Arcfox
Chinese EV brand
Arcfox (极狐) is a Chinese marque of electric passenger cars and SUV owned by BAIC BluePark based in Beijing founded in 2017.
History
Beginning
In 2017, the Chinese automotive giant BAIC Group decided to create a new subordinate brand dedicated to the development of electric cars. The first model to go on sale locally was a microcar called Lite aimed at the premium class. In March 2019, the global premiere of the Arcfox brand took place during the Geneva Motor Show, expressing the goals of expanding the Chinese brand's operations also on the European continent.
The designs presented under the Arcfox brand in Europe were completely different from the concept of the Lite. The first vehicle was a prototype of a large SUV ECF, whose styling was designed by designer Walter de Silva known for his work for Volkswagen Group. The second vehicle that participated in the world premiere of the Arcfox brand was the GT sports car, intended to present the capabilities of the BAIC Group designers. The vehicle was presented in both a basic and a special variant called Race Edition.
Further development
In 2020, the company focused on completely new designs built for the Chinese market in the form of technically advanced electric crossovers. In May 2020, the mid-size Alpha-T model debuted, and a year later the offer was expanded by the large crossover Alpha-S from then on, serving as the flagship design.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Arcfox”, the useful work is to connect “chinese EV brand” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q95786931. None of the 7 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2019 and 2020.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
