Meet the Arcfox T1.

The T1 is an affordable, all-electric crossover SUV manufactured by BAIC’s electric vehicle marque.

Arcfox launched the T1 in New Zealand last week with a competitive starting price of $34,990.00 plus on-road costs.

Battery and range is a 44 kWh capacity delivering up to 310km of WLTP range and DC fast charging from 30% to 80% takes just 25 minutes.

Our first examples arrive into the showroom next week.

The market is telling us they want to see more power options, more model choice and more value for money.

We agree.

Shortly we will be welcoming several new franchise brands to our dealership and we cannot wait!

Here’s a sneak peak of one brand and model - the BAIC B30 is taking the New Zealand market by storm and next week, it will be Hawkes Bays turn to see it firsthand.

We are about to welcome something technology driven, sophisticated and truely industry leading to our showroom.

It’s on its way and about to change the way you see (and drive) a motor vehicle.

Stay tuned…

Over these past couple of weeks, we’ve been out in the JAC T9 4WD pie Ute delivering morning smoko to a number of Hawkes Bay businesses.

It’s been a great opportunity to share a pie, chat all things automotive and let people get a closer look at our JAC T9 Utes.

Huge shout out to The Rock FM and Lucy who have run the ‘text in for smoko’ competition and BJ’s Bakery for the scrummy morning smoko’s. Like the JAC T9, the smoko has been well received.

Thanks also to all the Hawkes Bay businesses that entered, it’s been a fantastic response.

It’s been 4 huge days at the national field days at Mystery Creek this week.

JAC has been a principal sponsor and we have a new JAC T9 4WD Ute to give away as the gate prize - been drawn at the conclusion of the show.

It’s also been the week to unveil the new JAC T9 PHEV Hunter ute, seen here in ‘Lava Orange’.
We have an evaluation model due later in the year before the decision to fully launch this model - so stay tuned for updates but with a reported 375kW of power and 1000Nm of torque, this is going to be a game changer in the PHEV vehicle space.

We think life’s too short to drive boring cars!

That’s why you’ll find our showroom filled with plenty of interesting European makes and models and often there’s a few vehicles with interesting histories too!

And if the vehicle you’re looking for isn’t in stock, we can source and supply what you are after. Many of the vehicles we sell don’t even make it onto our showroom floor or our website.

If you’re looking for a genuine alternative provider for your next European vehicle, we welcome your call or better still, call into our showroom at 220 Prebensen Drive in Napier.

We’ll see you there!

We are closed this Easter long weekend and will reopen on Tuesday 22nd April. Travel safe.
