With longer battery life and lower price, the era of Alfa S5 "crushing" fuel veh

In August 2024, a domestic new energy vehicle brand is particularly worth paying attention to, and that is BAIC ARCFOX. Some people might be surprised, could it be the "science and engineering guy" who has always been low-key? Yes, it is him.

As major brands announce their sales data for July, it can be seen that the once low-profile "science and engineering guy," BAIC ARCFOX, has broken through 8,000 units in sales for two consecutive months. In the pure electric new energy market, this number is quite valuable. On August 3rd, BAIC ARCFOX announced a limited-time preferential policy for the "BAIC ARCFOX Car Buying Season - Pure Electric is Cheaper than Oil Prices" for the entire series of "twin star" models Alpha S5 and Alpha T5: From now until September 30th, consumers who purchase the aforementioned two models can enjoy a discount of up to 31,888 yuan, including a cash discount of 25,000 yuan and a 6,888 yuan coupon. At the same time, the BAIC ARCFOX Alpha S5 560 PRO edition was officially launched, with an official guide price of 160,800 yuan. According to this preferential policy, the terminal retail price of the mid-size pure electric sedan Alpha S5 starts at 128,800 yuan, and the mid-size pure electric SUV Alpha T5 starts at 123,800 yuan, initiating a new round of "value battle" in the new energy field.

In the first half of the year, BYD took the lead in initiating a price war, triggering a series of chain reactions. In the second half of the year, this "value war" initiated by BAIC ARCFOX is also full of highlights and may even trigger a second round of market reshuffling. Especially for consumers who are planning to buy a car recently, the following are five key points, almost every one of which to some extent subverts the public's habitual cognition of car consumption, hoping to bring some help to everyone when buying a car.

Key Point 1: Buy the spacious enjoyment of a B-class car with a budget for an A-class car, pure electric is cheaper than oil prices

If you are planning to buy a car with a budget for a compact sedan or SUV recently, don't miss the "upgrade" discount offered by BAIC ARCFOX! With the same budget, buying BAIC ARCFOX can directly upgrade you from a compact class to a mid-size pure electric car.

This is, of course, because the ARCFOX Alpha T5 and S5 have particularly outstanding space performance, achieving a class-leading space with a long wheelbase, truly achieving "it looks bigger than the parameters, and it is bigger when used than it looks." The wheelbase of the Alpha T5 reaches 2,845 mm, with an axle length ratio close to 61%. The available length inside the car is 1,793 mm, the available width is 1,536 mm, and the net height of the interior space reaches 1,260 mm; the wheelbase of the Alpha S5 reaches 2,900 mm, and the passenger space utilization rate reaches 67%, with a wide-body design for a more comfortable ride. The front shoulder space is 1,478 mm, the elbow space is 1,550 mm, and the hip space is 1,440 mm. In terms of space utilization, both the Alpha T5 and S5 twin star models are close to 70%.

The interior space of the Alpha T5 leads in all aspects compared to most SUVs under 200,000 yuan, and the effective usable space inside the Alpha S5 has reached the level of a C-class car, with the rear even allowing three people to cross their legs at the same time. Buying the spacious enjoyment of a B-class car with a budget for an A-class car is definitely a good deal.

Key Point 2: Spend the money for a 400V car to buy an 800V car, the first and only in the 160,000 yuan class

Still hesitating about whether to "pay extra for 800V"? Don't hesitate, the "true full-range 800V popularizer" BAIC ARCFOX allows you to buy an 800V mid-size pure electric car with a budget for a 400V car. The 800V platform is not only faster in charging, lower in energy consumption, more enduring in range, and lighter in weight under the same conditions, it is also a leading technology recognized by the industry and consumers.

When the Alpha T5 and S5 were launched, they were full of sincerity and became the popularizers of 800V high-voltage supercharging technology, taking the lead in bringing this leading technology to under 200,000 yuan. With the launch of the new preferential policy, BAIC ARCFOX has become the first and only brand in the 160,000 yuan class to carry a full-range 800V supercharging platform. For as low as 164,800 yuan, you can own a mid-size pure electric car equipped with 800V technology, which is even less than the price of many brands' 400V models.With the support of 800V technology, the Alpha T5 and S5 can replenish over 200 kilometers of driving range in just 10 minutes. In other words, during long-distance driving, recharging your car with 200 kilometers might only take the time it takes to enjoy a cup of coffee. The longest range of up to 708 kilometers is now on par with gasoline vehicles, achieving powerful endurance without losing out to a full tank of fuel, making long trips more reassuring.

Although countless brands mention "full-domain 800V" in the market, in such a fiercely competitive environment, it is BAIC BluePark that truly focuses on popularizing 800V technology, bringing a better driving experience to consumers and achieving technological equity for more consumers with 800V.

Key Point Three: When buying an electric vehicle, it is a consensus to opt for the highest range within the same price range. After all, the range directly affects your travel radius. Within the price range of 160,000, the longest-range models you can buy are almost all from BAIC BluePark.

As the "only pure electric model in the 160,000 class equipped with a full-domain genuine 800V platform," the Alpha T5 and S5 also proudly stand as the "longest-range pure electric models" in their class. The entire family line boasts a maximum range of up to 708 kilometers with the lowest energy consumption of 12.8kWh per 100 kilometers. The fastest charging capability allows for 280 kilometers in 10 minutes and 380 kilometers in 15 minutes. The high-performance, genuine range, and high comfort of the Alpha T5 and S5 fully meet consumers' dual demands for pure electric range and charging speed.

Key Point Four: Starting at the 120,000 level, you can get the entire series equipped with CATL batteries; when buying an electric vehicle, it's crucial to consider the battery and not to take a gamble.

The endurance of an electric vehicle is fundamental, and the battery is the key. The cost of a battery accounts for one-third of the total cost of a pure electric vehicle. The quality of the battery directly determines the quality level of a pure electric model. Currently, many brands still "take a gamble" with the battery configuration in their models, with high-quality brand batteries only used in some high-specification models.

BAIC BluePark, backed by BAIC Group, demonstrates the strength and responsibility of a major manufacturer in battery selection. The Alpha T5 and Alpha S5 series all use the internationally renowned brand "CATL" batteries from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), adding power to BAIC BluePark Alpha T5 and S5 with top-tier safety performance and leading technology. Even in entry-level models, they refuse to "take a gamble" with the battery, providing consumers with the most "prestigious" sense of security.

Key Point Five: Starting from the 120,000 level, you can enjoy Magna quality, and "luxury car manufacturing standards" at an affordable price.

In terms of manufacturing quality, which is highly valued by consumers but difficult to witness directly, BAIC BluePark consistently invests cost and effort. The entire series comes standard with Magna. As the "preferred manufacturer" for luxury brands, Magna's manufacturing quality is on par with well-known European luxury cars and enjoys an excellent reputation. Magna's manufacturing processes and quality control standards ensure that every vehicle meets the high standards of luxury brands.The Arcfox Alpha T5 and S5 are both born from the Blue Valley Magna production line, boasting Magna's excellent craftsmanship and world-class manufacturing standards. The world-class manufacturing system endows the Alpha T5 and S5 with the genes to rival luxury vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, BMW 5 Series, and Jaguar I-PACE. The chassis of the Alpha T5 and S5 have reached the world's top tuning standards, offering a driving quality that far exceeds that of similar class models. The chassis is solid, not only meeting sports performance requirements but also balancing comfort on top of sports performance. Especially on urban roads, when going over manhole covers, speed bumps, and other bumpy surfaces, the seat impact force is reduced by 30% compared to similar class models. The handling is more stable, and the ride is more comfortable, allowing the luxury to be truly felt and enabling more people to experience the driving and riding sensation of "driving like a BMW, riding like a Mercedes-Benz."

With sales soaring for two consecutive months and policies further intensifying to continuously "reduce prices" to give back to consumers, and recently joining forces with the "Walking with Brilliance" sports heroes to compete in Paris, the Alpha S5 welcomes Olympic champion owner Yang Qian. The "science and engineering man who doesn't market" BAIC Arcfox has recently gained a lot of fans with this series of operations. For users considering buying a car in the near future, the Arcfox Alpha "5 Series Twins" are worth paying attention to. With the backing of the BAIC Group's large factory quality, BAIC Arcfox's sales performance in the second half of the year is worth looking forward to.
