Arcfox Denies Malicious Attack on Deepal S07, Reserves Right to Pursue Accountability

On January 24, Qiao Xinyu, Deputy General Manager of the User Operations Center at BAIC New Energy's Arcfox brand, issued a statement responding to the recent online circulation of a comparison article titled "Arcfox T5 vs. Deepal S07." Qiao stated that the content in question clearly exhibited signs of AI generation and was highly targeted. She noted that certain media outlets and social media accounts had amplified the story without verification, causing tangible damage to Arcfox's reputation. She emphasized that Arcfox has never engaged in any malicious attacks and firmly opposes any improper conduct that disrupts market order, reserving the right to pursue legal accountability against those responsible. The day before, Deepal CEO Jiang Hairong had already announced that his company would use legal means to preserve evidence and combat industry "black PR armies" to safeguard a healthy public discourse environment. Both vehicles are midsize SUVs. The Arcfox Alpha T5 is priced between RMB 113,800 and RMB 158,800, while the Deepal S07 ranges from RMB 156,900 to RMB 174,900. Both models are available in battery-electric and extended-range variants.
