In January, 2024, not long after, out of trust in state-owned enterprises and legendary manufacturers, a polar fox Alfa T5 was brought at a guide price of 199,800 yuan without a dime discount.
However, the quality of this polar fox Alfa T5 is disappointing. The most outrageous thing is that it was sold back and forth for three times because of various problems within less than a month.
The first time I received a phone call, I was informed that the firmware of my 360-degree image of the Alfa T5 needed to be upgraded, otherwise it might affect the use. Ask if OTA can solve the problem after the sale, but the answer is no, you must go to the sale in person to brush in the new software.
So I personally took the time to drive to the after-sales to upgrade, which took about half an hour to get it done. This is the first time.
The second failure should have been encountered by many owners of the Extreme Fox Alfa T5: the heating of the rear seat could not be turned on. Just when it was coldest in the snowy day in January, the heating of the rear seats could not be turned on, which was really a big difference.
It happens that there are other riders in the riders group who have this fault, telling them that it can be solved temporarily by breaking the small battery. So I went to the after-sales store for the second time and temporarily solved it after breaking the small battery.
A few days later, I was informed that there was something wrong with the rear seat heating module and it needed to be replaced. This time, I came to the door to replace the module. But on the day when the module was replaced, there was a third failure: the trunk could not be opened.
After the trunk couldn’t be opened, I tried various methods, but there was no solution. The switches in the trunk of the car are all gray, and there are also fault tips. In order to take things from the trunk, you can only put down the rear seat and get in from the rear, which is quite embarrassing.
The final solution is to return to the after-sales service for the third time less than a month after picking up the car, and then break the small battery again to solve the problem.
After dealing with the problem after three trips, I have to take time off every time I go, including two hours on the way back and forth, which makes me completely lose confidence in the extremely fox brand. This is not an excellent car at all, but a "semi-finished product" with many problems and bugs.
Even after two OTA repairs, there are still some problems, such as unstable mobile phone keys and too few mobile phones that can be started without induction, unstable projection of ADAS information, too slow cold start of the car, iQiyi and occasional inability to log in and so on.
Therefore, I would also like to remind prospective car owners that if you don’t have after-sales service in your local area, you really shouldn’t choose Alfa T5 because you are greedy for cheap after price reduction. If there is after-sales service in the local area, we should also be prepared to encounter bad things, which will take time and effort and affect our work and life.
This Alfa T5 shows such a crotch-pulling quality, and the sluggish sales of the Fox can be understood. What do you think of the general manager of BAIC Fox?
