ARCFOX T5 vs Apex: What Does the Extra Rs300,000 Buy?

Sazgar has opened bookings for the ARCFOX T5 REEV in Pakistan, with prices starting at Rs10.195 million. The range-extended SUV made its local debut at the New Wheels Expo 2026 in Karachi.

Buyers can choose between the standard T5 REEV and the higher-spec Apex, which costs Rs10.495 million. The Rs300,000 difference buys additional comfort equipment, while both variants share the same powertrain, battery and performance figures, according to PakWheels.

ARCFOX T5 price, booking and delivery

The standard variant requires a booking payment of Rs2.05 million, compared with Rs2.1 million for the Apex.

Variant Price Booking payment Expected delivery
T5 REEV Rs10,195,000 Rs2,050,000 3–4 months
T5 REEV Apex Rs10,495,000 Rs2,100,000 3–4 months

Buyers should confirm final on-road costs, registration charges and applicable taxes with authorised ARCFOX or Sazgar dealerships. The announced delivery window remains an estimate.

The T5 forms part of Sazgar’s initial ARCFOX introduction alongside the smaller T1 electric hatchback. The two models target different needs: the T1 runs entirely on battery power, while the T5 includes a petrol range extender.

Electric drive with petrol backup

The Pakistan-spec T5 produces 268 hp and 365 Nm of torque. Both variants use a 27.4 kWh battery.

Its electric motor drives the vehicle, while the petrol engine generates electricity when additional energy is necessary. This arrangement allows electric driving with petrol backup for longer journeys.

ARCFOX claims 193 km of electric-only range under the NEDC test cycle and a combined range of 1,060 km. These figures represent manufacturer claims rather than independently verified results on Pakistani roads.

The company also claims DC charging from 20% to 80% in under 15 minutes. Charger output, battery temperature and operating conditions will influence actual charging times.

The SUV measures 4,760 mm long, 1,936 mm wide and 1,650 mm high, with a 2,845 mm wheelbase.

Apex equipment and ownership considerations

Highlighted equipment includes a glass roof and an 18-speaker immersive sound system. The Apex adds front-row massage seats without increasing power or battery capacity.

A launch report also lists a six-year or 150,000 km general warranty. Battery coverage extends to eight years or 160,000 km. Buyers should confirm the applicable terms and exclusions when booking.

At roughly Rs10 million, the T5 enters the same shopping bracket as the Deepal S05 REEV. Its appeal centres on combining everyday electric driving with less dependence on public charging during intercity trips.

However, fuel savings will depend on charging frequency and driving patterns. Owners must also maintain a petrol engine and fuel system alongside the electric components.

For Sazgar, after-sales service, battery support and parts availability will matter as ARCFOX establishes itself locally. Resale performance will become clearer as deliveries begin and the ownership base grows.
