The Arcfox Kaola is a purpose-built electric compact multi purpose vehicle (MPV) produced by the BAIC Group under the brand name Arcfox. According to Arcfox, the Arcfox Kaola is designed for mothers with babies.[1]
The Arcfox Kaola was first shown in January 2023.[2] The Kaola is a 4-seater MPV, and it has a front motor producing 163hp as standard and a top speed limited to 160 km/h. The battery is a 58.86 kWh LFP battery made by CATL and a CTLC range of 500km (300miles).[3]
Just like the BYD D1 and Bestune NAT, the Arcfox Kaola features a sliding door on the right side to prevent passengers from opening the door and potentially hitting cyclists or pedestrians.[4]
A 5-seater variant called the Kaola S was launched on August 7, 2024. Despite having absolutely no difference from the original Kaola in terms of styling, specifications, and dimensions, the Kaola S was claimed to be positioned as a compact crossover SUV.[5]
