The Chinese EV Brand, HiPhi, has officially launched its latest model, the mid-size SUV, HiPhi Y.
The Y joins HiPhi’s dual flagship models, the X ‘Super SUV’ and Z ‘Digital GT’.
Intended as a luxury mainstream model, the Y follows the same ‘LuxTech’ philosophy as the X and Z. It brings a number of alleged ‘first-in-class’ features, including the revolutionary second-generation no-touch automatic wing-opening doors, the robotic arm-mounted infotainment screen and the active all-wheel-steering.
All this high-tech equipment and more is standard across the HiPhi Y range, which consists of Flagship, Long Range, Elite and Pioneer versions. The Long Range model comes equipped with a 115kWh battery and can travel up to 503 miles on a single charge. The standard battery is 76.6kWh, giving up to 348 miles of range.
Four-wheel, dual motor versions have a peak power of up to 371kW, allowing for acceleration from 0-62 miles/hour in just 4.7 seconds. Rear-wheel-drive single motor versions have a peak power of 247kW. At the same time, HiPhi Y is equipped with advanced front double wishbone suspension and rear five-link suspension. A chassis integrated control system deploys various actuators to achieve the best body control at all times, while the active all-wheel-steering provides stability at high speeds and additional agility at low speeds.

Behind the front passenger touch screen is a HiPhi Box high-performance computer equipped with a Qualcomm 8250 chip, able to support media casting and Bluetooth connectivity for a keyboard and mouse.
HiPhi Y is also equipped with a Meridian™ Audio System, featuring up to 25 speakers throughout the car, including two speakers only for the driver. The maximum power output of the amplifier platform is 2,820W and the system has 7.1.4 surround sound.
