Grinding a Sword in Four Years ——ARCFOX Extreme Speed Fox αT Test Drive

I have been paying attention to ARCFOX polar fox since the establishment of 20 16. 20 17, invited to attend the media communication meeting of the future brand development strategy of Sanlitun ARCFOX Extreme Fox Experience Store. At that time, I was curious about ARCFOX Extreme Fox, which integrated Magna technology and control system.

On June 24th, 2020, 10, the first model of ARCFOX Extreme Fox ARCFOX Extreme Fox αT finally went on the market. This car owner is playing in the middle and high-end market, and the price is 2410.99 million-310.99 million.

165438+ 10 saw the real car at the Xiangyang test center of Xuanyuan Prize in early October, but I didn't get the test center's driver's license at that time, so I simply drove at the top speed of 30 kilometers per hour near the parking lot. However, the evaluation of this car by off-site testers is quite good. From the product point of view, ARCFOX is extremely FOX? αT has indeed achieved a qualitative improvement, and its comprehensive performance is refreshing.

Yu Zhongguo, the Xuanyuan Prize judging expert in charge of static and dynamic vehicle testing and deputy chief engineer of NAST, said that the driving experience of the vehicle is very good, with good comfort, body roll control and steering, and good power. It can be seen that Magna has played a role, and you can feel the foundation of European performance cars from driving.

165438+1October16 participated in the venue test drive and road test drive of ARCFOX Extreme Focus αT in Beijing, and had an all-round experience of this model with the mission of impacting the high-end market of new energy vehicles.

"α" is the brightest Polaris in the constellation above the North Pole, and it is a firm watcher of the North Pole. At the same time, "α" is also the first Greek letter, which means first and stands for "leader"; In addition, "α" also represents the symbol of infinity and exploration. As the brand's first mass production model, α made a good start.

Our test drive is a cold ARCFOX? As the most powerful vehicle in the whole system, Extreme Focus αT four-wheel drive performance version H adopts a four-wheel drive system, with the official acceleration of 0- 100 km/h of only 4.6s seconds, the maximum capacity of battery module of 93.6 kw·H, the energy density of 194Wh/kg and the cruising range of NEDC of 600km.

In terms of appearance, ARCFOX polar fox αT was created by international automobile designer De Silva with his original "borderless" design concept. The lines are simple, but the detailed design makes it look very comfortable, luxurious but not grandiose.

The front face of ARCFOX polar fox αT radiates outward around logo. X-shaped convex lines are one of the key elements to create a sense of visual movement, and also make the vehicle look more design-oriented.

The front of the car adopts closed middle net design, which is simple and fashionable under the embellishment of triangular headlight group and diversion hole. The horizontal convex design that runs through the headlights highlights the layering of the front face, and the small fox logo in the headlights makes it very distinctive.

The side shape of the car body is also simple and powerful, and the upper waistline extends from the front fender on one side to the rear of the car, and then from the rear wing to the front fender on the other side, which has a strong overall feeling; The lower waistline extends from the front wheel arch to the rear wheel arch, making the body more muscular. The black roof and body form a contrasting design, which is very youthful.

The rear of the car is still full of motion. The penetrating light belt, high-position brake lights integrated on the tail wing and simulated air outlets on both sides shape the dynamic effect of the rear of the car.

Full-body dynamic line design, hidden door handle and petal-shaped rim shape can effectively reduce wind resistance and make ARCFOX? The drag coefficient of polar fox αT reaches 0.27. According to the official, this is the lowest SUV in its class.

The new car offers six appearance colors: extreme fox white, ice ash, glacier blue, extreme night black, lava red and fog brown. The model we test-drive today is one of the main colors-ice ash.

When you enter the car, the first thing you see is the 20.3-inch ultra-wide film? 4K big screen, which one can support multitasking on the same screen? With the large-screen 10. 1 inch floating touch screen, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, 8-inch HUD heads up display, and four screens in the car are interconnected, the visual effect is quite shocking.

HUD head-up display is very practical in driving, and it will display relevant information during driving, including speed, speed limit sign, direction, driving assistance system on, etc. Without distracting attention, which increases security.

In addition, in the intelligent cockpit of ARCFOX polar fox αT, various intelligent interactive technologies such as gesture, touch and voice are adopted to realize multi-dimensional intelligent control. After the voice interaction function is activated, multiple instructions can be completed continuously without being awakened repeatedly.

The car provides many practical built-in functions such as cool music, Himalayan, ETC electronic payment, and also integrates driving recorder and car camera. Through the face recognition system, drivers can log into personal accounts and realize personalized configuration and setting.

The materials used in the interior are also very kind, and a large area of leather and Alcantara materials create a strong sense of luxury. The center console is mainly made of soft materials, supplemented by metal wire drawing and piano paint, and the interior texture is good.

The steering wheel is made of real leather, which makes it feel good. There are four joysticks around, and the electronic bumper on the right is the same as running. The operation is simple and intuitive. There are three joysticks on the left, which are responsible for the use of wipers, steering wheel heating/position adjustment and driving assistance. Although it looks complicated, it is very convenient to use, especially suitable for blind people to exercise while driving, which is commendable.

NAPPA leather seat, 12 direction electric adjustment, memory 10 group sitting posture, very luxurious, bringing excellent riding experience. Harman Quantum Match 12 Hi-Fi Speaker? Logical immersive surround sound makes listening to songs a pleasure.

The size of the ARCFOX polar fox αT is 4788/ 1940/ 1683 mm, and the wheelbase is 29 15 mm, with excellent vertical and horizontal space in the rear row. For drivers with a height of 1.88 meters, there is still a distance of one punch and two fingers in the front row, and there is room for two punches in the legs and one punch in the head in the back row.

This test drive has arranged a venue test drive and a road test drive. Through the experience of automatic parking, I feel the powerful performance of the α-Parking full-scene magic parking system of ARCFOX Extreme FOX α T.

Automatic parking system can completely change the control of the vehicle by pressing the parking button, accurately detect the distance between the vehicle and kerbs and objects, not only can quickly identify horizontal parking spaces and vertical parking spaces, but also can realize four parking modes of parallel access, front/rear vertical access and remote access according to the actual parking demand. The world's first automatic parking technology solves the problem of inconvenient front charging.

In addition, there is a test drive at the Jinkana circuit, with five experience items, such as linear acceleration, emergency braking, snake-shaped pile winding, emergency doubling and bumpy road sections. Although the track distance is short, it can't reflect the real control level, but the strong power, steady braking and flexible posture still make me shine.

The road test is mainly on expressways and urban expressways, and the overall driving feeling is very comfortable and advanced.

We're going to test ARCFOX this time? Extreme Focus αT four-wheel drive performance version H is equipped with a motor with maximum power 160kW and front and rear peak torque of 360Nm, with a combined maximum power of 320kW and a combined peak torque of 720Nm.

Strong power reserve makes it have excellent power output in various driving modes. In the daily driving in the city, the comfort mode is the most suitable. Step on it slowly, the power comes naturally, and the acceleration is very linear. When you need to overtake, you will feel a strong push-back feeling when you step on the switch deeply, and the power will spurt out, and unprepared passengers are likely to be shocked.

In the suspension part, the combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension is adopted, and a full-time four-wheel drive system composed of two motors is adopted, with a ratio of 245/45? Michelin pilot of R20? Exercise? 4? SUV tires feel accurate steering during driving, and the suspension support performance is good, but too strong power with soft suspension is not suitable for too intense driving action.

The chassis trained by Magna team has a good performance in comfort and the overall texture is relatively compact. Although it is equipped with a body with static torsional stiffness of 55000nm/deg, the shock absorption adjustment is soft. When passing through the speed bump, the impact is obvious, but there is no unnecessary jump, and some bumps on the road will not be transmitted to the car.

Excellent interior quietness is one of the criteria to judge whether a car has a sense of high class, ARCFOX? The drag coefficient of αT is low, and the front side window is equipped with double-layer laminated glass, which makes the overall quietness of the vehicle quite excellent, and the tire noise and wind noise control are satisfactory.

In terms of intelligent driving, the α-Pilot intelligent driving carried by ARCFOX polar fox αT adopts Bosch's latest generation scheme, and its hardware includes 1 domain controller, including five fifth-generation millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, four panoramic cameras, 1 front camera with a 95-degree angle of view, and/kloc-0 for in-vehicle face recognition.

During driving, we found that the recognition rate of vehicles to surrounding vehicles is very high. If the vehicle deviates from the lane, the steering wheel will automatically correct. 25Km/h？ ACC full speed domain mode can be started, at this time, the vehicle will keep driving in the middle of the lane, and it can be easily identified and turned with the line when encountering a curve. Hands are allowed to leave the steering wheel for at most 10 second, and the driver will be prompted to take over when it exceeds. The only regret is that even if you shift to the nearest 1 gear, ACC is still a little far from the car, and it will make the car on the side easily blocked in front of you, which is not suitable for use in the city.

In the fourth year after its establishment, ARCFOX polar fox finally ushered in mass production delivery. ? ARCFOX's manufacturing plant in Zhenjiang was jointly established by BAIC and Magna under the "new joint venture" mode of fully opening intellectual property rights, R&D system, technology and technology. Magna controls the manufacturing process of products, while BAIC Blue Valley is responsible for parts procurement, marketing and channels, and has a supplier system including top suppliers such as Huawei, SK, Siemens Valeo and Bosch. Extremely fox The high quality of αT provides a guarantee.

The competition in the high-end new energy vehicle market has been very fierce. What is the Aion of GAC New Energy, a traditional car company? LX, BYD Tang EV, or Weilai ES6 of Weilai Automobile, the head car company of new forces, are all ARCFOX? Extremely fox Alpha t's direct opponent, but ARCFOX? αT is quite competitive in software and hardware configuration, driving quality and cruising range. With the halo blessing of well-known manufacturers, it looks really glad you came.
