BAIC Arcfox electric SUV rollout
Entities: Argentina · BAIC T1 · Arcfox Alpha T5 · BAIC · Arcfox
Overview
In late June 2026 BAIC announced that its Arcfox T1 electric hatch would be offered in Brazil, with a price ceiling of R$125,000. By late July the company had expanded the effort, unveiling and testing new Arcfox models across three markets. In Indonesia the brand introduced the T1 SUV, highlighting its large dimensions, sky‑roof and interior storage. The same model was displayed in Argentina with pricing between US$29,500 and US$39,800. In Brazil, BAIC tested the Arcfox Alpha T5, an extended‑range electric SUV equipped with a 1.5 L generator, delivering 271 hp and a combined range of up to 1,215 km. The July snapshot shows BAIC moving from a single‑market launch plan to a broader regional introduction of multiple electric SUVs in South America and Southeast Asia.
