After the ARCFOX Alpha T5 was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show, it has attracted the attention of many consumers, not only because of its ultra-high appearance and class-leading digital environmental protection cockpit, but more importantly, the quality standards of ARCFOX Motors in the field of new energy have always been very high. And on November 30, the pre-sale was opened, and the JIHU Alpha T5 also officially announced the pre-sale**1558-20.380,000 yuan, this ** is still very pleasantly surprised, and even has the potential to be a hit.

However, at present, the competition in the new energy vehicle market is fierce, and if you want to survive, the product force must be able to play to meet the diversified needs of consumers. And its most direct competitor is the leader of pure electric family SUVs, BYD Song PLUS EV, so today we will take a look at the rookie and veteran games, how to choose the two cars?

First of all, the appearance of the car always determines the first impression, and the high appearance is naturally the key point to attract consumers. ARCFOX Alpha T5 adopts a closed front grille, and the black decorative plate is connected to the light clusters on both sides. The front bumper is also flanked by a black air intake structure, and the lines on the front cabin give the overall shape a sportier look.

On the side, the Alfa T5 has a raised waistline, and details such as a floating roof, hidden door handles, blacked-out rims, and red brake calipers add to the sportiness. At the rear, the rear features blacked-out taillights, a large spoiler and silver bumper guards that enhance the layered look of the rear. In contrast, the design of the BYD Song PLUS EV is more rounded and thick, and the overall design is more decent, although it adopts a closed grille, but the shadow of traditional fuel vehicles can still be seen. Here you can see that the two cars have a distinctly different style, the ARCFOX Alpha T5 is more avant-garde, and the Song PLUS EV lacks personality.

In terms of model positioning, the ARCFOX Alpha T5 is a medium-sized SUV with a wheelbase of 2845mm, while the BYD Song PLUS EV is a compact SUV with a wheelbase of 2765mm, and the wheelbase difference between the two cars is 80mm. Not only that, the two cars add adsorbable degradable materials to the interior materials of the ARCFOX Alpha T5 interior surface, and the cockpit is close to 0 aldehyde and 0 benzene, which is safer and more environmentally friendly.

In terms of interior style, the ARCFOX Alpha T5 adopts a digital surround cockpit, cancels the traditional instrument design, uses a HUD head-up display instead of central control information, and uses the design of a pocket block, maximizing the utilization of channel space. Equipped with a piece of 15The 6-inch floating central control screen, built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, brings a programmable new way of playing to the cockpit, users can customize the status of each part of the vehicle, and supports as many as 93 items in 17 categories, which can be said to directly affect the consumer's car experience.

The overall layout of the BYD Song PLUS EV is more traditional, and one of its features is the large rotatable central control screen, which has a screen size of 128 inches, equipped with Dilink intelligent network system, Qualcomm 665 chip has relatively low computing power in performance. In addition, the in-car voice recognition does not support four-tone recognition, because it is equipped with two microphones, while the Alpha T5 is equipped with four microphones as standard. The proportion of high-strength steel in Song Plus EV is 62%, which is already beyond the industry average. However, the high-strength steel and aluminum alloy body of Alpha T5 accounted for 81%, and the proportion of hot-stamping steel materials reached 3008%, safer than safe.

The ARCFOX Alpha T5 is built on an 800V high-voltage platform, and the battery life can reach 260km in 10 minutes of overcharging. The new car is equipped with a single motor, with a total electric motor power of 200kW, a maximum torque of 360N·m, and an official 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 75 seconds. For the battery part, the new car is offered with 65kWh and 79The 2kWh battery pack has a pure electric range of 520 km and 660 km, respectively.

The Song Plus EV has a maximum power of 160 kW and a maximum torque of 330 Nm, and the overall power performance is not as good as that of the Alfa T5. The battery only has one option, lithium iron phosphate, and the battery life provides two kinds of battery life: 520 km and 605 km, and it takes 30 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%, which is not advantageous in terms of battery life or charging speed.

Under the concept of scenario-based car manufacturing, ARCFOX Alpha T5 is more in line with the actual needs of family cars. Although Song PLUS EV, as an old-timer, is the main model of the BYD family and has a certain user base, the product itself has significant advantages in terms of design, materials, space, and battery life, and there is a significant generation difference in software and hardware. The important thing is that the Alpha T5 has launched a super family gift worth 42,000 yuan, including an all-round intelligent driving gift worth 7,000 yuan, a car purchase gift worth 15,000 yuan and a family gift worth 20,000 yuan, which is cost-effective and can give you a superior experience.
