A more "sassy" model design
The ARCFOX Alpha S5, which opened for pre-sale this time, is a new masterpiece of ARCFOX's new sports coupe style, with a length, width and height of 4820mm *1930mm *1480mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm. The vehicle is positioned as a B-class mid-size sedan, with a smoother and more agile shape than the previous models of ARCFOX, and it also has more sports technology.
In terms of appearance, ARCFOX Alpha S5 adopts a new design language of "wind plastic aesthetics", and the overall body lines have undergone meticulous and dense design and complex wind tunnel tests, so that it has an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.1925Cd. Such a low drag coefficient not only shows the extreme pursuit of design aesthetics of the ARCFOX Alpha S5, but also is more conducive to the positioning of its pure electric model.
The front face of the new car is sharply designed, and the wind blade headlights composed of 400 LED light sources are fully recognizable after being lit, and it also has a smart light language effect, full of science and technology. The side of the ARCFOX Alpha S5 has a line design with a sense of slipback, which makes the vehicle full of dynamics. The rear of the car is equipped with multi-dimensional ultra-red technology taillights, which not only improves safety by 40%, but also has a light-emitting little fox logo, which can identify the identity of the Alfa S5 even if it is far away in the middle of the night. In addition, the area of the intelligent active lifting tail wing at the rear of the car can reach 3430cm² after deployment, which not only makes the vehicle feel full of combat, but also reflects the "sa" vividly.
Sitting in the car, the interior of the ARCFOX Alpha S5 is obviously on par with the new power car companies, with the overall design simple and technological, and at the same time without losing the solid materials that traditional car companies have always used. The new car uses the same Microcloud velvet premium leather as the Mercedes-Benz EQ in many places, which is not only smoother to the touch, but also more environmentally friendly. It is worth noting that the ARCFOX Alpha S5 is equipped with a panoramic dome canopy with industry-leading thermal insulation effect, with a total coverage area of 5.2 square meters, a light transmission area of 4.5 square meters, and a light transmittance ratio of 78.7%, which greatly improves the transparency of the vehicle.
In terms of interior configuration, the ARCFOX Alpha S5 has also achieved the leading level in the same price range. It is not only equipped with a 68-inch large AR-HUD and a large intelligent center control screen, as well as a 7.1-channel 15-speaker surround sound field system, providing users with more wonderful audio and video enjoyment. In addition, JiHu also equipped it with the JiHu Lingzhi OS intelligent cockpit system for the first time. Based on this advanced set of software and hardware collocation, the ARCFOX Alpha S5 cockpit can be transformed into a KTV, a game room and a "Four Seasons Garden" in seconds, greatly improving the driving experience of drivers and passengers.
More "trench" intrinsic strength
As a pure electric sedan with sports attributes, the ARCFOX Alpha S5 not only has a "sassy" external design, but also a very capable internal strength.
At the power level, the new car is equipped with a synchronous + asynchronous dual motor combination, with a total power of up to 390kW, a total torque of 690N·m, and a 000 acceleration in only 3.7s. Not only is the acceleration fast enough, but the ARCFOX Alpha S5 brakes steadily enough. Thanks to the aluminum four-piston brake calipers, the new car only needs 33.5m of 100-zero braking, and thanks to the steering system with a large gear ratio, the Alfa S5 has very precise directivity, providing the driver with precise control of where to strike.
In order to perfectly reflect the excellent performance of the ARCFOX Alpha S5, the Alpha S5 officially announced the release of the "Tunnel Crossing Challenge" blockbuster at the press conference, taking the lead in paying tribute to Mercedes-Benz and Schumacher in the name of pure electric sedans. In the video, Gao Xuan, a well-known racing driver, drove an Alpha S5, accelerated into a tunnel with a diameter of 10.2 meters within a limited 320 meters, and used the ramp to rush onto the tunnel wall at the right angle, complete a 360-degree flip, and finally complete the drift on the subsequent mountain road. The overall action is done in one go, highlighting the extraordinary power attributes of the ARCFOX Alpha S5.
As a pure electric sedan, the ARCFOX Alpha S5 adopts CATL's Shenxing Super Charging Core, with a battery capacity of 79.2kWh and a range of up to 708km under CLTC comprehensive working conditions. At the same time, the ARCFOX Alpha S5 is equipped with an 800V high-voltage platform as standard, and the energy replenishment speed is one step faster, and it can be charged to 380km in only 15 minutes, which greatly reduces the user's mileage and energy replenishment anxiety.
In the face of the full pre-sale of the Alpha S5, the model that forms direct competition with it must be the Zeekrypton 007. The two cars are basically the same size, both belong to the B-class sedan, and both are equipped with 800V high-voltage platforms as standard. At the power level, both cars belong to the 3 seconds club, the difference is that ZEEKR 007 has a larger capacity power battery and the intelligent driving model has a lidar, and the redundancy at the intelligent driving level is higher. However, Jihu Alpha S5 has more advantages in price after all, compared with the 209,900 yuan starting at the sale of Extreme Krypton 007, the price of Alpha S5 is about 35000 yuan lower after the equity, excluding the added value of the brand, Extreme Fox Alpha S5 even has more advantages in comfort configuration, and to a certain extent, the cost performance is better than that of Extreme Krypton 007.
From April 11, ARCFOX Motors released the "new Darwin 2.0 technology system" in Beijing, and on April 22, ARCFOX Alpha S5 started pre-sale. The pace of BAIC Jihu in new energy electric technology has been significantly accelerated. Its seven major technical fields, including Jidun Safety, Jijing Health, Jifeng Power, Aurora Battery, Jixiang Cockpit, Lingyun Chassis, and Lingzhi Intelligence, were implemented on the Alpha S5 car in one go, which fully demonstrated the strong foundation and innovative spirit of Jihu backed by old car companies, and also indicated the importance that Jihu attaches to the Alpha S5 model. The opening of the Beijing Auto Show is imminent, and the ARCFOX Alpha S5 will also officially meet the general audience at the auto show, and it is believed that the ARCFOX Alpha S5 will become the most dazzling star model at the ARCFOX booth, bringing a new breakthrough in sales to the ARCFOX.
