Human Horizons, the Chinese automaker behind the HiPhi line, has begun deliveries of the Y model crossover, according to autohome.com.cn. The launch marks the third entry for the brand, following the X crossover and Z sedan, and signals HiPhi’s ongoing push into premium electric C-segment mobility. The Y measures 4938 mm in length and sits on a 2950 mm wheelbase, with a five‑seat interior that accommodates the driver and four passengers in comfortable, driver-focused quarters. A standout feature is the frameless rear doors, which can be opened in tandem with the roof segments at a simple press of a button, adding a futuristic touch to the vehicle’s access and styling.
Inside, occupants are greeted by a three-display orchestration: a 12‑inch digital instrument cluster, a tall 17‑inch vertical touchscreen, and a 15‑inch display dedicated to the front passenger. Rolling on 21‑inch wheels, the HiPhi Y also offers a head‑up display, eight airbags, and a robust driver assistance package backed by a network of sensors: 13 cameras and 12 ultrasonic radars. A practical convenience feature is a 6.4‑liter refrigerator integrated into the central armrest.
Pricing for the HiPhi Y spans from 339,000 to 449,000 yuan, which translates to approximately 4.3 to 5.7 million rubles, depending on configuration. The entry variant employs a single electric motor delivering 336 horsepower and 410 Nm of torque to the rear axle, paired with a battery pack that enables up to 560 kilometers of range on a full charge. An extended-range version is offered at an additional cost, boosting range to as much as 810 kilometers. The top configuration adds all‑wheel drive with dual electric motors producing about 505 horsepower and 620 Nm, yielding a claimed range of 765 kilometers.
In related industry news, the public conversation about high‑volume electric pickup capabilities continues, as evidenced by ongoing coverage of Tesla’s Cybertruck, including a notable two‑year delay in the model’s rollout—an element that has shaped investor expectations and consumer interest around premium electric trucks and crossover utilities. This broader context helps frame the HiPhi Y’s positioning within a competitive market of luxury EVs that blend striking design with advanced technology and substantial range.
