The Alpha Motors Ace and Saga have been unveiled as a more traditional retro-inspired pair of electrified vehicles. Penned as a fastback coupe and sedan, the subcompact EV enters the brand’s line-up as a complementary option to its Wolf bakkie.
The Alpha Motors Ace uses a single motor attached to the rear axle with a claimed range of more than 400 km and 0-97 km/h time of 6,0 seconds. Overall, it measures 4 180 mm long, 1 886 mm wide and 1 450 mm tall with a claimed mass of 1 633 kg. Fitted as standard is a set of 16-inch alloy wheels but a set of 17- and 18-inch are available. LED headlamps with signature DRLs are included as well.
Within the cabin of the Alpha Motors Ace is a pair of seats for a driver and one passenger together with a rear storage compartment that measures 396-litres. The cockpit benefits from a wide format central display with a premium sound system. The seats are upholstered in a premium trim material.
Available as a more spirited model is the Alpha Motors Ace PE which boasts a more enhanced version of the dual motor setup with an improved 0-97 km/h time of 4,6 seconds. This model is just slightly larger than the standard version and boasts a digital display for the driver. With its performance-minded body panels and 19-inch alloy wheels, this variant measures slightly larger, as well.
Those feeling more adventurous, the Alpha Motor Jax has been created. While retaining the two-door layout, this derivative sports an increased 1 634 mm height with a chunky set of off-road tyres. Available in both dual and single-motor guise, the Jax is capable of towing 839 kg worth of mass. The cabin has also been stretched out to a length of 4 560 mm to accommodate four passengers.
Consumers looking for a compact EV with everyday usability may opt for the Alpha Motors Saga. This accommodates five passengers with a more conventional four-door layout. It benefits from an increased overall length of 4 700 mm and width of 1 910 mm but the height is 10 mm lower than the Ace. This is available with the single and dual motor option as well.
