At the recently concluded Lagos Motor Fair, some vehicles were on display but one shone like a bright star.
The Arcfox aS captured the attention of attendees with its size, luxury, technology and appearance.
Arcfox is BAIC New Energy’s high-end brand that emphasizes intelligent driving, long range performance and luxury with options of self driving capabilities.
With a driving range of over 700 kilometers or over 437 miles, driving range anxiety or fear of losing power on most road trips will not come into play with this car as a full charge as stated above can complete many road trips on Nigerian roads except for the ultra long distance road trips. And the car comes with both a fast charge and a regular charge capabilities with the different charging ports on either sides of the car.
The NMC lithium-ion battery (CATL) has a capacity of 93.6kwh for the long range edition. And this feeds the Permanent Synchronous Motor that powers the car with a max power of 160KW/175KW for the single and dual motor versions. And this translates to a rapid 0-60 acceleration time of 4.2 seconds for the AWD performance edition.
