Arcfox, the EV brand under Beijing Automotive Group (BAIC Group), opened pre-sales for the 2027 Alpha S5 on Friday, making LiDAR standard across the lineup as it seeks market share in China's fiercely competitive electric sedan segment.
Arcfox describes the car as an "AI high-performance wide-body sports sedan." It offers 3 battery-electric variants at pre-sales prices ranging from 121,800 yuan ($18,130) to 144,800 yuan.
The 650 Plus LiDAR version is priced at 121,800 yuan, the 650 Max LiDAR at 131,800 yuan, and the 750 Max LiDAR Shenxing at 144,800 yuan.
Customers who place orders during the pre-sales period are eligible for benefits worth 18,800 yuan, including special paint worth 5,000 yuan, a lifetime warranty on the battery, motor and power electronics, and a charging pile voucher worth 4,999 yuan.
Arcfox has yet to announce an official launch date. The brand's Alpha T7, launched in September, had a starting price 5,000 yuan below its pre-sales price.
The 2027 Alpha S5 measures 4,886 millimeters in length, 1,930 millimeters in width and 1,480 millimeters in height, with a wheelbase of 2,900 millimeters, unchanged from the current model launched in March.
The new model uses a single rear-mounted motor with a peak output of 227 kW (304 hp), enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. The current single-motor battery-electric variants produce a maximum of 185 kW or 200 kW.
All variants come standard with batteries from CATL (HKEX: 3750), offering CLTC ranges of 650 kilometers or 750 kilometers.
