In the second half of January 2021,[1] the Chinese automobile division Arcfox presented a new large electric crossover, which, like the smaller α-T model, was called α-S[1] and was kept in a similar stylistic formula.
The car got aggressively styled headlights, an imitation of the air intake in the shape of a trapezoid, and a pointed front apron. In addition, the vehicle has a gently sloping roof line, as well as retractable door handles and rear lamps connected by a luminous strip.[1]
The electrical system of the Arcfox α-S consists of a Шаблон:Convert electric motor that provides a maximum torque of Шаблон:Convert.[2] In terms of the available variants of the battery, the manufacturer has provided three variants that will allow the vehicle to drive Шаблон:Convert on a single charge according to the Chinese NEDC measurement procedure.[3]
Electronics for the Arcfox α-S are co-developed with Huawei.[4]
In July 2021, an Arcfox Alpha-S was crash-tested in China (car-to-car crash test) versus a BYD Han EV with blade batteries. The result is that the Alpha-S is safer. At about 48 hours after the test, nothing happened to the Arcfox Alpha-S, only the BYD Han car caught fire and burned to the ground.[5][6]
