HiPhi Z (2024) - Best Luxury and Wild Electric Car!

Thanks: Borishof MhB2M5X9srtiZWMy Human Horizons HiPhi Z review This is a five-metre, all-electric, four-door shooting brake GT with 663bhp, an electric range that’s likely to be WLTP certified at nearly 350 miles, and an aesthetic that’s part Japanese manga performance aggression, part BMW i-brand tribute act and part love song to the digital technology that Human Horizons considers - rightly or wrongly - the bridge to the mobility of the future. It looks a bit of a mish-mash, covered in flashing LED light strips and bulky sensors – a little like some bargain-bin transformer toy that’s been blown up to full life size. If you’re a start-up EV maker, shouting more loudly with your design than the legacy brands, as you need to just to cut through, takes some doing at the moment – and that explains plenty about this car. So you’ll certainly notice the HiPhi Z, but Taycan-handsome, it isn’t. On the inside, the digital tech is wielded even more prominently. You enter via a motorised door, and the driving position is a little high for something that should really feel low and enveloping, with head room quite tight by luxury car standards (although the second row is roomy enough for adult passengers). Material quality is good, though - better by far than Tesla’s was at the same stage of its development - and the ambience quite rich and inviting. The cabin’s central focal point is a touchscreen infotainment system, called the HiPhi Bot, which is mounted on a robotised arm so as to automatically pivot towards the driver when it senses that you’re looking at it, or alternatively towards the front passenger. The system has great responsiveness and clarity, and really doesn’t need the gimmicky pivot mounting, which adds little to its usability. But its inclusion is typical of a car that does digital tech to excess, presumably for those who like the very latest mobile phone with the biggest screen and fanciest camera, and the biggest OLED TV their living room door can admit. On the road, the HiPhi Z does a lot quite well. Fast, genuinely rangey (our test car was advertising a real-world 350 miles on a charge) and commendably refined, it has the polished plushness of feel that you might expect to have eluded a brand with such little experience.
