SERES, this brand may be unfamiliar to many people. It is a brand of Chongqing Jinkang SERES Automobile Co., Ltd. It is affiliated to Chongqing Xiaokang Industrial Group Co., Ltd. and focuses on the R&D and production of new energy vehicles. It is also a beautiful business card of "Made in Chongqing".
What we test drive today is precisely the SERES SF5 four-wheel drive high-performance model officially launched at the Chongqing Auto Show on June 13 this year. It sells for 33.9 Ten thousand yuan. This move also officially sounded the clarion call for Cyrus SF5 to enter the market.
The SERES SF5 pure electric coupe SUV is the first new electric coupe of SERES. It has the agile styling of a coupe and is comparable to the Porsche Macan and Tesla Model?S. Extremely fast performance.
From the appearance point of view, the highlight is concentrated on the design of the front face. The "Polestar Lightning" SIGMA family-style LED daytime running lights are very eye-catching when lit, covering the entire outline of the front of the car. , the incised simple front face and the diamond matrix grille make the vehicle highlight the avant-garde design concept.
Headlights with HMA adaptive high and low beam adjustment function can effectively ensure the driver's observation field of vision and protect the driving safety of oncoming vehicles when driving at night.
The design of the rear of the car also retains a sense of technology. The rounded shape makes the tail very full. The integrated through design combines the tail lights. The design of the internal lights is also quite particular, and the overall feeling has a certain degree of visual ductility.
In order not to damage the overall shape of the tail, the location of the trunk opening button is also carefully designed under the wiper. (It’s really hard to find without spending a lot of trouble).
The interior design focuses on the large multimedia screen in the middle. This screen concentrates most of the vehicle's functions, such as multimedia audio and video, vehicle driving mode, air conditioning, energy consumption management, etc., and the central control Taiwan's T-shaped embracing cockpit is equipped with a horizontally layered design, giving it a simple style that young people like, without losing the sense of technology.
In addition to the deep black for this test drive, the interior color options include ivory white and saddle brown.
It can be observed from the details that the hidden air outlet does not have a physical adjustment button. For this reason, the Cyrus SF5 has all electric wind direction adjustments.
The floating central control screen and shift knob reserve a large storage space in the middle, and wallets and mobile phones can be easily stored during use.
The integrated all-in-one smart sports seats of Cyrus SF5 are also worth experiencing. Its main and passenger seats have 12-way electric adjustment, and the front seats can be heated through the large screen/ Ventilation/massage and other function options. In terms of comfort, it is lacking due to the positioning biased towards sports, but the wrapping and leg support that a sports seat should have are very good.
As for power, the Cyrus SF5 uses an extended-range electric platform. Extending the range not only increases the cruising range of electric vehicles, but also effectively solves the problem of range anxiety of electric vehicles while ensuring the electric driving experience. The main drive structure of the vehicle is composed of a range extender (engine generator), battery pack, and drive motor. The Cyrus SF5 tested this time is its four-wheel drive high-performance version, so the car has two drive motors, which are responsible for the power output of the front/rear wheels respectively.
The range extender equipped on this car is composed of a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a maximum generator power of 90kW. The drive motor code-named EVR200 has reached a maximum power of 255kW and a peak torque of 520N·m. Combining the above power, the maximum power of the extended-range model is 510kW and the peak torque is 1040N·m, which can accelerate to 100 kilometers in 4.8 seconds.
The Cyrus SF5 can travel 150 kilometers on pure electricity. When the battery is insufficient, the 57L fuel capacity can provide a longer extended range, making it possible to use electricity even when there is no electricity. The driving experience of using oil completely relieves drivers' worries about the low battery of pure electric vehicles.
Write to the end:
In my opinion, Cyrus SF5 is positioned as a high-end electric vehicle and focuses on the smart travel market. Although the brand is not well-known, the manufacturing process of its products is not high. And technical strength cannot be underestimated. Excellent chassis tuning, sporty integrated seats, precise steering and acceleration performance comparable to that of a supercar have given it the reputation of a driver's car. For consumers who want to choose an electric model with great performance and worry-free mileage, the Cyrus SF5 can be considered to be added to the car purchase list.
