A new era of intelligent mobility has officially arrived in Bahrain as Khalil Kanoo Motors unveiled Arcfox, one of the world’s fastest-growing premium electric vehicle (EV) brands, at its state-of-the-art showroom in Tubli.
The landmark launch event marks a significant shift in the kingdom’s automotive landscape, bringing a suite of high-tech, sustainable transport solutions to a market increasingly hungry for efficiency and innovation.
The ceremony was attended by Khalil Kanoo Motors president Suzan Salman Kanoo, vice-president K N Singh, director Angad Singh, and Arcfox country manager for GCC Lich Yang, alongside management officials and guests.
Arcfox enters the kingdom with a clear mission: to combine advanced electric performance with industry-leading intelligence.
The brand’s lineup is built upon the world-renowned CATL battery technology, offering ranges of up to 560km and revolutionary charging costs that start from as little as BD21 for 10,000km of driving.
Speaking at the launch, Ms Kanoo emphasised the strategic importance of the partnership.
“We are proud to introduce Arcfox to Bahrain, bringing a new era of intelligent electric mobility to our customers,” she said. “This marks an important step towards offering advanced, future-ready automotive solutions in the kingdom, supporting Bahrain’s vision for a cleaner, more efficient future.”
Mr Angad Singh echoed these sentiments, noting that the evolving demands of Bahraini drivers require a blend of prestige and practicality.
“The Arcfox range is for customers who seek advanced technology and comfort. We seek to stay at the forefront of the vehicle buying and driving experience in Bahrain,” he added.
Headlining the entry-level premium segment is the Arcfox T1, a vehicle designed to spark a ‘90 per cent savings revolution’. While a standard petrol car in Bahrain costs approximately BD300 to cover 10,000km, the T1 slashes that expenditure to just BD21. Beyond the economics, the T1 offers a driving range of over 400km and ultra-fast charging that provides significant power in just 15 minutes.
The ‘fully loaded’ package, priced at BD8,950, includes VAT, registration, insurance, and a seven-year service package, making it one of the most competitive high-tech offerings in the market.
Recognising that modern families have unique requirements, Arcfox introduced the Kaola. Designed specifically around the health and safety of children, the Kaola features electric sliding doors for stress-free school runs and an interior crafted from toxic-free, baby-friendly materials.
The Kaola is a ‘lounge on wheels’, featuring 29 smart storage spaces and a silent drive that ensures a calm environment for young passengers.
With a 500km range and a five-star safety rating, it is offered at BD10,950 with an all-inclusive package that covers everything from home charger installation to an eight-year battery warranty.
For those demanding a more commanding presence, the T5 premium SUV serves as a bold statement of status. Engineered for drivers who refuse to compromise on power, the T5 delivers instant torque and effortless acceleration.
The T5’s high-tech command centre is powered by a Snapdragon chip, offering full voice control and a Level 2+ ADAS suite. With a massive 560km range, the T5 is designed for the executive who values both the thrill of a powerful drive and the silence of a luxury cabin. Its Aegis safety protection ensures that this performance is always backed by world-class security.
Finally, the S5 sport sedan caters to the thrill-seekers. This futuristic sedan redefines speed, sprinting from zero to 100 km/h in a staggering three seconds. Its industry-leading aerodynamic design ensures a low-drag coefficient, making high-speed travel feel effortless and precise.
The S5 interior is a digital sanctuary, featuring an AR Head-Up Display and a 15-speaker premium sound system with a dedicated subwoofer. Driven by the same advanced CATL technology found across the range, the S5 offers 500km of range, proving that high performance and long-distance sustainability can coexist in one sleek package.
A standout feature of the Arcfox launch in Bahrain is the ‘hassle-free’ ownership model. Khalil Kanoo Motors has reinforced its commitment to a seamless ownership experience by ensuring that every vehicle, from the T1 to the S5, is backed by a comprehensive support structure.This all-inclusive package features a seven-year or 150,000km service agreement alongside an extensive eight-year or 150,000 km warranty for the battery and motor.
To further simplify the transition to electric mobility, each purchase includes a complimentary home charger with professional installation, one year of comprehensive insurance, and the added security of 24/7 vehicle recovery.
“Arcfox is built on advanced technology and intelligent systems,” commented Mr Yang. “We are excited to bring this vision to Bahrain and support the growing demand for electric mobility.”
The full Arcfox range is now available for public viewing and test drives at the Khalil Kanoo Motors BAIC showroom in Tubli.
“With its mix of intelligence, efficiency, and adrenaline-pumping performance, Arcfox is set to become a common sight on the roads of the kingdom,” Mr Angad Singh said.
