2024 HIPHI X - BEST THE TESLA MODEL X?

EV Channels Review

The HiPhi X is presented as a luxurious, tech-packed electric SUV with a distinctive gullwing rear door design, aiming to rival established players like the Tesla Model X. While its dual-motor setup delivers a strong 590bhp and impressive acceleration (0-62mph in 3.9 seconds), the review highlights that its performance and handling, despite rear-wheel steering, are comparable to other large EVs. The vehicle's standout feature, the split gullwing doors, offers a unique wow factor but comes with practical limitations, such as restricted opening speeds and proximity sensor issues. Inside, the cabin boasts a triple-screen setup, though much of the tech is not yet European-spec. The reviewer notes the HiPhi X drives well, with exemplary refinement and excellent road noise suppression, reminiscent of premium JLR products. However, the high price point and the feeling of 'tech for tech's sake' in some features are noted drawbacks. The HiPhi X impresses as a product from a young startup, but its ultimate success may hinge on the more accessible HiPhi Y.
