DFSK has already launched an electric vehicle named Tourer 250 in Pakistan in association with GUGU Motors (not with Regal Automobiles). It was the first electric commercial vehicle introduced in Pakistan. This time, DFSK has introduced its electric SUV SERES 3 (CKD) in association with Regal Automobiles. It will mainly compete with the MG ZS EV & MG 4 EV. Keep in mind that the DFSK SERES 3 price in Pakistan is lower than both electric cars.
