Arcfox has officially launched the Alpha T7, a mid-to-large five-seater coupe SUV, targeting the competitive 150,000 RMB ($21,100) new energy vehicle segment. The vehicle is available in nine configurations with a starting price of 132,800 RMB ($18,700) after subsidies (official MSRP range: 136,800–172,800 RMB / $19,200–$24,300). Built on the ARC-FLOW design philosophy, the Alpha T7 offers both pure electric and range-extended powertrain options.

The exterior features a low-slung, wide-body coupe SUV profile. The front end is defined by a closed grille and a 1,700mm integrated “Star Eye” light bar with dynamic interactive lighting. The vehicle measures 5,020mm in length, 1,996mm in width, and 1,685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,040mm and a drag coefficient of 0.251. High-end trims are equipped with 21-inch wheels and yellow four-piston fixed brake calipers.

Inside, the cabin adopts a wraparound design, replacing the traditional instrument cluster with a 1.1-meter P-HUD head-up display. The center console houses a 17.3-inch 3K touchscreen powered by a 4nm chip, supporting 5G, AI voice interaction, Huawei HiCar, and CarPlay. The interior emphasizes space, boasting an 88.8% interior space utilization rate, a 200L front trunk, and a rear cargo capacity expandable to 1,845L.

A key highlight is the integration of Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 5 Pro intelligent driving system, which utilizes the Limera cabin laser vision system and 27 sensors to support high-speed and urban NCA (Navigation Cruise Assist).

The pure electric version features an 800V silicon carbide platform with a 227kW motor, offering ranges of 650km and 715km (CLTC). It supports rapid charging, adding 270km of range in just 10 minutes. The range-extended version pairs a 1.5L engine with a 200kW motor, delivering a pure electric range of 320km and a combined range of 1,315km.

**Editor’s Take:**
Overall, the Arcfox Alpha T7 is a well-rounded contender that brings Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving technology into the mainstream 150,000 RMB family SUV market. With over 60,000 pre-orders reported, the market interest is clear. By leveraging a spacious five-seat layout, 800V fast charging, and a range-extended option, Arcfox is effectively lowering the entry barrier for vehicles equipped with Huawei’s LiDAR-based autonomous driving. It is a strategic move aimed at family users who prioritize interior space, long-distance travel capability, and high-end driver assistance systems.
