<p>Arcfox has launched its new Wendao product lineup, targeting the premium market with the first model, the V9 MPV, expected to debut in Q2. The V9 features a length of 5,300 mm, a magnetorheological suspension for improved comfort, and a 1.5L engine as a range extender. Competing with models like Chery's Luxeed V9 and BYD's Denza D9, the Wendao lineup aims to enhance Arcfox's presence in the niche MPV market, which has seen declining sales in recent years. Arcfox's sales surged by 110% year-on-year in October, selling 23,387 vehicles.</p>
