33,377 US Dollars) for the two wheel drive variant. The car is also available in multiple color variants including Deep Ocean Blue, Charcoal Black, Pearl White and Titanium Silver Grey – along with Midnight Black, Garnet Red, and Ivory White interior trim.
