The highly anticipated New Seres 3 Electric SUV has officially launched in Nepal. MAW Vriddhi Autocorp, the authorised distributor of Seres electric vehicles (EVs) in Nepal, has introduced the latest iteration of the Seres 3 EV in Nepal.

The latest iteration features the same electric motor and core features, with subtle design updates distinguishing it from its predecessors.
The updated Seres 3 sports a fresh exterior design that gives it a more standout and robust look. It comes with a redesigned front bumper featuring 'Seres' lettering instead of the logo.

Inside, it offers heated front seats with 6-way adjustable driver and co-driver seats, electrically adjustable outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs), one-touch powered windows, and the widest sunroof available in its class.
The new Seres 3 prioritizes safety with a comprehensive suite of advanced features.
