HiPhi Z, the Chinese electric car that will surprise you

China has become not only a major car market but also a benchmark for electric mobility. The electric car market is quite powerful in this country and is becoming a benchmark for the development of electric models. The latest model with these characteristics is a car that surprises with its design and performance, the HiPhi Z.

Its design has a look somewhere between a supercar and a coupé saloon, so it is very attractive from an aesthetic standpoint. Human Horizons, the manufacturer, is taking a risk with a car featuring very complex and intricate lines. It will be presented next month, in August, at the Chengdu Motor Show 2022, and it is expected to be well received among those looking for a high-end electric vehicle.

Technology at the service of passengers

This model, which will soon enter production, is equipped with considerable technological equipment, which makes passengers more comfortable on board. The bodywork features 4,066 LED diodes, which act by providing information to the vehicle’s occupants. The doors have a customised lighting system that welcomes the occupants, and the doors are able to adjust the opening angle to make access to the interior easier.

Connectivity is very important, but so is safety. That is why the HiPhi Z offers 34 sensors and a LiDAR radar. As for comfort, the vehicle is about five metres long with a very long wheelbase, which benefits interior space and gives rear-seat occupants room for their legs.

Powertrain and range

It will be offered with one or two motors, so all-wheel drive is possible. Range is rated at 705 kilometres, thanks to a 120 kWh battery. It also features active steering on the rear wheels, which helps its manoeuvrability. With this addition, its five-metre length can move with more freedom in places where extra flexibility is required.

The price of this model will range between 87,000 and 127,000 euros, at current exchange rates.
