The Y joins HiPhi’s dual flagship models, the X and Z.
Intended as a luxury mainstream model, the Y follows the same "LuxTech" philosophy as the other two models.
It brings a number of first-in-class features, including the second-generation no-touch automatic wing-opening doors, the robotic arm-mounted infotainment screen and the active all-wheel-steering.
These advanced equipment are 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 810km on a single charge, pushing the limits of long-distance EV ability. The standard battery is 76.6kWh, giving up to 560km range.
Four-wheel, dual motor versions have peak power of up to 371kW, allowing for acceleration from 0-100kph in just 4.7 seconds.
Rear-wheel-drive single motor versions have peak power of 247kW.
At the same time, the Y is equipped with advanced front double wishbone suspension and rear five-link suspension.
A chassis integrated control system uniformly is able to deploy 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.
The Y features an interior equipped with three advanced screens, including a 17-inch OLED center display, 15-inch HD front passenger touch screen and 12.3-inch full LCD instrument screen.
All models also receive a 22.9-inch HD colour heads-up display and a 9.2-inch streaming media rearview mirror.
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.
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.
The Y is available to order now, with examples already delivered to HiPhi Hub showrooms across China. Prices start from 339,000 yuan (RM215,000).
Customers in Europe will also be able to order a HiPhi Y before the end of 2023, with first deliveries in 2024.
