Review: 2025 Seres Aito 5 RE-EV Premium
There’s zero expectations when it comes to driving a Seres, or if you prefer its new name, Seres Aito. As an automobile brand under the Seres Group, it’s got a complicated history with several name changes.

When it partnered with Huawei, it briefly became Huawei Aito (Adding Intelligence to Auto) in 2021, before becoming Seres in 2023, and then reverting to Aito in 2024. Today, it’s positioned as the Seres Group’s premium EV range with three (another one’s coming) models. The Seres Aito 5 that you see here serves as their entry-level model.

Boring as these duties are, they’re no less important. After all, MPVs tend to carry the most precious cargo of all: the family. Looking at things through that perspective, the Toyota Zenix HEV absolutely excels.
