The HiPhi Z is a low-slung sedan with 22-inch wheels, a large spoiler above the rear window and a huge trunk lid that makes it look like a liftback. The doors of the car open automatically when the driver approaches, and the rear doors open against the direction of travel.
HiPhi Z wheels can turn up to 13.2 degrees in one direction with the front or in the opposite direction. This improves handling at high speeds and reduces the turning radius.
There are two power plant options. The first is with one 300 hp engine. on the rear axle, the second - with all-wheel drive and two engines with a total power of 600 hp. The traction battery has a capacity of 120 kWh and a claimed range of 705 km in the NEDC test cycle.
In addition, a driving assistance system was announced with 34 different sensors and sensors, including a lidar that rises above the windshield in the center.
The spirit of cyberpunk can be traced not only in the exterior design, but also in the interior of the electric car. The steering wheel with touch keys looks like the steering wheel of a Star Wars spaceship. There is no familiar instrument panel, instead there is a large projection screen. There is a large touch screen in the center, which displays a 3D cube with all applications.
HiPhi Bot's robotic arm rotates the display towards whoever is speaking. So if the driver gives a voice command, the screen turns to him. When a passenger commands, the screen rotates in the opposite direction. The screen can also move to the beat of the music played by the 23-speaker Meridan audio system.
HiPhi Z prices range from $89,500 to $119,400. China launch dates are expected to be announced at the Chengdu Auto Show in August. According to unofficial information, the manufacturer has already received pre-orders for 2,500 vehicles.
