HiPhi Y

In April 2023, the offer of the Chinese brand of technologically advanced HiPhi electric cars was expanded to include a third vehicle, with its world premiere at the 2023 Auto Shanghai.[3] The Y took the form of a large crossover placed in the range below the flagship "X", sharing a common floor and technical solutions with it and another "Z" model.[4] In terms of style, the car retained the design typical of the Chinese company, combining an irregularly shaped window line with a gently sloping roofline, massive wheel arches and an extensive lighting system.[5] The headlights, in addition to the main LED strip running across the entire width of the body, have been enriched with large, triangular light surfaces that can display various animated pictograms.[6] The rear lamps were formed by a light strip with two-part tips, and under the window line there was an interactive display presenting moving graphic symbols - like headlights.[7]

Similar to the larger X, the Y is equipped with an extensive rear door system consisting of additional roof sections that open upwards to facilitate access to the second row of seats.[8] Available trim levels are Flagship, Long Range, Elite, and Pioneer.

The start of sales of the Y on the domestic Chinese market began in July 2023. It was also included in expansion plans on Western European markets.[14] The main sales markets include: Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Norway, and the United Kingdom in 2024.[15][16]

The rear-wheel drive version develops a power of 331 HP, while the two-engine version delivers power to both axles at 498 HP.[17] The larger battery has a capacity of 76.6 kWh, while the top one has a capacity of 115 kWh. The range of "Y", depending on the configuration, is approximately 560, 765 or 810 kilometers on one charge according to the Chinese CLTC measurement procedure.[18]
