Alpha S has a curb weight exceeding 2.2 tons. The Alpha S is a new-generation intelligent luxury pure electric sedan under the ARCFOX brand. Positioned as a mid-to-large-sized sedan, it offers two powertrain options and three range versions. It features a high-strength body structure with steel upper and aluminum lower sections, and incorporates a third-generation battery system. Below is more information about the ARCFOX Alpha S: 1. Configuration: The ARCFOX Alpha S Huawei HI version is equipped with an advanced intelligent autonomous driving system boasting 400 TOPS computing power. The vehicle body is fitted with 3 LiDAR sensors, 6 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 9 ADS cameras, and 4 surround-view cameras. 2. Range: It comes with a high-energy-density battery pack rated at 194Wh/kg, and the total efficiency of the electric drive system exceeds 93.5%. The Alpha S offers an impressive range of up to 708KM, making it the longest-range mass-produced vehicle among emerging automakers.

As a long-time EV enthusiast, I know the curb weight of the ArcFox Alpha S ranges between 2,180 to 2,300 kg depending on the single-motor or dual-motor version. I test-drove the single-motor variant, which weighed around 2,180 kg in actual measurement. It felt solid to drive, with stable body control during high-speed cornering—never floaty. The weight comes from that large 80kWh battery, which boosts range but also increases energy consumption—averaging about 17 kWh per 100 km. Compared to the Tesla Model 3, it’s over 200 kg heavier, but that’s for enhanced chassis safety, which I personally find worthwhile. However, the weight slightly affects acceleration; the dual-motor version still hits 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, which is impressively quick. For daily use, I’d recommend opting for the lighter version to save on electricity costs.

As an actual owner, my Alpha S single-motor version has a curb weight of about 2180kg. It's very comfortable to drive in the city, with excellent shock absorption on bumpy roads, and the heavy body makes it less prone to skidding, which is especially reassuring on rainy days. However, the range drops quickly on long trips, with a full charge of 400km shrinking to 350km in summer when the air conditioning is on, mainly due to the weight—the heavy car consumes more electricity. The increased charging frequency adds about 10 yuan more per week to my electricity bill, which I have to factor into my expenses. Compared to fuel-powered cars, electric vehicles are inherently heavier, but they are environmentally friendly and save on fuel costs. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the practicality of this model. Regular maintenance shows slightly faster tire wear, but it doesn't affect safety.

From a technical perspective, the kerb weight of the ARCFOX Alpha S varies by configuration: 2,180kg for the single motor version and 2,300kg for the dual motor version. This is primarily due to its battery pack design, which enhances energy density and safety buffers. The increased vehicle weight leads to higher aerodynamic drag and energy consumption, with an average electricity consumption of 16-18kWh/100km, but acceleration performance remains largely unaffected. The reinforced chassis adds approximately 150kg, improving crash protection. In actual driving, steering stability and grip are enhanced, though attention should be paid to charging speed adjustments.
