Arcfox is a Chinese marque of electric passenger cars and crossovers based in Beijing, operating since 2017. The brand belongs to the car manufacturer BAIC Group.
History
In 2017, the Chinese automotive giant BAIC Group decided to create a new brand dedicated to the development of electric cars. The first model to go on sale locally was a microcar called Lite, targeting the premium class.[1]
In March 2019, at the Geneva Motor Show, the global premiere of the Arcfox brand took place, expressing the goals of developing the Chinese brand's operations also on the European continent.[2]
In May 2020, the mid-size Alpha-T model debuted,[3] and a year later the offer was expanded by the large crossover Alpha-S[4] from then on serving as the flagship design.
In 2022, Arcfox started cooperation with the Chinese giant Huawei, equipping its cars available on the domestic market with the operating system.[5]
The structures presented under the Arcfox brand in Europe were completely different from the concept of the Lite model. The first vehicle was the prototype of a large ECF SUV, the stylistic design of which was the responsibility of designer Walter de Silva, known for his work for the Volkswagen Group.[6]
The second vehicle that participated in the world premiere of the Arcfox brand was the GT supercar, which was to present the possibilities of the designers of the BAIC Group.[7] The vehicle was presented in both the basic and the special variant called Race Edition.[8]
Sales figures in China
In December 2017, the first month of sales, 472 vehicles of this brand were registered in China. In 2018 there were a total of 588 and in the following year 599. After 721 vehicles in 2020, 6,009 cars were sold in 2021.[9]
