Regal Automobiles is evidently gearing up to launch new electric and hybrid cars in Pakistan. The company released a teaser on its social media pages that hinted at the EV lineup’s imminent arrival.
The eagle-eyed enthusiasts will notice that the vehicle shown in the post is Seres S3 – an all-electric subcompact crossover SUV that borrows the design and architecture of the DFSK Glory 500. It currently has only one direct competitor in the Pakistani market — the MG ZS EV.
It has a single electric motor mounted on the front axle and a 52 kWh battery pack in the back. The electric motor makes 160 hp and 300 Nm of torque and offers a range between 230 km to 405 km depending on the driving style.
Seres S3 is loaded with modern features such as:
In China, the starting price of Seres S3 is equivalent to Rs. 5 million. It is unknown if Regal Automobiles will offer Seres S3 as a completely built-up (CBU) import or a locally assembled car in Pakistan. In both cases, however, its price in Pakistan will likely be much higher, following the imposition of import taxes.
