When Concept Cars Come To Life - HiPhi Z

HiPhi have been on the crazy sauce again and we absolutely love it. Their second model, the Z, is as barmy and futuristic as the first, but is sleeker and more racy with an ungodly amount of volts on tap and the kind of ostentatious tech befitting of a car that looks like it's from 2050. 662hp, 0-100kph in 3.8 seconds, four-wheel steering, and the ability to write digital messages on the doors, it's a car that just keeps on surprising.
Never change, HiPhi.

Great review of the Z, looking forward to some other new Chinese EVs of which there seems to be endless new brands and models being launched!

[@stevetarrant3898]

Good review, first time I have seen your channel or this brand. Nice car, futuristic and premium quality. Lots to like and a sign of things to come. As a premium vehicle most likely competing with the Tesla X and the like. Wish them well, as Musk says, production is hard. Currently an amazing 450 EV brands in China and Xi Jinping has stated he wants it thinned out quickly. Only be best and brave will survive.

[@InsideChinaAuto]

Thanks Steve, appreciate the watch and the comment. This is very definitely an interesting car and a sign of things to come. In reality there are over 80 local brands making actual cars today in China, not all have EVs yet but most are going that way if not already, and a couple of brands are very much in their last legs already this year, although a couple more are on the way too. It's a very dynamic market. Expect more casualties though for sure.

[@user-kp8ei5xj6g]

President Xi Jinping has not said these words, and there are not 450 electric vehicle brands in China, my friend

When it comes to the eventual global exports of Chinese cars for the rest of us to see - it would be reassuring that there's less emphasis on premium, executive and exotic; but reassuringly abundant in the super practical, affordable and efficient EVs that has become a vacuum in most markets.

Is public parking spaces so generous in China so let's say park in a shopping mall and open those humongous doors possible? 🤔 ..never been to China but don't see it working anywhere else in the world

[@InsideChinaAuto]

They're about the same size as normal doors to be fair, and they have sensors so that if something is there, a pole / kerb / car, etc, it will open only as far as it can. You can move them with your hand if you need to, which you tend to do automatically anyway since you're not used to electric doors. I'd say spaces here are a little bigger than Europe but smaller than the US.
