Sazgar, a leading automotive company in Pakistan, is preparing to launch two new electric vehicles (EVs) from the Chinese brand Arcfox. The vehicles, the Arcfox T1 EV and the Arcfox T5 REEV, are set to join Sazgar's existing portfolio of Chinese automotive brands, which includes GWM and BAIC.
According to Sazgar's senior management, vehicle samples are expected to arrive in Pakistan in approximately 10 days. Initially, the company planned to display these vehicles at the Pakistan Auto Show 2026, but shipping delays have prevented them from arriving in time for the event.
Arcfox is a Chinese new-energy vehicle brand owned by BAIC Group, one of China’s major state-owned automotive groups. The brand was established in 2017 and made its international debut at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Arcfox is known for its focus on higher-end technology and autonomous driving technologies, with its vehicles co-engineered with Canadian manufacturing company Magna.
The Arcfox T1 EV is a subcompact electric hatchback/crossover. In Pakistan, it will compete with affordable EVs such as the BYD Atto 2, MG4 EV, and Dongfeng Vigo. The T1 uses a single electric motor driving the front wheels and relies entirely on battery power, with no petrol-powered backup. Its specifications include a battery capacity of 33.4 kWh or 42.3 kWh LFP, a range of 320–425 km, and a motor output of 70 kW to 95 kW.
The Arcfox T5 REEV is a mid-size SUV that combines an electric drivetrain with a 1.5-liter petrol range extender. The petrol engine is used only to generate electricity for the battery and does not directly drive the wheels. This allows the T5 REEV to operate like an electric vehicle while extending its overall driving range. In Pakistan, it will compete with range-extended and plug-in SUVs such as the Deepal S05 and Forthing Friday. The T5 REEV has a peak power of 200 kW (268 hp) and a peak torque of 360 Nm, with a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 6.5 seconds. Its EV range is 215 km, and its combined range is 1,215 km.
Sazgar has not yet announced an official launch, unveiling, booking, or pricing date for the Arcfox vehicles. The company plans to assemble and sell vehicles from both BAIC and GWM in Pakistan, with Arcfox vehicles following a different design language and product philosophy from GWM models.
As a result of the launch, Sazgar will offer a wider range of electric vehicles to Pakistani consumers, catering to different market segments and preferences. The introduction of these new models is expected to boost the EV market in Pakistan and provide consumers with more options in the electric vehicle segment.
