HiPhi Z review: the all-electric Super GT from China HiPhi Z: 662bhp, 605lb ft, 0-62 in 3.8 Radical looks and radical tech Over 4000 LEDs on the exterior While it might look like a prop from the latest Transfomers movie, this is a full production version of the HiPhi Z – another new Chinese electric car from another new Chinese electric car brand. It reaches its first European customers in August 2023, and though prospective UK buyers will have a couple of years to wait before right-hand drive models are available, we were hardly going to turn down the chance to drive a 662bhp dual-motor ‘Super GT’ so… individual. You think the appearance is tricky to swallow at first encounter? Then get a load of the price, which in Germany – the first European market alongside Norway – starts at 105,000 Euros. This is no budget land grab but an attempt on the legacy kings, leveraging a new kind of ‘LuxTech’ premium EV appeal. There is a lot to unpack here, so haul on one of the fetchingly purple seat belts and strap yourself in. The HiPhi Z is certainly different… You’ve basically nailed the marketing strategy in one. HiPhi is out to not exactly shock, but at least give you and your friends something to talk about. The buyer profile in China is mostly wealthy multi-car owners looking for exclusivity – although with HiPhi’s other model, the X SUV, becoming the bestselling premium EV in China within months of its launch in 2021, the brand seems to have stabbed itself in the foot in the most successful way possible. That’s a trick no other homegrown product had previously managed, incidentally, and the HiPhi X is coming to Europe as well. But for now, let’s concentrate on the Z. Hard to think of a more out-there concept-looking production model since the BMW i8. And pulling up to the kerb – any kerb – the HiPhi Z has the same kind of pedestrian-halting presence as the first wild encounters with that. There’s an even greater amount of visual theatre here, in fact, as the Z has 4066 LEDs integrated into exterior: 1314 on the sides and 2752 spread across the front and rear. This gives it matrix headlights that can be programmed with bespoke video sequences, the ability to signal the world at large with emojis on each corner, and digital flanks that warn passers-by the doors are about to open or scroll your own written message. Be nice now. The doors in turn are power operated, and open – conventional front, backwards rear – to 90 degrees. Revealing a four- or five-seater interior layout that dazzles with more lights, lots of vegan leather surfaces, and a central screen mounted on a robotic arm that can automatically adjust its angle to suit your perspective. It really is as if HiPhi has spent years staring at concept cars revolving on motorshow turntables and wondered: why can’t that be real? Which of the Chinese automotive giants is behind all this, then? Read More Instagram ▶ TikTok ▶ @cartvpress Facebook ▶
