HiPhi Z Pure electric Sedan

The introduction of HiPhi Z Pure electric Sedan in the early stages caused a significant impact within the automotive industry. It has been over two years since Gaohe released HiPhi Z Car, and at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, HiPhi unveiled its inaugural pure electric mid-to-large vehicle.
The mecha's design exudes a distinct sci-fi aesthetic, while the interior texture showcases exceptional craftsmanship. Upon my initial encounter with the HiPhi Z Car, I even found it to possess a more sophisticated allure compared to the Porsche Taycan.

The new car features a distinctively innovative mecha design, characterized by sleek body lines that exude a strong mechanical aesthetic. Its dimensions are wider and lower compared to conventional sports cars, further enhanced by the striking two-color combination, resulting in an exceptionally impactful visual impression.

Moreover, the HiPhi Z Car is equipped with a second-generation PM programmable smart headlight system that not only provides daily lighting but also supports projection function. By collaborating with the star ring ISD light curtain system, the car lights offer a wider range of combinations and playing methods. During the demonstration at the event, audience members showcased features such as U-turn and personalized lighting effects.

The HiPhi Z Car vehicle incorporates a multitude of aerodynamic component designs to enhance its aerodynamic performance, with the inclusion of an AGS active air intake grille on its front face. Additionally, when the speed exceeds 80km/h, the rear wing of this innovative car will automatically deploy to generate downforce.
The HiPhi Z Car also features a side-by-side door design, which adds to the ceremonial experience of entering and exiting the vehicle through the front and rear electric doors. Additionally, the frameless door design enhances its overall aesthetic appeal.

When I test drove the HiPhi Z Car on the road, it garnered significant attention from numerous pedestrians, with some even capturing moments by taking pictures using their mobile devices. However, personally speaking, I find the design of the HiPhi Z Car to be somewhat avant-garde, which undeniably appeals to younger demographics but may not resonate as well with certain older consumers.

For the interior, HiPhi Z Car maintains the futuristic design style of the exterior, and the incorporation of intricate center console lines adds a sense of depth to the entire cabin. The interior of this new vehicle features a combination of luxurious materials such as suede, NAPPA leather, metallic decorative elements, and glossy black accents, complemented by holographic illusion leather. I find this blend of textures truly exceptional!
The shape of the steering wheel in the car is also appealing to me, and the tactile feedback of the touch screen buttons is perfectly calibrated. However, I find that the leather fabric tends to be somewhat slippery.

It should be noted that HiPhi Z Car does not feature an LCD instrument panel, with the HUD head-up display function replacing its position. The combination of a 15.05-inch AMOLED touch screen and streaming media rearview mirror forms the car's display system, exuding a strong sense of technology. The striking large screen configuration of HiPhi Z is complemented by the inclusion of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. In comparison to HiPhi X, I believe that the overall operating system fluency has significantly improved.
In terms of car-machine systems, the HiPhi Z Car is equipped with a new HiPhi OS system developed by Gaohe. The built-in voice interaction system only supports Chinese language recognition. Additionally, the HiPhi Bot, an intelligent digital robot integrated into the system, exhibits a high level of interactivity and offers features such as screen rotation and location-based listening.

It is regrettable that the driving assistance function of HiPhi Z has not been made available for trial use during this test drive, and even the automatic parking function has not been demonstrated, requiring manual operation for parking positioning. However, while driving the vehicle, I have observed some indications: currently, the driving assistance function of HiPhi Z does not support small animal and traffic light recognition, which may only become available for trial after completion of the next OTA update.

In terms of comfort, the HiPhi Z Car performed exceptionally well. In the four-seater model I tested, the two rear seats are visually luxurious and offer a certain degree of backrest adjustment. As a tester measuring 180cm in height, I found ample headroom with three fingers to spare and more than enough legroom with over two punches to spare, which is quite generous. Additionally, the rear seats are equipped with independent screens for seamless control of multimedia, air conditioning, and seat adjustments. However, if this set of seats were complemented by leg rests, it would undoubtedly enhance the overall comfort.

The HiPhi Z Car is equipped with a panoramic canopy, which provides exceptional transparency to the entire cockpit space. Moreover, this panoramic canopy offers excellent heat insulation properties by effectively isolating both ultraviolet and infrared rays. Personally, I am particularly fond of the British Treasure audio system installed in the car. Boasting 23 speakers and supporting 7.1.4 channels, this audio system flawlessly reproduces various genres of music including pop, rock, and classical compositions, delivering an immersive audio-visual experience.

After the static experience, I proceeded to test the HiPhi Z Car as well. Initially, I engaged the comfort mode which proved sufficient for driving on urban roads. In this mode, the dynamic response of the HiPhi Z remains notably positive and overtaking fuel-powered vehicles becomes relatively effortless. Moreover, when starting at traffic lights, it exhibits a commendable ability to accelerate promptly.

After engaging the sports mode and fully depressing the accelerator pedal, I discovered that the 3.8-second braking capability was truly exceptional. The forceful sensation of being pushed back was remarkably pronounced in that moment. However, if you find yourself driving within urban areas, I would strongly advise against utilizing the sports mode. Especially for novice drivers, controlling such rapid acceleration may prove to be challenging.

The chassis suspension system of HiPhi Z exhibits remarkable stability and solidity, demonstrating a lack of unnecessary shaking across various road conditions. It even imparts the impression that its chassis adjustment is akin to that of an experienced sports brand. Moreover, thanks to the integration of air suspension and CDC, HiPhi Z effectively filters out vibrations and noise when traversing road bridge joints and encountering potholes. However, if HiPhi Z could enhance its road feel feedback capabilities further, it would undoubtedly elevate the driving experience.

Compared to the HiPhi X, the HiPhi Z exhibits distinct differences and showcases more refined product concepts. It can be asserted that the HiPhi Z boasts an attractive and assertive design, superior interior quality, a technologically advanced large screen combination, exceptional comfort, and outstanding driving control performance. These aspects are truly exhilarating. However, it is regrettable that the trial use of the driving assistance function in the HiPhi Z has not yet been made available. Despite this limitation, considering its overall product performance, I believe that the HiPhi Z Pure electric Sedan indeed possesses the confidence to challenge Porsche Taycan. Nevertheless, at a brand level, this automotive company still requires a certain period of time for establishment as it remains a newcomer.
