I kinda like the idea of the roof port, because car entertainment systems are rarely as good as personal devices in terms of content and flexibility.
A note on price below, as well as a couple small mistakes we want to correct.
We didn’t include prices in our video, because they weren’t available during filming. However, we now know that prices here in China will range from about 47,500-63,000 USD. No idea what the price will be in Europe when it debuts!
I misstated the size of the frunk, it’s 85L, not 81. Also, the fridge in the center console is 6.4L, not 6. Apologies!

Good to see ev from China gaining traction
And ofcourse ur channel is booming now aswell 💥
"Double it and give it to the next country"
Please do a china version model y
@@nacho2973if you’re referring to the Tesla Model Y, that would be kind of a waste of time. There is essentially no difference between it and the version available elsewhere.

Man the Hi Phi Z is the coolest looking car I've ever seen I can't believe so many people dislike it
我喜歡但不能來臺😊
@@user-c9366surejoin the motherland for discounts
To prove I'm right: I just saw a video from the channel "Carwow" where he drives the Hi Phi Z into an English village and he gets mobbed by people who love the car and want to take pictures of it! Video is called "This is the most attention-grabbing car I've ever driven!"
Impressive how far HiPhi/Human Horizon has come. I thought the X was a hoax, but it proved otherwise and had sold quite some cars; and with the Z being a genuinely good car, the Y may actually be a volume seller. Good luck to them.
My first impression of the X was similar. I figured it had way too many gimmicks to actually work in the real world, but then I drove it and it was genuinely impressive. The fact that it’s sold quite well for such an expensive car shows that others agree.
The hotel shuttle my company uses in Chengdu is a HiPhi model X. Those rear doors are super cool but also kinda temperamental. Many a times they refuse to open or detect some non-existent obstacle and stop halfway. Spoke to a few owners and some of those experienced the same. Hope they worked on that with this Y.
same, all door operators are pain. Including Industrial grade door operatior.
I’m not surprised to here you say that, as the same is true for every car with this type of automatic door that I’ve driven. The latest ones are better at detecting objects and not opening into them, but that often makes them too sensitive. There’s a specific area where you have to stand, otherwise the door will identify you as an obstacle and not open. As cool as they are, I sometimes miss the good old days of opening things with a handle!
Chengdu! Visited there, years ago.... I'm sure the roads are paved by now...
Amazingly timing on the doors opening in the intro! Props to the production team 😂 0:47
If only I could remember who was holding the walkie talkie and telling the guy inside the car to open the doors. He was the true hero of that intro, but sadly, he'll never get his due.
it’s not a car anymore that’s a drivable gadget!😂
This is the trend in Chinese car making now
Cry harder
Thanks for another great review with lots of details. Added it to our article about the HiPhi Y and currently at our frontpage.
Excellent. I thought the Z is amazing, it's good that the EV company with the most ambitious design is still coming up with new models!!!
HiPhi needs to come to Canada, I'm sick of the EV selections here. 🤬🤬
@@dpan-gz8tvlike HUAWEI Xiaomi😂
No, American government won’t allow it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The interior is very unique and premium!
Looks a lot nicer than their other models
Great work Ethan. A very futuristic SUV.
Beautiful and futuristic design
Just an awesome BEV. Great review Ethan.
I would totally get one if it was available here in the u.s. The only thing I really dislike about ev are their bs ramge . Tesla stated the model y has 330 miles, but I personally can't even get it to run 260, and I don't even drive like a maniac
Everyone put the ''driving down a hill'' range.
You get 260 because you drive mostly highway at 70 mph - 75 mph.
You drive slower at 20 - 45 mph you'll get 330 miles range.
Sharp and enthusiastic commentary
What an incredible car🔥❤️👍 from 2034
I like that Cars a lot. Congratulations HiPhi for that verry spezial Cars. Greatings from Benztown Germany. 🫶👍✌️✊
Hm.. there is a Chinese man in his car. 2:30 it made me laugh hahaha
that is so funny 😂
Greatvreview.This car from the future 车轮哥，i think the Saudi more interested in the U8 n U 9 more. Looking forward to see u get your hands on those models
You and me both! Can't wait to drive the Yangwang models.
Way too many moving parts to go wrong after some usage..
But looks better than the bz4z.
The Tesla Model X and Y are sold in China too, aren't they? I'd think so if the 3 and Y are made there too. So seems weird HiPhi would name their SUVs X and Y as well.
I admit HiPhi lack some creativity in their naming system, I also don't think Tesla hold the patent of the 26 letters, remember Ford made Model T that was made a century ago?
@@EeeLife Yeah and I believe due to Ford patenting Model E, Tesla had to go with 3 instead funnily enough. So of course the Z is whatever and I understand their first models are going for XYZ, it's just interesting that their large and small SUVs have the same names as Teslas.
@@shroomyesc look no further than Chinese ev designs pre 2019&tesla going there. And post tesla opening the Shanghai factory.
Says all anyone with 2 eye's to see clearly needs to understand. Pure shameless copycat ripoffs all of em, from false claims about leading in structural pack's, energy density, perf, charging, safety, price point's etc.
Which is why the true global ev sales leader with just 1 factory and 2 model's is nearly 10% of China's ev market alone=tesla!
Imagine if the ccp hadn't held them back from expanding the gigahai plant twice now? Or if tesla had the compact car out already. 😀
特斯拉在中国被定义为做工很差的电动车
Curious what social score limit is required to own/rent/drive this car? Gratitude for review. Strength! GODspeed!
The car is great but I love the place where you shoot from! Looks swanky Eastern minimalist af - is that the HiPhi dealership in Shanghai?
That was an art space that HiPhi rented for this launch event. It really was a beautiful place to shoot!
SUPER DUPER WOW FACTOR DESIGN & PRACTICALITY.
BUT, IS IT RELIABLE ENOUGH?
I prefer the look of this Y over the Z, a car which looks like a Nissan GTR in a racing game. This Y looks like a relative of Lexus cars. I'm not so confident with so much features, more chance/risk for a problem that can be annoying or that needs a visit to the dealership.
if you want the features it is better that they are there. if not then don't use them or go for a different car altogether
@@FlamencoDeniz exactly. Even the European luxury car brands have reliability issues due to ever increasing complexity or features
I would purchase this vehicle if available in the US.
Will be national security threat.
Might be the coolest Chinese Premium EV Brand. Thry're one step ahead comparing to Nio, Li ...etc. That's why they get 6 billion USD aid from the Saudis.
I think this looks better than Lotus Eletre. Some parts of Lotus Eletre looks short
Nice car. I like the potential range.
Dash is a little busy for my taste. And a bit to modern. The fridge is nice. And the space is a bonus.
The doors are cool, but not my taste. This vehicle seems to be trying to appeal to the young tech crowd and the old fuddy duddy crowd. Might be better to be more focused. But nice car.
Hello from Texas!
Excuse my language. But my samsung screen is messing up. 😢
The interior kind of gives Polestar vibes, especially the upcoming 3/4/5 models
Polstar has quite a boring interior tbh. the HiPhi looks a lot more exciting and more premium.
Polestar also is China brand
Nice review, Ethan! HiPhy seems to have copied your logo, but turned it sideways 😉
Will this car be available in the USA
Hollywood's Near-future Science fiction car finally comes into reality
Hello & gweetings from Z Republic of Cebu 😉
still cannot get over any falcon doors that do not sync during open and close...
Hello, I'm from France and your test on the Hipfi Y SUV was nice. Can you tell me on which site we could configure it for a future purchase to receive it in France with the English language for the operation of the screen system. Kind regards. Thank you in advance for your feedback
A magnificent car for sure
I hope the wing doors have sensors when car is in a indoor carpark with 7ft ceiling height. 😂
it has. Just test drove yesterday. I think both the side doors and wing doors have the functionality
Thanks
You didn't talk of the cost? 😢
Hello ! what's that strange cushion behind your neck as you drive ? Headrest is not comfortable ? Thanks for your enjoyable videos !!!
Those cushions are very popular here in China, so manufacturers have started including them as standard or selling them to consumers instead of letting the aftermarket make all the money. Personally, I don't find them that comfortable.
@@Wheelsboy thanks for the answer. That was strange from a french point of view ! We don't have any cushion... Aftersales market is well developped in China ? I don't see many trailers or bike rack in videos ?
This is the most quiet suv review I Have ever seen and I have seen thousands... no background sound at all...
hiphi👍👍
This is really nice
cool car
They ruined it with the vertical center infotainment screen.
need this in usa
I like this. It is practical, but with tons of the typical Chinese ev gimmicks
Confirmed gimmicks?
I would like to test these Chinese cars on Ugandas rough roads to see how they hold up
Hi WheelsBoy. Could you please confirm this for me if you could :
I heard the HiPhi X was the best selling EV in the luxury category in China for many months (or even a year) in either 2021 or 2022.
I'm pretty sure I heard that right. Could you please confirm for me? Thanks
Yes, can confirm that the HiPhi X did top the sales charts for EVs over 500,000 RMB here in China for a quite a while.
@@Wheelsboy Thanks 👍
Its a monster!!
Is HiPhi already profitable?
This is the design also of the european and american cars of 2025.
What? No mini-microwave oven? Still an impressive car.
At this point, i am amazed that they still haven't put a toilet and a shower in them yet 😂😂
The backdoors are dumb and the design likely compromises the structural rigidity during a rollover. Speaking of that you never talk about safety or crash ratings, what's up with that?
10:34 WHAT TRICKERY IS THIS, HOW IS IT SO SILENT INSIDE? I got an iX3 that's fairly quiet but it feels like this is ridiculously silent!
The mic doesn’t pick up road noise, and we clean up the audio in post to make it a better experience for the viewer.
@@Wheelsboy your explanation made this look a bit misleading in that case. I understand its to improve viewer experience but personally, I'd prefer to get a "feel" for the car and its soundproofing.
It's pretty difficult to pick up subtle sounds like wind noise with a lav mic like we use, which is designed to exclude those sounds. To capture it, you'd need a specific type of mic, but then you'd end up with much worse audio overall and a poorer viewing experience.
我来了😁
Hi, will there be a towing facility? Thank you.
No word on it having a tow bar, but I'm sure the aftermarket will take care of that pretty quickly.
I now get why us and european cars hesitate to innovate unlike china. Those things look so expensive to repair
I want! ❤
How do you review a beautiful car like this without close attention to how the rear doors opens? It’s one of its kind snd you didn’t show the quirks of the doors. You did not even show us the doors opening up, that’s the most interesting part of seeing this car and you skipped it. So annoying 🤦🏿♂️
Those read roof doors are absolutely unnecessary and it’s taking too much space on head room
I want one.
Good news, we are now working with a logistics company that can arrange the purchase and shipment of Chinese cars to other countries. If you're really interested, email us at:
info@wheelsboy.cn
Looks like a stretched mg4 at the back
give me high 5 ,pun intended
like a wise man once said: I have to have my car doors that open like this, Not like This
Tres commas!
I want a car without any screens as they will break anyway, just an analog instrument cluster. Am I weird?
The majority of buyers these days like all the screens, especially here in China. But I can certainly understand wanting something simpler.
Sensors, sensors, sensors, after 2 years dozens of them start to fail and you throw the car away
Cool
Could have made same car with normal lights/doors for lower cost/mass
Then it will sink into the sea of no frills Chinese EVs with similar price/specs without leaving much trace - and be eaten by BYD in a single gulp. They need the identity.
They really hired a English teacher in China to host this video? 😅
HiPhi is EV world DeLorean
family car need to be practical, not so fancy
If you want the ultimate family car, buy a Li Auto. This one is for people who want something that sacrifices a bit of practicality in favor of being different.
You need to rerecord your wheels boy intro; you're very high energy and then it's like the power goes down while the intro says what you do..
Hahaha you're not wrong. I recorded that intro about two years ago, and I had a bad cold at the time. But good news, we're going to have a new intro soon!
i don't understand. just make a simple car with air conditioner, but electric powered. why must add all the gimmicks...
Why you bother talk about it? This car only available in China anyway.
The Y should be going on sale in certain European markets late this year or next year.
Looks like a rip off design of the aiways u5. At least better looking tho.
Se vir pro Brasil com preço mais barato que carro a combustão vai vender muito. O BYD ta arrebentando de vendas carroas abaixo de 100 mil vende muito aqui.
this looks like mahindra concept EVs
2:50 How handy: second row doors that don't open when it rains. 🙂
7.46 A magnet can disrupt or destroy the compass in your phone... nice feature.
The upper part doesnt open when it rains...
I guess Magsafe will also destroy my compass when i directly attach magnets to the back of my phone??
2:50 how handy: second row doors that open just like any other car when it rains
7:46 not something new, many phone supports use magnets, magsafe in the first row, but in that case I partially share the perplexity with you, strong magnetic fields may damage electronics I guess
I apologize for not being more clear with my wording. The upper part of the doors will not open in the rain, but the lower part will open as normal. Also, as I stated in the video, the phone was just for demonstration purposes, HiPhi doesn’t expect very many people to attach their phone to the magnetic surface. I think they see people attaching the same type of stuff they attach to their fridge, like photos or funny magnets. Is this useful? Nah, not really, but it’s an interesting detail that I wanted to share.
Still can't get over the fact that the lidar sensor makes the car look like a London taxi. And the car is too gimmicky, given it's Chinese I wonder how long it will take before everything is locked behind a paywall and you have to pay ridiculous amounts of subscription to have those features unlocked?
Way too many electronic moving parts which means many break downs.
The rear looks like the Kia EV6, the side profile reminds me of the Citroën C5X and the front resembles the Toyota BZ4X or whatever that thing was called.
The front is not like the bz4x at all
Pardon me, I must have confused it with some other car. All these modern electric cars look the same anyways.
That's a lot of cars my man...don't try too hard
ha ha remember more LEDs are not an advantage, just more that can break
Dude its a Toyota😂😂😂😂😂
I stopped the video due to the horrible sound. Bad for your eardrums and mind.
