Putting cars on the road that resemble true concepts: that is the motto of Humans Horizon, a Chinese manufacturer specializing in electric vehicles. With the HiPhi Z sedan, it can be said that the brand’s philosophy has been well respected.
Originally presented as a prototype a few months ago, the HiPhi Z now appears in its final version. There are no major differences between the two vehicles, aside from the disappearance of the camera mirrors. The design remains as striking as ever, with numerous LED lights (a total of 4,066 individual LEDs, some capable of displaying messages). Some will find this interesting, others may feel all these stylistic effects were really unnecessary.
Always in the spirit of spectacle, Human Horizon equipped its sedan with four opposing doors. Without falling into the ordinary, the interior is designed with a bit more sobriety than the exterior. The position of the central screen is adjustable thanks to an articulated arm.
Over 700 km of range
The HiPhi features a semi-autonomous driving system. Powered by an electric motor of 600 hp, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. The enormous battery of 120 kWh guarantees a theoretical range of 705 km (Chinese homologation cycle).
With the HiPhi Z, Human Horizon proves to those who doubted it that Chinese automotive industry can do more than just cheap cars. This is reflected in the prices, which comfortably exceed 100,000 euros in certain configurations. They range from $89,000 for the base model to $129,000 for the flagship (about €88,000 to €128,000). A rollout in Europe is clearly not on the agenda. At least, the topic has not been officially addressed!
