At the end of 2023, JIHU will launch a new model: Alpha T5. This is a pure electric mid-size SUV with strong product power, and there are many highlights from the outside to the inside, all of which are listed, and you can almost write a long book**. This article intercepts its core value and makes an inventory for you to choose a car for reference.
Since 2018, when BAIC Group and Magna signed a strategic cooperation agreement on a new generation of intelligent pure electric vehicle platform, ARCFOX has launched several new vehicles, including the mid-size SUV Alpha T, the mid-size sedan Alpha S and the compact MPV Koala.
The Alpha T5, which was just launched on New Year's Eve, is mainly highlighted by its higher appearance, light luxury interior, spacious space, 21 storage designs and 26 electric configurations; In terms of performance, it has 800 volt fast charging, 520 660 kilometers of battery life, a total of 4 models, and a guide price of 1558-19.980,000 yuan.
The appearance of the Alpha T5 - the appearance value is quite high.
Although the Alfa T5 is a mid-size SUV, it has a very sporty appearance, no matter which angle you look at, it can leave a clean and neat impression, without the slightest bloat, and it seems that you can apply this sentence: body management is very good. It is precisely because of the good figure, coupled with the contrast of many details, that it creates a fairly high appearance.
At the front, the headlights are the finishing touch, with a sharp inner shape that forms an organic connection with the black area in the center. The outer side gradually rises and matches the fenders just right. The raised ribs on the hood add a sense of movement to the front of the car with very nice curves.
The bodywork, which wraps around the black contour of the window, extends backwards at a large angle and finally connects to the rear window, creating a very smooth visual experience. The profile design of the lower part of the body, combined with the black surround, further enhances the sporty look.
The highlights of the rear are the taillights and rear bumper. The tail lights are through-type, and the shape of the left and right sides is very similar to the daytime running lights at the front of the car, forming a trend of echoing each other; The rear bumper is highly layered, and the silver lower guard plate raises the sporty look again.
In terms of dimensions, length, width and height were 4690 1936 1650 mm, wheelbase 2845 mm, curb weight 1980 1975 kg, maximum full load weight 2430 2425 kg, minimum chassis ground clearance 166 mm.
In terms of chassis, the front suspension is MacPherson and the rear suspension is multi-link. In the braking system, the front and rear wheels are ventilated discs. The wheels are available in 19-inch and 20-inch versions, and the tire sizes are 235 50R19 and 245 45R20, respectively. The glossy black spokes, red calipers, and matte black wheel arches seem to remind people that this is a car with decent performance - 7 to 100 km/h5 seconds, 35 braking per 100 kilometers7 meters, the maximum speed is 180 kilometers per hour, and the drag coefficient is 0245。
The body color is divided into 4 types: Polar Fox White, Vision White, Sea Rock Gray and Polar Night Black. The interior color scheme is divided into 3 types: black + purple, black + brown, and black + blue.
The interior of the Alpha T5 – the ambiance feels super good.
In terms of styling alone, it has a clean style, which is a characteristic shared by many electric vehicles today. The highlight of the Alpha T5 is mainly in the atmosphere. With the design, color, material and other elements, as soon as you sit in the car, you can immediately feel exquisite and warm.
If the atmosphere is very similar to a 5-star hotel, such as the Ritz-Carlton, and the atmosphere in the car of some cars is somewhat cold, much like a 3-star hotel for hundreds of dollars.
One of the reasons for the super good feeling is the interior design.
ARCFOX is a new brand, but Magna behind it is an old brand, and its rich and mature experience is fully reflected in this car. For example, every detail in the interior looks very capable, pleasing to the eye, and easy to use.
The second reason for the super good feeling is the color scheme.
As I just mentioned, its interior color is divided into 3 kinds, all of which are two-colored, dark at the top and light at the bottom, embedded with silver trim strips and light strips in the middle.
The third reason for the super good feeling is the material.
Whether it's the black material on the top or the leather wrap on the waistline, every part of the interior feels very delicate, which is a particularly good feeling. Regarding this point, it is recommended that you go to the nearby Jihu 4S store and touch it in the car, I am afraid you will agree with the above feelings.
In addition, its interior materials also have high environmental protection standards, and the formaldehyde content per cubic meter is only 0 at room temperature006 mg, 50 degrees Celsius to 006 mg, less than 01 mg national standard.
Next, I would like to share with you the specific design of the interior.
The door handle on the door trim panel is in the form of a button, located on the thumb of the hand part, which is quite easy to use. Underneath it, near the storage slot, there's also a mechanical handle in case you need it.
The steering wheel is double-spoken, leather-wrapped, and has up and down and front and rear adjustment functions to suit drivers of different sizes.
At 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock on the steering wheel, perforated leather is used, which can increase friction on the one hand, which is conducive to safe driving, and on the other hand, can better solve the problem of sweaty hands.
Underneath the steering wheel is the gear lever – the car has a pocket gear design with a parking gear at the top of the lever. The right hand held at 3 o'clock can be operated by simply extending the index finger, which is very convenient.
Behind the wheel, there is no instrument panel in the traditional sense, and the MAX model uses a 228-inch head-up display. Even more eye-catching is the standard 15 of the whole series6-inch central control screen. The following picture is the main interface after booting,Divided into two areas,The display effect is more intuitive,There are several background pictures on the right interface,Including the seaside、Peaks、Grassland, etc.。
Vehicle settings and air conditioning settings can be operated in the form of touch on the central control screen, including air conditioning and seat heating, etc., can also be operated by voice - the voice operation of the car is divided into 4 areas, without the need for wake words, but also continuous dialogue.
The core of the car machine is the 8155 Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, which is very full of functions, has many applications, and can also be customized according to needs or interests.
Under the central control screen, there are 2 ports on the panel, one for USB and one for Type-C.
The front of the middle platform is a double cup holder and a wireless charging station for mobile phones, and the bottom of it is hollowed out, which can be used to place personal belongings.
The rear section of the middle platform is a **armrest, which is Y-shaped, which is somewhat close to the shape of the daytime running lights and tail lights.
* The storage compartment under the armrest, with a volume of 8 liters, is equipped with an air conditioning outlet, if you put drinks inside, you can make it warm in winter and cool in summer.
The space of the Alpha T5 – the rear is comparable to a double bed.
The front seats have a sporty shape, with a distinctive design of the headrests, which are made of imitation leather, which is very soft, and the seat and waist are made of perforated leather. It is said that it has an internal structure of up to 8 layers and a cushion thickness of 882 mm. In addition, the front seats can be placed back by a maximum of 129 degrees, which is basically a recliner.
In terms of dimensions, the front row is 1465 mm wide, 1060 mm high, 500 mm deep, and the driver's seat height is adjustable by about 85 mm, so that drivers of different heights can adjust the seat to the most suitable position.
The rear seats have good legroom, the backrest is 30 degrees, 1485 mm wide, 1000 mm high, and the seat surface depth is 500 mm.
The minimum distance between the middle position is 270 mm, and the floor is flat with no bulges, so even when it is full, the 5th person still has a good riding experience. The reason why the legroom is relatively spacious is mainly due to the wheelbase of 2845 mm and the longitudinal length of the car is about 2000 mm.
The ** armrest of the rear seat is standard, the armrest is wide, and it is very comfortable to lean on. The front section of the armrest is a double cup holder, and the back section is used to place the tissue box, which is very practical and worthy of praise.
The interface position of the child safety seat is also well designed, making the seat installation very easy.
The luggage compartment has a depth of 890 mm, a minimum width of 1020 mm, a minimum height of 705 mm and a volume of 400 liters. Based on the size, the four 24-inch trolley cases should be able to be placed side by side, with plenty of room on them.
On the side wall of the luggage compartment, there are lights and 220-volt power supply, and the power socket is a 2-in-1 layout, and the triple flat head used for laptops and the double flat head used for most chargers can be used here.
Under the floor of the luggage compartment, there are also 4 storage compartments, which are deeper, which can accommodate a lot of scattered objects with the car, so that the luggage compartment is no longer messy and tidy.
The rear seats can be folded in sections, and after folding, the floor is basically flat, with a maximum length of 1,870 mm and a volume of 1,546 liters from the rear exhaust vents. That is, as long as you don't exceed 19 meters, when outing, make a double bed in the car, through 111 square meters of panoramic canopy, enjoy the starry sky.
