The Arcfox Kaola 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]
Overview
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 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 km.[3]
