The dimensions of the BAIC Arcfox T5 are 4.76 meters in length, 1.93 meters in width, 1.65 meters in height, and 2.84 meters between the axles. Its trunk, with a capacity of 400 liters, surpasses some of its direct rivals.

Premium Features

BAIC establishes the Arcfox line as a category of premium vehicles in Brazil, and the T5 version already comes equipped with several items to support this positioning. Among the available features are a multimedia center with a 22.8-inch screen, a head-up display, panoramic sunroof, 540-degree camera, ADAS package, dual-zone air conditioning, electric tailgate, and 19-inch wheels.

MXF launches Ark 8, an electric off-road motorcycle, with prices starting from R$ 24,490

MXF Motors has started selling the Ark 8, its first fully electric model. This trail motorcycle is intended for recreational off-road use and is available in two distinct versions at dealerships.

One configuration features 17-inch front wheels and 14-inch rear wheels, priced at R$ 24,490. The second version has 19-inch front wheels and 16-inch rear wheels, costing R$ 24,990.

MXF, a company founded in 2009 and based in Curitiba, is traditionally known for its combustion-powered trail motorcycles and acts as a partner of the Chinese company Loncin in the distribution of all-terrain vehicles. The manufacturer states that the goal of this new model is to allow users to explore nature with less noise and without emitting pollutants.

Technically, the Ark 8 uses a 4 horsepower brushless electric motor, powered by a 72V system and capable of reaching peaks of 11 hp. Since it is electric, the bike does not require gear changes, as the motor is positioned in the center of the chassis and transmits power to the rear wheel via a chain.

There are three riding modes available: Eco mode limits the maximum speed to 45 km/h; Standard mode allows up to 65 km/h; and Race mode reaches 85 km/h.

The vehicle's range is guaranteed by a 72V and 35Ah ternary lithium-ion battery, which promises to travel up to 65 km. This range figure was calculated considering a rider weighing 60 kg traveling at an average speed of 45 km/h, a condition that optimizes this number.

In terms of mechanical components, the Ark 8 features inverted hydraulic front suspension, a monoshock in the rear, and hydraulic disc brakes applied to both wheels. The motorcycle's weight ranges between 77 kg and 78.6 kg, depending on the chosen configuration, and supports a load capacity of 90 kg.

Dimensions also vary according to the version: the length can range from 1.77 m to 1.84 m; the seat height is between 80 cm and 84.5 cm; and the ground clearance varies from 29 cm to 33.5 cm.

This launch occurs amid the growth of electric motorcycles in the country. According to MXF, sales in this segment more than doubled in 2025, totaling approximately 14.8 thousand units, although this volume still represents less than 1% of total motorcycle registrations.

Jetour G700 Launch in Brazil: Plug-in Hybrid SUV with Luxury Features and Sunroof

Jetour introduced its sixth SUV to the Brazilian market in early 2026, presenting the G700. This vehicle is described as a rugged jeep, built with a separate chassis from the body, and has a luxury segment focus, serving as the brand's top model globally.

The G700 will be sold in Brazil in two configurations: a five-seater and a six-seater, the latter being equipped with extra luxury features. The five-seater model maintains the traditional layout with a three-person rear seat, while the six-seater version replaces this seat with two individual seats and adds a third row for two more occupants.

In terms of dimensions, the vehicle measures 5.2 meters in length, 2.05 meters in width, 1.95 meters in height, and has a wheelbase of 2.87 meters. The trunk capacity varies significantly between versions: 966 liters in the five-seater model and 244 liters in the six-seat version.

Although there are other luxury SUVs such as the Denza B5, which is a chassis plug-in hybrid, it is smaller in size. Other luxury models like the Wey 07 and GAC GS9 offer six seats but lack the off-road capability of the Jetour G700. In terms of price range, the G700 competes with vehicles such as the Toyota SW4 Diamond, Chevrolet Silverado, Volvo XC60, and Zeekr 7X.

Jetour configured the G700 as a multifunctional plug-in hybrid jeep, promising good performance both on roads and off-road, in addition to offering a total range of up to 1,300 km. Its structure uses a separate chassis from the body, and the 34.13 kWh battery functions as an integral part of the vehicle's structure, implying that the rear axle traction is electric, without the need for a driveshaft.

The propulsion combines a 2.0 turbo gasoline engine producing 211 hp at the front and a 286 hp electric motor, complemented by a 408 hp electric motor on the rear axle. The transmission is a two-speed DHT type. Although Jetour advertises combined powers and torques of 905 hp and 115.7 kgfm, the actual performance is expected to be in the range of 800 hp and 100 kgfm, considering the engine RPM peaks.

Weighing 3,180 kg, the G700's performance is notable, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, with a maximum speed limited to 180 km/h. In the Inmetro cycle, fuel consumption is 9.3 km/l in the city and 8.7 km/l on the highway, while the purely electric range reaches 73 km under Brazilian standards. The combined range, using the 100-liter tank, can reach 1,300 km.

The vehicle is equipped for towing, supporting up to 750 kg, and has payload capacities of 507 kg in the five-seater version and 477 kg in the six-seater version. The suspension is double A, both front and rear, and the Brazilian configuration uses metal springs, unlike the pneumatic option available in China.

For traction control, the G700 has locks on the front, rear, and center differentials, with traction managed electronically through the driving mode and terrain selector. A special feature is the U-Turn function, which allows the car to rotate on its own axis off-road, causing the rear wheels to turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels.

Off-road specifications include a ground clearance of 23 cm, an approach angle of 35°, and a departure angle of 28°. The G700's wading depth capacity is 90 cm, and the dashboard displays the distance traveled through the section.

The equipment list is extensive, including an ADAS package, 540° camera, panoramic sunroof, 18-speaker sound system, massage front seats, and Nappa leather upholstery. The five-seater version is distinguished by a panoramic sunroof covering the first two rows. In terms of safety, it has eight airbags: two front, two front side, one for the driver's knees, one central, and two curtain airbags.

In the six-seater version, two airbags are added for the rear passengers, triple air conditioning, and electric folding for the third row. This top model stands out with a 17.3-inch screen installed on the roof with electric folding. Second-row occupants can watch movies on this screen while seated in seats equipped with ventilation, heating, massage, and electric adjustment, and also have a dedicated USB port. These passengers also have access to the control of the third air conditioning zone via the panel on the center console. There is also the option to adjust the front passenger seat for more space, and a retractable table is available.

The sunroof in the six-seater version is divided: the section over the front seat is fixed, while over the two rear rows there is a panoramic roof with electric opening. Both versions allow the choice between black or orange leather trim, and the available exterior colors are black, blue, or matte orange, with matte silver being exclusive to the six-seater version.

Finally, the Jetour G700 offers a seven-year warranty for the vehicle and an eight-year warranty for the traction battery, or 200,000 kilometers for both.

BAIC launches Arcfox T1 in two versions, with prices starting from R$ 129,900

Following its official presentation at the Interlagos Festival, BAIC has begun operations in Brazil. The first vehicle to be introduced to the market is the Arcfox T1, which will be available in Pro and Max versions starting in November.

This model is classified as a compact crossover but will compete in the market against established vehicles such as the Geely EX2, GAC Aiont UT, MG4 Urban, and BYD Dolphin. Prices have been disclosed, with the Pro version price being promotional until December 31, 2026, or while the first 600 units last, while the Max version price is the definitive one.

BAIC has already started its presence in Brazil with a network of 50 dealerships. Furthermore, the brand offers 24-hour support, a parts distribution center, and a concierge service accessible by phone or WhatsApp to customers.

The company's plan foresees expanding this authorized network to 150 points by the end of 2027, emphasizing its commitment to post-sale service quality, an aspect considered crucial in the acquisition of a new car.

In terms of dimensions, the Baic Arcfox T1 has a length of 4.33 meters, a width of 1.86 meters, a wheelbase of 2.77 meters, and a height of 1.57 meters, presenting a size similar to a mid-sized hatchback and its competitors.

A strong point of the vehicle is the trunk, with a capacity of 459 liters, although the measurement method was not specified; there is a temporary spare tire under the floor.

Both versions share the same mechanical package, equipped with a 95 hp and 17.9 kgfm engine. This engine drives the front axle and allows the Arcfox T1 to reach 100 km/h in 12.4 seconds.

The 42.3 kWh battery guarantees an autonomy of 283 km according to the Inmetro cycle. Regarding energy, slow charging operates at 6.6 kW, and fast charging reaches 89 kW. The rear suspension uses a torsion axle.

Following Geely's example, BAIC differentiated the Arcfox T1 versions solely by the equipment list. While the Pro version presents certain items, the Max model includes extra comfort features and stands out with the ADAS package.

The compact will be available in four shades: Eclipse Gray, Polar White, Aurora Silver, and Electric Silver, with interior options in white or black. The brand is already preparing future launches, with the next being the medium-sized Arcfox T5 model.
