How does it compare?
Range
With a splendid range of 500 km (310 miles), the SERES 5 confidently outstrips the Tesla Model Y at 488 km (303 miles), the Audi Q4 e-tron at 442 km (275 miles), the Ford Mustang Mach-E at 491 km (305 miles), and the Volkswagen ID.4 at 402 km (250 miles). On pure electric roam range, its an absolute winner.
Acceleration
A sprinter’s heart beats within the SERES 5, blasting from 0 to 100 km/h (0-60 mph) in just 4.7 seconds. This trails slightly behind the Tesla Model Y, which rockets in 4.4 seconds but is ahead of the Audi Q4 e-tron at 6.2 seconds, the Ford Mustang Mach-E clocking in at 5.8 seconds, and the Volkswagen ID.4 trailing at a more leisure-oriented 7.6 seconds.
Power
The SERES 5 flexes a muscular 342 horsepower, dwarfing the Volkswagen ID.4s 201 hp, the Audi Q4 e-trons 295 hp, but falling short of the brutish Tesla Model Y at a domineering 456 hp and the charging stallion Ford Mustang Mach-E at 346 hp. Its a finely tuned engine ready for both the boulevard and the backcountry.
Charging Time
The SERES 5s 88 kWh battery packs a punch, capable of DC fast charging from 10% to 80% in around 35 minutes. The Tesla Model Y edges it slightly with roughly 30 minutes, while the Audi Q4 e-tron and Ford Mustang Mach-E take close to 38 minutes, and the Volkswagen ID.4 falls behind at 40 minutes. It’s a close call, but the SERES 5 holds its ground respectably.
Price
At approximately USD 50,000 (£36,500 or €42,700), the SERES 5 asserts itself as a tantalizing package. The Tesla Model Y commands a steeper USD 58,000 (£42,340 or €49,580), the more luxurious Audi Q4 e-tron beckons at USD 55,000 (£40,150 or €46,910), the stylish Ford Mustang Mach-E asks for USD 52,000 (£37,940 or €44,300), and the wallet-friendly Volkswagen ID.4 rounds the list at USD 45,000 (£32,800 or €38,330). Its a close-knit race in the price department, but the SERES 5 makes a compelling case for value.
