The Arcfox Kaola (Chinese: 极狐考拉) is a battery electric minivan produced by the BAIC Group under the brand name Arcfox. According to Arcfox, the Kaola is designed for mothers with babies.[1]
The Kaola was first shown in January 2023.[2] The Kaola is a 4-seater MPV, and it has a front motor producing 163 hp (122 kW; 165 PS) 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 CLTC range of 500 kilometres (310 mi).[3]
Just like the BYD D1 and Bestune NAT, the Kaola features a sliding door on the right side to prevent passengers from opening the door and potentially hitting cyclists or pedestrians.[4]
