Seres Mini EV

The Seres Mini EV, reintroduced to Nepal by MAW Vriddhi Autocorp, marks its return with a more refined value proposition in the affordable electric city car segment. Priced between Rs. 17.49 Lakhs and Rs. 18.99 Lakhs, it comes in two fully-loaded trims with enhanced range and features. Globally known as DFSK Candy or Seres E1, the Mini EV is built for urban agility and cost-efficient electric mobility. This small yet capable EV features a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) with 25 kW (180 km) or 30 kW (220 km) configurations, paired with 13.8 kWh and 16.8 kWh LFP batteries respectively. It adheres to modern emission-free mobility with a top speed of 100 km/h, making it one of Nepal’s most accessible electric vehicles backed by a 6-year/120,000 km battery warranty.

Seres Mini EV Performance

The Seres Mini EV is tailored for urban use, focusing on light city commutes and compact maneuverability. The 180 Km Full Option variant delivers 34 PS of power and 110 Nm of torque, powered by a 25 kW motor. On the other hand, the 220 Km Full Option steps it up with 41 PS and the same torque using a 30 kW motor. While it offers Eco and Sport driving modes, its performance remains best within city speed limits. At higher speeds (above 60 km/h), NVH levels increase, slightly compromising ride refinement, but for short-range use, it performs adequately with nimble handling.

Seres Mini EV Design

The Seres Mini EV features a clean and youthful boxy design that blends function with urban flair. The front houses bubble-shaped halogen headlamps, integrated side indicators, and a centrally mounted Seres logo that opens the charging port. The 13-inch alloy wheels, oversized doors, roof rails, and tallboy silhouette make it look playful yet practical. At the rear, LED taillights and minimalist lines give it a compact and modern appearance. Despite its small footprint, the design offers surprising road presence and high maneuverability in tight spaces.

Inside, the Seres Mini EV feels more premium than expected in this price range. The cabin features fabric-upholstered tall seats, a single-spoke steering wheel with mounted controls, and a neatly integrated 8.8-inch infotainment display alongside a 7-inch instrument cluster. HVAC controls are touch-based and placed below the AC vents in a glossy finish. The rear seats are 50:50 foldable, enabling practical storage solutions in a tight package. Overall, it offers a surprisingly tech-friendly and roomy interior for a compact EV.

Seres Mini EV comes with a decent range of safety features, especially in the 220 Km variant which includes advanced aids like Electronic Stability Control and Auto Hold. Entry-level safety includes ABS with EBD, driver airbag, and reverse camera, ensuring city driving peace of mind.
