As part of its global expansion plan, HiPhi, a renowned Chinese premium EV brand, introduces European pricing for its innovative X and Z models and opens the first European HiPhi Hub at Munich Airport.
What’s Happening
HiPhi, a leading premium electric vehicle (EV) brand from China, has announced the European pricing for its innovative HiPhi X and HiPhi Z models, marking a significant stride in its international expansion plan. Germany and Norway are now able to order these models, and the first vehicles have already been registered for road use after TÜV SÜD’s inspection. HiPhi’s first European Hub showroom will be soon open at Munich Airport, providing customers with a hands-on experience with these flagship models.
Why It Matters
This development signifies a major advancement for HiPhi as they broaden their reach beyond China. The launch of the HiPhi X and HiPhi Z models in the European market could potentially stir competition in the luxury EV sector. Moreover, the opening of the first HiPhi Hub in Europe at Munich Airport further solidifies HiPhi’s global presence.
Key Points
The HiPhi X is an all-electric luxury SUV, loaded with cutting-edge technology and a unique design, including no-touch automatic wing-opening doors. The powertrain comprises 220kW dual motors, enabling the vehicle to reach 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds. The 97kWh battery pack can potentially deliver a range of 460km under WLTP conditions.
The HiPhi Z, an all-electric luxury GT, began production in China in 2022. It produces a maximum output of 494kW via dual electric motors, offering an acceleration of 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds. The model’s 120kWh battery offers a potential range of 555km under WLTP conditions. One of its key features is the HiPhi Bot, a first-of-its-kind multi-axis arm infotainment system.
Bottom Line
HiPhi is determined to make its mark on the European luxury EV market with the release of the HiPhi X and Z models and the establishment of its first European HiPhi Hub. The success of these models in China is expected to extend to Europe, providing consumers with a unique blend of luxury and cutting-edge technology. With the HiPhi Y recently unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show and slated for orders in 2023, HiPhi’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
