JAKARTA: Seres Group's new energy vehicle (NEV) brand DFSK has unveiled the right-hand drive E5 Plus plug-in hybrid SUV (sport utility vehicle) at the 2026 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS).
This is the model's first launch in a right-hand drive market following its debut in the 2026 International Automotive and Supply Chain Expo in Hong Kong.
The E5 Plus is said to combine long-range electrified performance, spacious comfort and intelligent technology.
Powered by the Seres Super Hybrid System, featuring a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine and a 25.3kWh battery, the E5 Plus delivers up to 140km (NEDC) of pure electric range.
For extended trips, the E5 Plus with a 60-litre petrol tank offers a combined driving range of up to 1,400km.
The Indonesian-spec E5 Plus features a six-seat configuration with independent second-row captain's seats.
An adaptive FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) suspension system further improves ride quality and handling.
The intelligent cockpit has also been localised for regional users, supporting five additional languages including Bahasa Indonesia, Thai, Malay, Vietnamese and Traditional Chinese.
Apple CarPlay and apps such as Spotify provides a familiar digital experience.
A suite of driver assistance features comes standard across the range, including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Centering Control (LCC) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW).
Supported by five millimeter-wave radars, 22 sensing units, a 360-degree surround-view camera and a transparent underbody view, the system helps drivers stay aware of their surroundings.
As the flagship model of DFSK's renewed global product lineup, the E5 Plus has already gained strong market recognition following its launches across North Africa and South America.
Since pre-sales opened in Indonesia, the E5 Plus has already received more than 1,200 pre-orders.
Production of the E5 Plus is supported by Seres Group's highly automated manufacturing facility in Indonesia, where the vehicle is locally assembled.
Speaking at the launch event, DFSK president Amy Gong said, "Through advanced new energy technologies, higher product quality and greater customer value, we are committed to delivering better mobility experiences while supporting the long-term growth of our dealers and partners."
"We first established our presence in Indonesia in 2017, and our long-term commitment to this market remains stronger than ever."
