The serial version of 77 ° in BAIC was not mentioned. Perhaps he will remain only a harbinger of future models of the ARCFOX brand, which by 2027 intends to increase the annual sales volume to half a million cars.

BAIC launched the Arcfox brand in 2017. In the model range there are crossovers αT, αT5, minivan Kaola, E-segment αS and compact sedan αS5.

Meanwhile, expansion was planned for Russia. Last year it was reported that BAIC signed an ARCFOX assembly agreement at the capacities of the Kaliningrad Avtotor. At what stage this project is now unknown.
