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 deliveries commenced from 2023 in China, with a planned expansion 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 an arrangement between Human Horizons and the Yueda Group.[7]
Interior and technology
Like the HiPhi X,[8] the HiPhi Z can communicate with its surroundings via its PML ("Programmable Matrix Lighting") system, 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 4000 LEDs.[9]
A touchscreen is situated in the center of the dashboard, between the driver and passenger. This screen is mounted on a robotic multi-axis arm which moves automatically to orientate itself with the driver.[10]
HiPhi A
The HiPhi A is the upgraded version of the HiPhi Z in collaboration with Apollo Automobil, and debuted at Auto Guangzhou 2023 with plans to start deliveries in 2025.[11] Originally rumored to be the HiPhi Z GT, the vehicle is based on the HiPhi Z, and features a widebody kit and large spoilers with enhanced air intakes. The A stands for Apollo and Accelerator.[citation needed]
