The buying experience of ARCFOX Alpha S

The crew at home has been open for more than ten years and has not had any problems, but the weak power and backward configuration have been out of touch with the times, plus the Japanese car chassis is relatively loose, in addition, to send you from point a to point b, the rest has no experience to speak of. The mainstream of the NIO XPENG BYD Tesla and other domestic brands have seen, either over budget or feel that there is really no bright spot, by chance see the brand ARCFOX out of curiosity to learn more about it, it is actually a separate brand under the BAIC new energy, may not have much confidence in their own publicity is said to be Magna. Magna is a very b company, Mercedes g is Magna OEM, looking for a weekend to see the car test drive, the overall driving experience really exceeded expectations, decisively ordered Alpha s 525s version.

The pickup price of ARCFOX Alpha S

The bare car price is 251900rmb, no discount, insurance 6k out, and no options, all costs are such, sent some charging points and other owners' rights. A little look at the 525s+ version, the price is more than 10,000, the configuration is really richer, mainly more parallel assistance, panoramic video, and other active safety features and steering wheel heating and other comfort features, objectively speaking, this 10,000 more or quite worth it, but for me do not need these things

The exterior and Interior of ARCFOX Alpha S

The appearance of this piece of opinion, to be honest at first glance is not very good when the car is not chosen for the appearance to go, but the use of such a period of time slowly found that this car belongs to the durable type, perhaps not XPENG or NIO so much sense of technology, nor BYD Han these come so gorgeous, but give people the feeling that this car is not floating on the surface and deep merit. In addition, the rear is not very satisfactory, it seems more bloated, like two cars or SUV skin transformation, not Alfa T so natural.

The interior as a whole is relatively satisfactory, regardless of the workmanship and materials or design are very solid, indeed, you can also see that the manufacturer is trying to make a distinction from the previous BAIC, the physical buttons with piano baking paint, touch and feedback are also good, the details do not lose any of the luxury brands. As a driver who has been driving an old fuel car for years, the big screen is a bit overwhelming, and it takes some time to understand the functions and get familiar with them, but the menu logic and system response speed are okay, not too difficult to get started, and the air conditioning control area is independent of this point deserves praise, at least not for the sake of design, the car machine supports carplay this serious praise, after all, car life Indeed too garbage

The driving experience of ARCFOX Alpha S

Before buying the car looked at the supply chain system of ARCFOX, Magna, Huawei, Siemens, Valeo, SK, etc., which are indeed world famous manufacturers, at least the hardware is not bad, but how to combine these parts together and the appropriate tuning is the need for work. Alfa s give people the first feeling of development integrity is extremely high, for the average user is to drive up very smoothly, will not fight you, the chassis texture is good, although only the front MacPherson after the regular configuration of the multi-link, but full of toughness with a sense of seniority is not uncomfortable, big ditch big can be some aftershock, but also flawed, the brake is in line with the general driving habits of crabs mode, the front section of the electric brake, the rear section Mechanical braking, the two articulated more natural braking force will not suddenly gain, simply put is with the foot, compared to the Tesla kind of single-pedal logic, the benefit of one is not so dizzy, the second is safer, single-pedal logic some users are not used to, or the risk of accidents.

I have driven a lot of trams, tuned better really not much, Tesla belongs to the very sports very whole, but the mandatory single pedal is very nasty, a number of national brands and new forces are too comfortable, where where are soft, the brakes are also soft chassis is also soft, the truth is that Alpha s is very balanced

The power performance of ARCFOX Alpha S

In addition to the top, the other are single motor, 160kw, 360nm, data, and general 2.0T gas car equivalent, but the car weighs close to 2 tons, the power can only be said to be adequate, the power is not very violent, for the pragmatist is also a good thing, but the city super gas car or comfortable. Sport, comfort, economy, single pedal four modes personal favorite sport mode, economy and single pedal dragging feeling is too strong, comfort mode is slightly bland, want to add a speed electric door also have to step deep, plus the pedal is relatively heavy slightly laborious, sport mode vehicle is much lighter, not for intense driving only choose sport mode, but to make up for the relatively weak absolute power

The range and charging of ARCFOX Alpha S

needs range 525km, about 20 degrees of weather, pure urban road conditions normal driving 100 km electricity consumption of about 17 degrees, the range can be more than 470, ring road plus urban average electricity consumption of about 19, the range can also be in about 450, pure high-speed 110 yards cruise, apparent range in about 430-440, if the most ideal working conditions can be achieved artificially (not open air conditioning, the temperature is appropriate, uniform speed driving ), the range 1:1 is not impossible, at least a 1:0.8, this set of electronic control plus the Korean SK battery, the range is really impressive (no disparagement of the meaning of domestic batteries). Charging over the standard fast charging conditions, 30%-80% is also about half an hour, home, then a night time, winter may extend the charging time, then we will see

The intelligent of ARCFOX Alpha S

The so-called intelligent configuration I always attribute to the experience configuration, including l3 level of automatic driving assistance, automatic parking, what voice recognition facial recognition, you say these useful? There must still be, but the use of scenarios for older drivers is really not much use, I simply chose the lowest, only give me an acc is enough, the rest is only voice recognition can be used, but sometimes said fast or recognition can not be, the response speed is just like that, right?

The summary of ARCFOX Alpha S

Overall I am still satisfied with this car, good driving quality, solid range, common configuration, and safety are still relatively well done, space is also large enough, the only not so good is the brand power is relatively weak, selling is not very good, the value retention rate is not high, if you do not care about these and pay more attention to the vehicle itself can look at this brand of car
