Arcfox Lite

The Arcfox Lite was the first model of Arcfox, an electric-car brand created in 2017 by the Chinese group BAIC and its BluePark electric-vehicle division. It grew out of the BAIC Arcfox-1 concept shown in 2016 and was sold from 2017 to 2020 as a two-seat sub-compact city car.

Pre-production reports put its length at about 3.0 metres (2986 × 1676 × 1492 mm). Its electric motor produced up to 36 kW, and BAIC quoted a range of up to 200 km. A fast-charging system could recover 80% of the battery in 30 minutes. BAIC said that an aluminium frame, carbon-fibre-reinforced composite body and plastic panels would cut the car’s weight by about 40%. At the pre-sale in September 2017 prices were 86,800 to 106,800 yuan after subsidies, with four versions planned.
