ONE OF CHINA'S STRANGEST ELECTRIC CARS YET? HIPHI X REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The HiPhi X, Human Horizons' flagship SUV, presents a striking and technologically advanced package, albeit one that attempts to do too much. The reviewer highlights its impressive features, including programmable LED lighting, rear-wheel steering for enhanced maneuverability, and a luxurious interior with extensive screen real estate and sustainable materials. However, the car's complexity is a recurring theme, with the reviewer finding the keyless entry system and overall interface overly complicated. While the 97 kWh battery offers a claimed 550 km range, the reviewer notes this is somewhat disappointing for such a heavy vehicle. Performance is exceptional, with a 0-100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds, though the reviewer cautions against using this speed with multiple passengers. Practicality is questioned, particularly the cramped third row and lack of windows, leading to a claustrophobic feel. Despite its flaws, the HiPhi X is recognized for its potential to influence future EV technology and materials, serving as an important halo car for the brand.
