The HiPhi Z is a model of battery electric five-door shooting brake from Chinese car manufacturer HiPhi. The vehicle was first presented as a concept in China in November 2021.[2][3] The car is sold alongside the HiPhi X, an SUV that shares much of its electric platform with the HiPhi Z.
History
The HiPhi Z was first revealed to the public in Shanghai in November 2021 in pre-production form and was officially launched in the summer of 2022 at the Chengdu Motor Show, China.[4]
Customer delivers commenced from 2023 in China, with a planned expansion beyond its home market and into Europe.[5]The production car is built alongside the HiPhi X[6] at the Dongfeng Yueda Kia (DYK) plant in Yancheng Province, China, as part of a collaborative arrangement between Human Horizons and the Yueda Group.[7]
Interior and technology
The interior exhibits HiPhi's "TECHLUXE approach". Like the HiPhi X,[8] the HiPhi Z can communicate with its surroundings via its PML ("Programmable Matrix Lighting") with the HiPhi Z adding the "Star Ring" ISD ("Intelligent Signal Display") which allows messages and graphics to feature on the Z's doors, using over 4000 LEDs.[9]
A touchscreen of 15 inches is situated in the center of the dashboard, between the driver and passenger. This screen is mounted on what HiPhi calls its "HiPhi Bot", a robotic multi-axis arm which moves automatically to orientate itself with the driver. It can also be manually positioned, and rotates through 360 degrees, allowing the display to be situated in either portrait or landscape modes.[10]
The HiPhi Z has a 23 speaker hifi system.[11]
