April 26, 2025 at 14:01 by More: Xiaomi’s Electric SUV Is Bigger Than New Tesla Model Y And Has More Range Cargo space is also firmly in Tesla’s favor. Officially, the Model Y can swallow 29 cubic feet (822 liters) in the rear boot and another 4.1 cubic feet (114 liters) in the frunk. Tesla’s habit of measuring up to the roof inflates those numbers a bit, but the advantage remains clear. The Seres 5 has a boot capacity rating of 13 cubic feet (367 lt), with the frunk contributing another 2.4 cubic feet (67 lt). In reality, the difference with the Tesla is not that huge, but it is noticeable. Overall, I found the Model Y to be more suitable for family use, especially if you add the convenience of the longer driving range and the faster DC charging capabilities (250 kW compared to 100 kW). Ride Comfort: The Seres 5 Feels Like An Electric Grand Tourer Driving the two EVs back to back made it clear that the Seres 5 has the most comfortable and refined ride. The plush suspension absorbs road imperfections in a nicer way than the Tesla which can feel harsh in comparison. The Seres also has a smoother power delivery – especially in the EV and Comfort modes – rounding up it’s friendly road manners. Furthermore, the cabin of the Seres is a bit more quiet, although we didn’t get the chance to test both vehicles on longer journeys on the highway. Driving Dynamics: The Tesla Is Sportier And Feels Faster (But Isn’t) While the majority of EV buyers are not interested in sporty driving manners, we had to include this segment allowing the differences in the character of the two models to shine. On twisty roads, you’ll have more fun in the Tesla than in the Seres. It’s steering is a more direct, and the chassis setup feels sharper than your average family-oriented SUV or crossover. The softer and comfort-focused suspension of the Chinese EV results in more body roll compared to the more balanced setup of its well-established rival.
