Best EV Car – New Electric Car Reviews

I reviewed a £100k Chinese Rolls-Royce!

Mat's got his hands on a X!

It's an elegant all-electric SUV that has the similarity the Tesla Model X in its sights! The concern is, can this brand new SUV compete with the class leaders?

Starting with the design, it's one super imposing automobile, determining over 5m in length! Around the back, it includes a full-length light bar, and both the front and back come with big LED lights that can be utilized to display patterns and graphics! The design we have here remains in a good matt paint and rolling on 22-inch alloys. There's also a diffuser around the back which is 100% for show. aren't door handles on the side of the vehicle – rather you have a selection of buttons to open and close the doors!

Take a step inside and you'll find a super premium style. There are soft-touch products throughout the cabin, in addition to three screens upfront – a big landscape chauffeur display, a big infotainment screen, and even a screen on the dash for the front traveler! Practically all functions are managed through the and truck's infotainment screen, and it's an actually crisp, sharp screen. Hop into the back seats and you'll discover two lounge seats with a large main armrest. The seats feature loads of changes, and you'll even find a set of tables and a refrigerator stored in the main armrest!

The HiPhi X includes a 97kWh battery which benefits a range of approximately 404 miles. It also comes with dual electrical motors that can produce 598hp! It likewise has a declared 0-60mph speed of 3.9 seconds, however you'll have to join Mat to see if he can hit those numbers!

The HiPhi X rolls up with a cost of around ₤ 95,000. So it's definitely not inexpensive, but then again, it is absolutely packed filled with tech! However is it worth it? You'll require to stick with Mat and see what he believes!

    The back doors are hilarious. I hate Teslas but I can’t deny the doors on the Model X are clever, while they take up a lot of height they don’t extend as far out from the car as a conventional door when opening.
    It’s like they’ve looked at that and thought, how can we do a similar thing but remove any of the benefits.
    So they’ve ended up with a top part that takes up loads of additional height when open, and a bottom part that takes up all of the width of a conventional car door when open.
    Genius…

      Also imagine getting in or out while it’s raining. Tesla’s doors still provide cover fo the cabin, but these ones just create a wide open gap for the rain to flood the passengers and the cabin.

      I find the model x falcon doors to be utterly pointless but I won’t get into that. I think these doors do have one benefit over traditional doors and one over falcon doors. More headroom than normal doors given that there is enough room above the car and if there isn’t they can still open without the top part opening so better than falcon doors in that regard as well

      Ok, I will get into why the model x falcon doors are utterly pointless because I can’t keep my mouth shut. Tesla advertises that they can open in very tight spaces but there is no point in parking in a very tight space if your front doors can’t open because they are still “normal” doors and thus need the space anyway. And where will people normally sit in a car? In the front obviously. So the only reason to have this kind of doors on a car is that they “look cool” and then you still have to ignore all the downsides. Sorry

      Looks very nice but I hate how everything is controlled by that big slab tablet like screen.
      Should have kept a few physical buttons , physical buttons of essential functions are much more intuitive and easier to use while driving !!!

      Because it’s just a Chinese rip off and what you said confirms that simple fact. At least the front bumper looks somewhat cohesive. 😀

    Seems to be an interesting car but a bit high priced for it is not yet an established luxury brand. Also I wished we’d learn more about how the manufacturer would like to ensure the cars can be serviced and repaired when we have to assume that these Chinese makers do not yet have a fully present dealership network in Europe. In fact, I’d rather see mobile teams that would come and visit the customer at his place doing the maintenance and repair work. I’d wish to get that sort of information especially when it’s a new brand and I think we’re going to see many of these in the future.

    Hey Matt, the right rear seat is actually called a “boss” seat. When you wanna go to recline mode the front seat suppose to go all the way forward to create that space for you. (Obviously means no passenger in the front seat then). So it’ll only be working on the right rear seat (in this left wheel car)

      Normally this kind of function is only available on the right-rear seat, and it’s interesting they’ve added it to the left-rear as well.
      Probably so the driver can have a rest at the back when the car is in park?

    Was able to sample this car in China through Didi Luxe (sort of a Chinese equivalent of Uber Black). First of all, the top part of the back door doesn’t have to be open, you have the option to only open the normal part of the door. Also, the front passenger seat is supposed to be all the way forward to give the back seat ample room to recline. I’m 178cm and it’s plenty of space. But the car doesn’t feel quite as luxurious when it’s on the go despite good interior materials.

    It’s great to have Mat review these new cars from China. So many new manufacturers have popped up in China in the last couple of years and they have been experimenting with a lot of interesting things. They might still have problems, but the sooner they enter the global market, the earlier consumers will benefit from the diversity and competition. Kudos to Mat’s team and to the HiPHY team! Hopefully we can see a mass production car review soon when the bugs are fixed, and the UX system updated to be more intuitive for European users.

    On the recline setup of the rear driver’s side seat–my guess is it is designed for situations when the car is stationary (camping, waiting, or just a chat) and more than 1 person in the car want to stretch their legs, not for when the car is moving and someone’s in the driver’s seat. In China parents often need to wait a good while in the car to pick up their kids from school or tutoring so it is considered a plus. Some other comments suggest that this might be an engineering build for the right-hand side drive model–perhaps the HiPHY team could clarify:).

    Put the tables behind the front seats, move the cooler to where the tables are now, make the seats moveable back and forth so you have more legroom or trunk room when needed. That would make it basically perfect. There you go, free tips mfs!
