GAC Aion UT vs ARCFOX T1 Max is a comparison of two compact electric hatchbacks that take opposite approaches one has far more power, the other more torque and better efficiency.
| GAC Aion UT | ARCFOX T1 Max | |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 134 hp | 95 hp |
| Torque | 145 Nm | 176 Nm |
| Battery | 44.12 kWh | 42.4 kWh |
| Quoted range | 400 km | 410 km |
| Wheelbase | 2,750 mm | 2,770 mm |
Prices for neither car were available to us, so none are quoted here.
The Most Interesting Number Is One Nobody Prints
Look again at the battery and range rows. The ARCFOX T1 Max has the smaller battery — 42.4 kWh against 44.12 kWh yet quotes the longer range, 410 km against 400 km.
Divide one by the other and you get consumption:
Aion UT: about 11.03 kWh per 100 km. ARCFOX T1 Max: about 10.34 kWh per 100 km.
That makes the T1 Max roughly 6% more efficient on these figures which is why it goes further on less battery. One caveat matters: this holds only if both range figures come from the same test cycle. Confirm that before relying on it, because comparing one cycle against another is not a fair comparison.
Power vs Torque
The GAC Aion UT makes 134 hp against the T1 Max's 95 hp a 39 hp advantage, which is substantial in cars this size. It will be the quicker of the two at higher speeds and under sustained load.
But the ARCFOX T1 Max has more torque: 176 Nm against 145 Nm. In an electric car that torque arrives instantly, so the T1 Max may well feel livelier pulling away from a standstill and through city traffic, where most of these cars will spend their lives. Power wins on the motorway; torque wins at the traffic signal.
Cabin Space
The T1 Max's wheelbase is 2,770 mm against the Aion UT's 2,750 mm 20 mm apart, which is close enough that you would not notice it from the driver's seat. Overall dimensions were not available to us for either car, so sit in both before deciding on space rather than trusting a wheelbase figure.
Charging
DC charging figures were not available to us for either car, so we are not going to compare them. Ask both dealerships for the maximum DC rate and the 30–80% time and remember that whatever they quote depends on finding a charger that can deliver it, as our guides to EV charging stations in Pakistan and EV charging on Pakistan motorways explain.
What You Gain With Each
GAC Aion UT: considerably more power and a larger battery. The bigger pack is worth noting beyond range more capacity generally means less strain per charge cycle.
ARCFOX T1 Max: more torque, better efficiency and the longer quoted range from a smaller battery. Efficiency is the quiet advantage, because it lowers what every kilometre costs you in electricity. Our report on ARCFOX cars in Pakistan covers the brand's local plans.
Which Suits Pakistan Better?
Both are compact electric hatchbacks aimed at the same buyer: someone driving mostly in the city who can charge at home. For that use, the T1 Max's torque and efficiency arguably matter more than the Aion UT's extra power, which you would rarely use.
If your driving includes regular highway running, the Aion UT's 134 hp becomes more relevant. Either way, home charging decides more than any specification here our guide to buying an EV in Pakistan works through that, and for another view of this segment see our Chery Q vs AION UT comparison.
What We Could Not Compare
Prices, charging speeds, equipment levels, dimensions and local availability were not available to us for both cars, so none of those are compared above. At this end of the market price will probably decide it — get both figures before choosing, along with the warranty and after-sales terms, which matter more on a new brand than any number on a spec sheet.
Final Verdict
On GAC Aion UT vs ARCFOX T1 Max, the Aion UT brings 39 hp more and a slightly larger battery, while the T1 Max answers with more torque, a 20 mm longer wheelbase and roughly 6% better efficiency which is how it travels further on less battery. For city driving the T1 Max's strengths suit the job better; for regular highway use the Aion UT's power counts. Prices will likely settle it, and neither was available to us. Rising fuel costs are pushing more buyers to look at both, as our coverage of EVs in Pakistan shows.
