The Arcfox αT5 ({{zh|c=极狐阿尔法T5}}) is a battery electric compact crossover SUV manufactured by BAIC under the Arcfox brand.
Overview
In late 2023, Chinese electric carmaker Arcfox introduced another model to expand its portfolio of smaller, more affordable vehicles. The αT5 slots below the Alpha-T, gaining a silhouette rich in sharp lines and clearly outlined embossments. Aggressively shaped headlights were connected by a small crossbar, and the bumper was expanded by large air intakes. The slim silhouette was diversified by retractable door handles, while the rear part of the body was dominated by a high-set light strip and extensive embossments.{{cite web|title=Arcfox Alpha T5 officially launched, priced at 155,800 yuan|date=28 December 2023 |url=https://www.chinapev.com/baic/arcfox/arcfox-alpha-t5-officially-launched-priced-at-155800-yuan/|accessdate=14 March 2025}}
The passenger compartment has been kept in a simple, minimalist design. The high-set center tunnel has been detached from the cockpit, gaining an expanded lower storage compartment. The dashboard is dominated by only one, central touchscreen. It serves as both the clocks and the multimedia system with a diagonal of 15.6 inches.
Specifications
The αT5 is a fully electric car, whose drive system is made up of two engines to choose from. The weaker one developed 248 HP and 360 Nm, and the more powerful one - 268 HP and 360 Nm. The first one was combined with a 65 kWh battery manufactured by CATL, which offered a range of up to 520 kilometers according to the CLTC standard, while the second gained a 79.2 kWh battery and up to 660 kilometers of CLTC range.{{cite web|title=BAIC’s ArcFox Alpha T5 all-electric SUV with CATL battery and 660 km range launched, price starts at 21,800 USD |url=https://carnewschina.com/2023/12/27/baics-arcfox-alpha-t5-all-electric-suv-with-catl-battery-and-660-km-range-launched-price-starts-at-21800-usd/|accessdate=14 March 2025}}
