If I had to use one word to describe today's consumers, I think it would be "both want and want". In this market context, it has also given birth to a lot of Internet celebrity products, such as Xiaomi SU7 and ZEEKR 007. These new cars are top-notch both in terms of online buzz and the products themselves. However, in this issue, we do not plan to rub the traffic of these two cars, but want to talk about a new car that is about to start pre-sale, the Alpha S5. We will also discuss with you from the two dimensions of performance and security: whether the value of the ARCFOX Alpha S5 is worth choosing.
The parameters are very top-notch!
In my opinion, since you have chosen an electric car, the most unavoidable thing is the power parameters of this car. Because these parameters largely determine the lower limit of the use of an electric vehicle. Maybe the power parameters are not the whole thing that affects driving, but if you want a car to be comfortable and smooth enough to drive, then you have to pay attention to its power parameters.
Let's briefly talk about the parameters of the ARCFOX Alpha S5 power system, in the four-wheel drive version of the Alpha S5 model, the manufacturer gave the front permanent magnet + rear asynchronous motor layout, peak power 390 kilowatts, maximum torque 690 Nm, zero hundred acceleration time of 3.7 seconds and based on the 800V platform. These parameters may not make you feel like you want to scream, but you will feel that the TA is excellent value for money when you switch to a petrol car. We checked it out, and there are probably so many products in the oil car circle that are close to Alpha S5 in terms of parameters are BMWM4, AudiRS5, AlfaRomeoGiulia, the price of these products is close to one million, counting some necessary expenses, the new car is basically landing at 1 million +, I guess this is also the reason why the manufacturer dares to call the Alpha S5 "million-level".
These parameters can seem a bit boring or even boring, so we're going to talk a little bit more about electric drive systems. At present, the more mainstream electric drive management system is IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) or SiC (silicon carbide), IGBT is indeed "far ahead" in 400V electric vehicles, but in the era of 800V new cars, silicon carbide is the right answer to the problem, the reason is that the power density is high and the efficiency is high. IGBTs can generally only achieve 94% (standard load) and 92% (low load) efficiency at the same voltage, while SiC can achieve 98% (standard load) and 95% (low load) efficiency levels. Therefore, with the same battery capacity, electric vehicles using SiC systems can easily achieve a range increase of more than 3%. However, there is a problem that the more expensive SiC costs will affect the profit margin of manufacturers, which tests the conscience of manufacturers. Judging from the results, the 32 kW/L SiCMCU selected by ARCFOX Alpha S5 can indeed show the sincerity of the manufacturer, coupled with the comprehensive efficiency of 98%+ NEDC, ARCFOX Alpha S5 can achieve the product characteristics of "running fast and eating less", which seems a bit counterintuitive.
In addition to the hardware and parameters mentioned above, the manufacturer actually gave a full proportional adjustment control of 0-100% of the torque of the front and rear wheels with 11 gears, and I want to emphasize that the ARCFOX Alpha S5 can not only achieve "big brick flying" in the parameter part, but also "all under control" at the control level. We can also conclude that the ARCFOX Alpha S5 is not only efficient enough in the power system, but also perfect in the driving level. This is also a perfect fit with the ARCFOX Alpha S5's main product concept of "comfortable to drive and comfortable to play".
Hurry up and be safe!
The performance parameters of the ARCFOX Alpha S5 are indeed speechless, but there is a question, is it safe enough to drive?
Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, electric vehicles have more battery systems, so you will find that the weight of electric vehicles on the market is generally heavier than that of the same type of fuel vehicles, so in the vehicle safety part, it is difficult for this type of electric vehicles to be optimized. The solution is quite simple, one is to enhance the torsional rigidity of the body, and the other is to strengthen the battery system.
What is the performance of ARCFOX Alpha S5? After checking the relevant information, we found that ARCFOX Alpha S5 uses a large number of ultra-high-strength steel and high-strength steel, and on this basis, aluminum alloy materials are also used to meet the needs of lightweight. After a meal, the ARCFOX Alpha S5 gave a figure of 51897 Nm of torsional rigidity of the body, which may not be the strongest in the industry, but it is certainly no problem to be ahead of its peers.
JIHU Alpha S5 body safety does have two brushes, and the battery safety part has done which step? We carefully read the documents given by the manufacturer, and I think it can basically be summed up in one word - hardness. It can be seen that the manufacturer has given the battery box a high-strength frame, four horizontal and two longitudinal keel reinforcing beams, a deformation energy-absorbing area, IP68 dustproof and waterproof, explosion-proof design of the battery cell and box, etc.
Here we can make a summary, it is basically impossible to achieve "cost reduction and efficiency increase" in the safety of a car, so there is only the road of "stacking" in the safety of the vehicle, and the safety part of the material is sufficient, and the safety of a car can stand the test. Judging from the results given by the ARCFOX Alpha S5, the vehicle safety it can provide is enough to benchmark the "million-level".
Write at the end
Is the ARCFOX Alpha S5 an electric car that can benchmark against "million-level" products? I dare not guarantee it elsewhere, but in the two dimensions of safety and performance, I think TA is completely worthy of the slogan of "million-level". Regardless of the given parameters or hardware, it is rare in products of this level. The question is, what will be the pre-sale price of such a pure electric car that can stand up to scrutiny? Is it 199,000 to make a friend, or 22-300,000 to directly benchmark Xiaomi SU7, or to set a price of 300,000+ to give netizens a little shock? We can't guess for the time being. If you also want to buy a pure electric family car that can play in all aspects recently, you can leave the opportunity to the ARCFOX Alpha S5.
