Overview
Dongfeng Sokon (DFSK), is not stopping there. The second-biggest Chinese automaker intends to introduce two additional SUVs into the recently formed and really popular crossover SUV in Pakistan. The national car news platforms said Pakistan would receive two SUVs: one is Hybrid Electric and the other battery electric.
One of the two SUVs is the electric-powered SERES S3, which is owned by SERES and manufactured by Chongqing Sokon Industry Group, the parent company of DFSK. And the other is Mini EV E4.
DFSK New EVs in Pakistan
Seres 3
The all-electric DFSK SERES 3 subcompact SUV will fiercely rival the MG ZS EV. Its design looks similar to that of the DFSK Glory 500. There won’t be as much competition for the DFSK SERES 3 because all-electric SUVs are uncommon in Pakistani markets.
Exterior
With dimensions of 1850 millimeters for width, 1650 millimeters for height, and 4385 millimeters for total length, the DFSK Seres 3 is an SUV with a usual appearance. With a 2655-millimeter wheelbase, the passenger compartment is roomy both upfront and along the back. The sleek LED headlights are complemented by a black meshwork grille that features the Seres logo. In order to light your way in thunder or foggy weather, it also features two foglights. With its imposing trunk gate and two svelte LED taillamps, the rear has a classic SUV appearance. Its sporty aspect is further enhanced by the 18-inch alloy wheels.
Interior
The DFSK Seres 3’s cabin is roomy, offering plenty of headroom and legroom for tall passengers to fit comfortably. There is enough room for five adults to sit comfortably, and the leather-covered seats give the cabin an upscale appearance and enhance passenger comfort. The driver’s seat is sufficiently comfortable, and the front seats have heating and electric indentation features, so the driver does not become fatigued on lengthy road trips.
Though it is much smaller, the trunk has a 318-liter capacity, which rises to 1500 liters when the back seats are folded. There are physical buttons on the dashboard, and the steering wheel cannot be adjusted in depth. The dashboard is equipped with a 10.25-inch touchscreen that is compatible with smartphones. An electrically operated panoramic sunroof lets in more natural light and fresh air into the cabin.
Performance
The DFSK Seres S3 has a front axle electric motor and a 52KWh battery pack with a maximum range of 405 kilometers. The car can generate 300 Newton meters (Nm) of torque and 160 horsepower (hp).
Mini EV E4
Powered by a lithium-ion battery rated at 96V, the Wuling Mini EV runs entirely on electricity. The battery has a 144Ah capacity and takes 8 to 9 hours to fully charge at level 2. Its maximum power and speed are 20 kW and 100 km/h, respectively. Four people may fit in the Mini EV, which also comes equipped with standard equipment including power windows, air conditioning, a stereo, storage, and compartments. The Mini EV comes equipped with anti-lock brakes, tire pressure monitoring sensors, and rear parking sensors as standard safety features. The Wuling Mini EV has a bumper-to-bumper guarantee that lasts for two years and 25,000 miles. Early models did not have driver airbags.
Price & Launch
DFSK Seres S3 is projected to cost between Rs. 5 and 6 million in Pakistan, depending on the current exchange rate used to translate the car’s Chinese price. But because of the nation’s worsening economic situation and rising inflation, the DFSK New EVs will cost more when it is released. However, the cost of the MINI EV E4 is probably going to exceed Rs. 2.5 million. Although some sources suggest the car could be released for Rs. 1.5 million, this is quite doubtful.
Regal Automobiles and SF Motors plan to launch DFSK New EVs in September 2023 for which CBU units have already been shipped. September is when reservations for CKD units will open, and December is when delivery of the units will commence. The CKD procedures for DFSK New EVs will start in November 2023.
