Arcfox is a Chinese marque of electric passenger cars and SUV owned by BAIC BluePark based in Beijing founded in 2017.
In 2017, the Chinese automotive giant BAIC Group decided to create a new subordinate brand dedicated to the development of electric cars. The first model to go on sale locally was a microcar called Lite aimed at the premium class. [1] In March 2019, the global premiere of the Arcfox brand took place during the Geneva Motor Show, expressing the goals of expanding the Chinese brand's operations also on the European continent. [2]
The designs presented under the Arcfox brand in Europe were completely different from the concept of the Lite. The first vehicle was a prototype of a large SUV ECF, whose styling was designed by designer Walter de Silva known for his work for Volkswagen Group. [3] The second vehicle that participated in the world premiere of the Arcfox brand was the supercar GT, intended to present the capabilities of the BAIC Group designers. [4] The vehicle was presented in both a basic and a special variant called Race Edition. [5]
In 2020, the company focused on completely new designs built for the Chinese market in the form of technically advanced electric crossovers. In May 2020, the mid-size Alpha-T model debuted, [6] and a year later the offer was expanded by the large crossover Alpha-S [7] from then on, serving as the flagship design. In 2022, Arcfox started cooperation with the Chinese giant Huawei, equipping its cars available on the domestic market with the operating system. [8]
In 2023, Arcfox began to further expand its model portfolio, launching in September this year the sale of a compact minivan Kaola with unusual interior design solutions aimed at mothers of small children. [9] In December of the same year, the range was expanded by the compact crossover Alpha T5, [10] and in the spring of 2024, Arcfox introduced the first classic passenger car - the Alpha S5 limousine.

For a period of time a few years after Arcfox was founded, the market performance was poor, with insufficient sales in 2021 Xpeng, Nio, Li Auto One-twentieth. [12] The sales volume in 2022 will be 11,895 units, which is only equivalent to the sales volume of the leading new car manufacturing force in one month. [13] Sales volume will increase significantly to 30,016 vehicles in 2023. [14]
