HiPhi X, the World’s only Self-Learning SUV, Launched with a Host of World-first features

In producing a mass-market vehicle with all the cutting-edge technologies usually reserved for R&D labs, the team at Human Horizons has faced a number of great challenges. Aside from simply putting pieces together, they have also focused on safety measures, user experience, and visual aesthetics. Led by the three guiding principles of ‘design defined by scenarios, vehicle defined by software, and value defined by co-creation’, the HiPhi X is a combination of sophisticated software, intelligent hardware, and elegant de-sign. Built to be used together, this relationship is comparable to how smartphones replaced the previous generations of mobile phones.

Founder of Human Horizons and HiPhi, Ding Lei stated:

Faced with great changes in the automotive industry driven by new technologies such as the Internet, renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and 5G communications, we at Human Horizons have built HiPhi. By acting in accordance with our three guiding principles, we hope to explore the future of transportation along with our dedicated customers. HiPhi is de-signed for pioneers, people who seek the freedom to create and explore new things. People who have a core belief to want more and who will continuously strive to achieve more by pushing the limits of human capability. With these people in mind, we have already surpassed the traditional car manufacturing mind-set and have anchored our thinking on three new dimensions to design the vehicles of tomorrow: HUA (‘H’ Performance Intelligence, ‘U’ V2X Collaboration and ‘A’ Connectivity and Sharing). We are committed to combining the experience of a luxury brand with new technologies under the term TECHLUXE®, and to build HiPhi X into a game-changer in the world of smart electric cars.”

The HiPhi X rejects the notion of having to choose between either performance or comfort by providing both. A super-long wheelbase minimizes the space occupied by the powertrain and maximizes the amount of space for occupants. The result is a large vehicle with dimensions of 5.2m / 2.62m / 1.618m but with an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.27Cd. The car also features two 220 kW motors positioned on the front and rear axle, allowing it to accelerate from 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds. The large-capacity 97 kW hour battery, CrossLoop energy management, and cloud battery management system combine to achieve the perfect balance of energy, battery life, safety, and comfort.

Despite its size, the SUV is extremely nimble as the rear-wheel steering allows for a 10° swing in either direction. This means the 5.2m long HiPhi X has a turning radius of 11.6 m, comparable to that of a small car. Also, with a range of 550km (Founders Edition) or 630km (Extended Range), it can meet the needs of any driving condition; from use in urban areas, rural inter-city travel, high-speeds, or low-temperatures, this supercar can handle it all.

Away from hardware, the HiPhi X boasts some of the world’s most sophisticated in-vehicle software functionality. Starting with the HiPhi Pilot, this in-built system allows passengers to experience Level 3 autonomous driving and is the first production model to be equipped with this technology in China. The HiPhi Pilot can take control of six important driving systems in the vehicle: perception of surroundings, information monitoring, braking, power, steering, and distance calculation. The system is safe and reliable, al-lowing drivers to take their hands, foot, and eyes away from the road without concern.
