Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Seres 3 is a B-segment electric SUV with five seats, aimed at buyers who want a compact EV rather than a larger family crossover. It launches in Malaysia in 2025 in a single EV form, priced from RM95,000, with a 53.6 kWh battery, 161 hp motor and 340 km claimed range.

3 in 2026 — what's new

The Seres 3 carries on into 2026 unchanged; there is no 2026-specific update announced. The Malaysian range remains a single Seres 3 EV, with a 53.6 kWh battery, a 161 hp electric motor, single-ratio automatic transmission and five seats. Availability is limited to 10 units, so this is a small-scale local introduction rather than a broad multi-variant line-up.

Verdict

The Seres 3 presents a straightforward specification: five seats, 161 hp and a 340 km claimed range from a 53.6 kWh battery. Its RM95,000 price sits between the RM80,000 Perodua QV-E and the RM100,000 BYD Atto 2. But the allocation is just 10 units, and the one-variant range leaves little scope to tailor equipment or budget.
