In the price range of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, the monthly sales level of BYD Han EV is enough to prove that domestic brands can also make great achievements in this segment, so many new energy vehicle companies have begun to launch medium and large cars at this price point, trying to break the wrist with BYD Han EV, of which the more representative models are Extreme Kr 001 and Polar Fox Alpha S. Today, the car uncle put the two models together for a comparison to see which is more cost-effective.
The 2021 Extreme Krypton 001 was launched in April last year, and the new car has a total of 3 configurations, with a price range of 299,000 to 368,000 yuan. The 2021 Polar Fox Alpha S was launched in April last year, and the new car currently has a total of 4 configurations in the whole series, with a price range of 251,900 to 344,900 yuan.
Next, Uncle Che will choose the top version of the two cars for comparison, let's take a closer look at how they perform.
Exterior design
Based on the SEA Haohan architecture, the model design greatly continues the shape of the concept model, its front face retains the design style of the Lynk & Co family, and the split headlight group is very recognizable. The forward grille is integrated with the far and near lighting in the lower half, ensuring the integrity of the front face design, while forming a penetrating shape, further increasing the width of the front of the car.
The Polar Fox Alpha S adopts a pure electric model's classic closed front face design, the X-ray emitted from the center of the front is the family design of the Pole Fox brand, and the contour lines on the car's cabin canopy with the chrome decoration under the bumper give people an extended muscle feeling, and such design elements also represent the brand's spirit of challenging boundaries. In addition, the new model has a slender triangular headlight, its shape is more like water dripping on the front of the car, the chrome trim at the front bumper runs through the front of the car, and the black skid plate is set with a diamond-shaped cutout shape, which makes the sophistication of the whole car suddenly improved.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the extreme Kr 001 are 4970×1999× 1548 mm, and the wheelbase is 3005 mm. The body side of the new model adopts the shape design of the hunting wagon, the overall line is relatively smooth, and the ribs protruding from the front and rear fenders and door panels make the sense of strength of the whole vehicle be displayed.
The Polar Fox Alpha S's specific length, width× height were 4930×1940× 1599 mmm, with a wheelbase of 2915 mm, which was slightly behind in terms of key body length and wheelbase. The side of the body of the car uses more chrome elements, but the overall design is more harmonious, there is no tacky feeling. The suspension roof extends all the way to the rear, creating a sneaky shape, but the visual center of gravity of the whole car is higher, and if it is lower, it will have a stronger visual impact.
The Kr 001 is equipped with a wavy spoiler at the end of the roof, the taillights in the middle are through-channel design, and the internal LED modules are neatly arranged, which is highly recognizable after lighting up at night. The overall shape of the rear encirclement echoes the front encirclement, and the combination of detail design makes the layering of the tail have a good display.
The tail design of the Polar Fox Alpha S is simple and capable, and the graceful roof line slides down to the rear and has a slight upturn on the trunk cover. The through-through taillights are on the high side, with a lightweight interior design, and the cascading strips are also stunning when lit.
Interior design
The entire interior design of the Krypton 001 is very simple, and the center console is equipped with a 15.4-inch touch multimedia touch screen, coupled with an 8.8-inch full LCD dashboard, which has a good sense of technology. Among them, the ui interface of the central control multimedia display screen of the new car is relatively simple, which is closer to the design of Tesla, and most of the control functions in the car are integrated internally. In terms of user experience, this screen, whether it is resolution or smoothness, can reach the current mainstream level.
The Polar Fox Alpha S extends the simple temperament all the way to the cockpit, the entire interior looks very simple and clean, and the upper and lower light interiors are matched with the contrasting design, which sets off the elegant interior atmosphere. The coherent screen of the center console of this model integrates lcd instruments, central control screen and co-pilot entertainment screen, with a total size of 20.3 inches, 4K resolution supports high-definition video display, and the screen surface is also anti-glare and anti-reflection processing, and the details are very in place.
The interior seats of the Extreme Kr 001 are wrapped in leather fabric, and the functional aspect supports the electric adjustment of the main passenger seat, the heating/massage of the front seat, the ventilation of the driver's seat, the electric memory of the front seat, the rear adjustable button of the passenger seat, etc. The front seats in this model adopt an integrated design, and the material used for wrapping on the surface is more delicate and comfortable to ride.
The pole fox alpha S interior seat is wrapped in a mix of leather + turped fur material, and the function is compared to the pole krypton 001, which lacks the four-way adjustment of the height of the passenger seat, the front seat massage, the driver's seat ventilation, the passenger seat power seat memory, the rear adjustable button of the passenger seat, etc. The front seats in this model are more conventional, with a wide seat surface and excellent cushion length, which can give good leg support to the front passengers.
Extreme Kr 001 is very well taken care of for the rear passengers, and the air conditioner is equipped with a display screen below the air outlet to control music, air conditioning, door closure, etc. In addition, the rear seats support features such as backrest adjustment, electrical adjustment and heating, which the Alpha S does not have.
The rear seats in the Polar Fox Alpha S car are of the same level as the front row in terms of material use and workmanship, and the rear seats are equipped with independent headrests that can be lifted, and the two side positions have a certain degree of invertedness, and the wrapping feeling is not bad.

Uncle Che summed up
As a new generation of pure electric large cars, The Extreme Kr 001 and the Extreme Fox Alpha S both have high enough quality, and the design style, details and space of the vehicle are also very capable. Through the comparison of the matching versions of the above two models, we can see that there is still a certain gap between the two models, of which the Extreme Kr 001 has a larger external size, a more generous rear seating space, better power performance and a more comprehensive functional configuration than the Polar Fox Alpha S, and the vehicle product strength and cost performance are relatively high. 0
