Ceres, DFSK’s electric vehicle brand, is soon introducing its new EV Ceres 3 to the Nepali market.
In Nepal, the Ceres 3 will be distributed by Theego Group, a business that has previously distributed DFSK’s electric mini van in the country.
Its size is comparable to that of DFSK’s Glory 580, making it a direct competitor to MG’s ZS EV in terms of performance.
This intelligent electric car was developed by the DFSK Group at the R&D Innovation Center in Santa Clara, California, and is powered by a lithium-ion battery.
The DFSK Seres 3 is a conventional-looking SUV with a total length of 4385 millimeters, a width of 1850 millimeters, and a height of 1650 millimeters.
It has a wheelbase of 2655 millimeters, which allows for plenty of space in both the front and back passenger compartments.
The front of the vehicle is dominated by a black meshwork grille with the Seres emblem printed on it, which is flanked by sleek LED headlights.
It also comes with two fog lights to help you navigate your way through inclement weather and darkness.
A dominant trunk gate and two elegant LED taillamps distinguish the SUV’s back end, while 18-inch alloy wheels emphasize the vehicle’s athletic nature.
The DFSK SERES 3 is powered by an electric motor that is powered by a lithium-ion battery that has a capacity of 53.6 kWh and can provide a maximum output of 163 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm.
With a top speed of 155 kilometers per hour, it takes this vehicle 8.9 seconds to reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour from a standstill.
It is equipped with a single-speed gearbox. The lithium-ion batteries have a high capacity for fast charging and can be charged easily and quickly using either an alternating current or a fast charger.
In addition to a Macpherson strut suspension up front, the vehicle also features a torsion beam semi-independent strut suspension at the rear axle.
It comes with a 10.25-inch floating infotainment system, a gear selector that works even after the car is started, heated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof, among other features.
The car, which is equipped with six airbags, lane departure warning, uphill and downhill assist, HSA, DHA, PEPS, TPMS, and cruise control, will have a range of 400 kilometers on a single charge for further safety.
Using a rapid DC charger for charging, it only takes 30 minutes to charge from 20% to 80% of the battery’s capacity.
