What needs to be emphasized is that the reason why the Extreme Fox Alpha S is recommended at this price and budget is, in addition to the car’s higher “quality-price ratio”, largely due to its safety, Reliable and durable.

Take Alpha S as an example. From the beginning of its development and design, it has carried out all-round strict control and comprehensive consideration from the body, battery, water wading, cockpit, anti-corrosion, information security and other dimensions.

For example, in terms of body design, all Jihu Automobile products adopt a hybrid body structure of upper steel and lower aluminum. The lightweight coefficient is industry-leading, and the body stiffness of 60,000Nm/deg is industry-leading. And at the China Automobile Safety Conference and China Car Body Conference held in October last year, Jifox Alpha S beat the crowd and won the "China's Top Ten Car Body" and "Best Material" awards in one fell swoop.

Since then, it has received a 5-star evaluation from CA-CAP (China Automotive Corrosion Resistance and Aging Performance Evaluation Procedure), and won the first batch of vehicle corrosion resistance test evaluation platinum certificates with a score of 92.3 points. .

As for battery safety, which consumers are generally concerned about, Jihu Automobile’s entire range of products has also taken system-level considerations from battery cells to battery PACK packages to battery management systems. and safety protection.

With all-round protection, the Polar Fox Alpha S is both "prestigious" and "safe" at such an important node as the Spring Festival, so it is quite worthy of recommendation.
