The New Green Brigade: EarthOne!
Hey eco‑fans, AsiaOne just rolled out a fresh kitchen‑size section called EarthOne. Think of it as the diary of our planet, where every page is inked with science and a whole lot of love for Earth.
A Tale of Two Cars (Almost)
Picture this: a modern, sleek sedan that you’d think was born at the intersection of a lab and a garage, yet it’s not a Huawei brand, and it doesn’t giggle all the way to zero emissions.
- Auto Shanghai 2021 served as the launchpad for this quirky marvel, dubbed the SERES SF5.
- The car’s vibe? It’s “extended‑range” with a pretty poetic twist— it gives you those long drives without a frantic hunt for a charging spot.
- Locally, it’s rocking the China flagship stores in full gear. The price tags? $50,400 for the four‑wheel‑drive swagger and $44,300 for the less‑intimidating two‑wheel‑drive version.
Why the Mystery?
It’s like a hidden treasure chest: the chassis is engineered by Huawei, but the branding sneaks away with a subtle grin—no “Huawei” logo, no mirror‑shattering LEDs. So, it’s technically an electric car hat‑in‑the-works that refuses to take the full electric plunge.
Feel the Impact
Peel back the layers of the SERES SF5 and you’ll catch a zest for planet‑friendly driving. The car’s mission? To reviver the street with a lighter, cleaner heartbeat—one, two, or all four wheels that care about the environment.
So next time you hunt for an electric ride, remember the SERES SF5 as your friendly, not‑quite‑full‑protractor cousin to the tech giant’s brainchild of eco‑driving. Happy exploring, earthlings!
Meet the SERES SF5: Huawei’s Hybrid Wonder
When a Chinese auto maker and a tech giant team up, you get a car that’s as cutting‑edge as it is fun to drive. The SF5 by SERES isn’t just another SUV—it’s a sleek hybrid powered by Huawei’s DriveONE Three‑in‑One Electric Drive System and a smidge of petrol magic.
Powertrain Parlay
Think of it as a secret superhero identity: the car can cruise on pure electric power for around 180 km on a single charge. When the battery sighs and you need a boost, the little 1.5‑litre, 4‑cylinder petrol engine steps in to charge the battery pack, giving you an extra over 1,000 km of driving range.
This arrangement is a close cousin of the Nissan Kicks E‑Power drivetrain, but SERES brands it as the parallel hybrid magic of the future.
Performance Highlights
- Two electric motors together spit out a staggering 543 bhp.
- Torque? A whopping 820 Nm.
- 0–100 km/h in just 4.68 seconds—that’s faster than your morning coffee can finish.
Chassis & Suspension Chic
The SF5’s lightweight aluminium chassis keeps the car loping rather than lumbering. Coupled with a four‑ball‑joint double‑wishbone front suspension and a trapezoidal multi‑link rear design, you’re in for a ride that feels like a dance on a gravel strip.
Smart Tech: The HiCar Experience
Forget the usual fussy “Apple CarPlay” or “Android Auto” jargon. The SF5 ships with Huawei’s Harmony OS–based HiCar system. While you won’t see the familiar icons, you’ll get a massive portrait‑style touchscreen that connects your phone apps to the car with silky ease.
Navigate, crank up your playlist, or check the weather—just a swipe away. It’s like having your phone’s best buddy parked right beside you, ready to roll with the beat.
What It Feels Like
Driving the SF5 is an experience that feels both futuristic and grounded. The immediate electric punch, followed by the gentle, silent energy from the gasoline engine, makes it feel like a five‑minute ramp-up before you’re left with a smooth, quiet ride that’s as energetic as a morning espresso.
In short, the SERES SF5, powered by Huawei, is a hybrid that’s ready to turn heads, pound the accelerator, and keep you connected—all in one harmonious package.
