The first model of HiPhi X not only occupies a big advantage in the 500,000-plus pure electric market but also has repeatedly decapitated Porsche Taycan in terms of sales. Now, with the intensified competition in the high-end electric market, in order to maintain the brand's advantage, Human Horizons has brought its second product HiPhi Z. This car has recently opened for pre-order, with a pre-sale price range of 600,000-800,000 RMB.
Although it has the title of "domestic car price ceiling", the pre-order of HiPhi Z has not attracted much attention from the market, which has a lot to do with its brand influence and high price. It was intended to brush up a wave of presence in the niche market of high-end users, but I guess I never dreamed that I would suddenly be on the top of the hot search and successfully out of the circle. But this time, it is not good news for HiPhi and HiPhi Z.
The afterglow of the HiFi Z booking has not yet dissipated, and a lawyer's letter for a collective lawsuit by HiPhi owners has been released online. 50 HiFi X owners have entrusted a lawsuit against HiPhi Auto for false advertising, which constitutes consumer fraud, and demanded that HiPhi be handled in accordance with the law "refund one to compensate three. The official price of the HiPHI X is 570,000 to 800,000 yuan, and the amount of compensation for the 50 owners is almost tens of millions of dollars, which is not a small amount for the lack of blood generation capacity of HiPHI.
First of all, let's see why the fans of these once-high cars suddenly flip-flopped.
First of all, the audio is not on the right board, high Hop HiPhi X car at the beginning of the publicity that the audio is "Meridian British brand audio", but the actual disassembly was found to be domestic audio, both in terms of price or sound has a huge gap. Secondly, the interior material is also different from the propaganda, in the propaganda advertising and order information, are clearly mentioned that the vehicle is a "semi-aniline interior", but the vehicle to the hands of consumers only part of the seat is semi-aniline leather, like door panels, central control, and other places are used artificial leather.
In addition, the battery capacity is advertised as 97kWh, but in reality, it is only 94.3kWh. other aspects such as the moving headlights assisted driving system and other vehicle configurations also have and publicity does not match the situation.
In order to avoid creating a bigger public opinion, Human Horizons Auto promptly issued a statement in response to this matter.
The response said that the relevant legal documents have not been received yet, at the same time, Human Horizons said that it has also communicated with the relevant users through various channels. For the audio "not the right thing", Gao believes that this is because some users have a misunderstanding of the product.
In fact, this response is a bit suspicious of dumping the pot to the user, while the configuration of that too obscure explanation, also attracted a lot of fans' flirtation: "are the price of the car, but also play 8848?" This time, if the high he can not handle, big brother HiPhi X "collapse the room The "collapse of the house", will certainly also affect the future of the second brother HiPhi Z. Unless the latter can have the skills and charm to make people ice the past. But the question is, does HiPhi Z really have the strength?
The sci-fi modeling that was once highly visible, under the constant impact of various new cars, no longer looks so stunning. The design elements of the mecha wind have also been shown first by the Great Wall Motor Mecha Dragon. Although the vehicle adopts a GT body architecture, it is easy to associate the two vehicles with being from the same platform because the wheelbase is 3150mm as HiPhi X.
For High Hopes, the face of the vehicle is only a plus, and some fun design elements are the core selling point of HiPhi Z, such as the Hiphi X's impressive six-door design. This time HiPhi Z gave up on seeking presence in the doors and adopted a more conventional pair of doors design. The interior's minimalist style fails to make a splash. The design of replacing the dashboard with the HUD is not too avant-garde either.
What is more unique should be the large center control screen, which can achieve a 90-degree flip as well as a multi-angle hover function. The fancy value is full, but it lacks practicality, even if this big screen can 360 degrees Thomas gyration, if there is no breakthrough in intelligence and convenience, in my opinion, it is still not very useful.
In terms of assisted driving, it is also the way to achieve L2 level function by stacking materials, and the official said that the subsequent can be upgraded to a higher level through OTA. The power range is basically mainstream, with 440kW of combined power and 820N-m of combined torque for the front and rear dual motors. 120kWh battery pack with a range of 705km under CLTC conditions.
Hiphi Z's product performance gives people a feeling of "Gao Lang is exhausted", although it has a unique design to support the stage, the performance in terms of fun and intelligence is still stuck in the HiPhi X stage. In the case of the product, power is a little unsatisfactory, HiPhi X and the configuration of the "goods are not the right board" of the rights of the incident so that people's trust value of the high cooperation car dropped to the freezing point. Under such circumstances, it is obvious that the reservation of HiPhi Z will be even more embarrassing.
