What Happened

The vehicle lineup spans four extended-range variants and five all-electric options. All configurations benefit from a 4,000-yuan advance order incentive applied against list prices of 141,800 yuan to 178,800 yuan, bringing effective reservation pricing between 137,800 yuan and 174,800 yuan.

Subsidized Entry Price

137,800 yuanRMB

Base 1315 Plus extended-range specification following promotional discount

All-electric versions utilize an 800-volt electrical platform and a single electric motor delivering 227 kW. The base 650 Plus trim pairs with a 75.4 kWh battery for 650 km of CLTC range, while higher trims carry an 84.8 kWh pack rated for 715 km. Fast replenishment requires 15 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%.

Powertrain and Range Specifications
Extended-Range System
1.5-liter engine with 200 kW motor and 43.9 kWh battery (1,315 km total range)
EREV Pure Electric Range
320 km CLTC on 400-volt architecture
Battery-Electric 800V Peak Range
715 km CLTC with 84.8 kWh capacity

Automated driving packages diverge across the trim structure. Four variants feature Huawei Qiankun ADS 5 Pro technology incorporating an in-cabin lidar sensor, while alternative specifications adopt BAIC proprietary Yuanjing hardware with a roof-mounted lidar. The chassis incorporates CDC variable damping calibrated with Magna engineering input.

Vehicle Launch Milestone
  1. August

    Arcfox reveals the Alpha T7 crossover at the Chengdu Auto Show.

  2. August 26

    Pre-sales open across nine model grades with nationwide dealer reservations.

Why this matters

Arcfox is targeting family buyers under the 200,000-yuan threshold with 800-volt architecture, CATL battery supply, and Huawei automated driving integration. Deploying both extended-range and pure electric choices directly counters mass-market SUV competition in China.
