The Landian E5 Plus PHEV crossover from Seres was revealed in official images. This car applied for the sales license in August, revealing specs. Its sales start is scheduled for this month. Moreover, Seres also actively exports Landian cars. So, the Landian E5 Plus can turn into a global model.
Seres launched Landian in early 2023. The Landian E5 plug-in hybrid SUV (see specs) with BYD’s DM tech on board became the launch car of this brand. It is a mid-size crossover based on the petrol-powered Fengon 580. The price range of the Landian E5 is 99,800 – 151,900 yuan (14,150 – 21,550 USD). From January to August 2024, it sold 18,974 cars. Lader, the Ladnian E3 (see specs) entered China. The third Landian’s model is the E5 Plus.
Landian E5 Plus official images
The Landian E5 Plus wears a deep green shade in the official images. Its front end seemingly differs from the E5 crossover. It has a closed front end with no radiator grille. A sizeable air intake in the front bumper will keep the engine cool. The rectangular headlights of the Landian E5 Plus remained the same as the E5. An LED strip joins headlamps.
Because of the adjusted front end, the Landian E5 Plus looks quite similar to the Aito M7 SUV (see specs). It isn’t surprising that Seres assembles both of these vehicles. Moreover, they both are based on Fengon-branded cars: 580 and ix7. The Landian E5 Plus adopts conventional door handles and side-view mirrors. From the back, the Landian E5 Plus has a single taillight unit, a modest rear bumper, and a small roof spoiler.
The Landian E5 Plus instrument panel has a large suspended screen and a small LCD instrument cluster. Its steering wheel has three spokes and a D-shape. The gear shifter sits behind the wheel. Its center tunnel has two wireless charging pads and a pair of cup holders. Other features of the E5 Plus are seven seats (2+3+2) and a large sunroof.
Landian E5 Plus specs
The Landian E5 Plus measures 4760/1865/1710 mm with a wheelbase of 2785 mm. Its wheel options are R17, R18 and R19. The biggest difference between the E5 and E5 Plus is the powertrain. It switched from BYD’s DM system to PHEV tech from Seres. Under the hood, it has a 1.5-liter H15R naturally aspirated engine that produces 70 kW (94 hp). Its fuel consumption is 0.92 L/100km. However, it consumes 5.6 L/100 km with a drained battery.
The Landian E5 Plus has an electric motor with a peak power of 160 kW (215 hp). The first Landian model has an e-motor for 130 kW (174 hp). On board, the Landian E5 Plus has a Gotion-made LFP battery with a capacity of 18.4 kWh. Its all-electric range reaches 90 km. The mixed range was previously rumored to be around 1,300 km.
The Landian E5 Plus will enter the market later in September. Its price range has yet to be revealed. We at CarNewsChina expect that this car will be slightly cheaper than the Landian E5 since it uses a Seres in-house-developed powertrain.
