BEIJING: Human Horizons, a leading Chinese smart mobility and autonomous driving research company, has officially launched its highly anticipated HiPhi X, the world’s first continuously evolving super SUV.
The six-seater version is priced at approx. US104,000, and the four-seater version is priced at approx.US$ 122,000.
HiPhi X has defined a new breed of next-generation intelligent all-electric vehicles and opens up boundless possibilities for transportation in the future with Human Horizons’ innovative “TECHLUXE®”, a luxury technology experience.
The innovative evolvable super SUV is positioned as a groundbreaking product that redefines the era of smart electric cars, and features world-first technologies.
HiPhi X is the world’s first production vehicle to adopt Human Horizons’ mass-produced, secure, developer-enabled Human Oriented Architecture (HOA) and the first worldwide to be equipped with a 5G-V2X technology network. More than 562 sensors are deployed throughout the vehicle, all of which collect, analyze and respond to massive amounts of data on its occupants, the surrounding environment, and a multitude of vehicle parameters.
The SUV also contains 307 electronically controlled actuators that, when used with Human Horizons’ custom-developed middleware, enables a truly connected, smart vehicle experience.
HOA is supported by a “neural network” consisting of six “super brain” domain controllers connected by Gigabit Ethernet.
This groundbreaking AI computing framework is capable of processing massive amounts of information, making independent decisions through cloud computing driven by a powerful data analysis engine.
The HiPhi X is continuously learning and evolving the vehicle’s performance and experience.In addition, HOA’s open-source software platform and comprehensive development tools empower partners, third-party developers and users to create new
dynamic features and scenarios — providing users with a robust, ever-growing application ecosystem.
HiPhi X combines supercar aesthetics and SUV elements to create an electric super SUV with a sleek, futuristic exterior. The vehicle’s aerodynamic design has a low drag coefficient of 0.27, aero optimized 22-inch wheels, a short front overhang and a flat underfloor for smoother air flow.
The aesthetic form has been designed to reduce wind noise and enhance handling stability. The 3150mm wheelbase also maximizes the cabin space to deliver unparalleled comfort for all occupants. The premium SUV is also the world’s only production vehicle equipped with a programmable and customizable matrix lighting system consisting of dual-core lighting modules.
There are two key elements to this advanced lighting system, the Programmable Matrix Lighting (PML) and Intelligent Signal Display (ISD) modules.
These technologies are designed for real-world applications and enable the vehicle to detect road environments and autonomously adjust to each scenario accordingly.
HiPhi X is also the world’s first touch-free, handle-free luxury SUV and the first to integrate facial recognition for hands-free entry. Breaking away from traditional luxury coach doors, HiPhi X’s “NT doors” offer six elegant modes of ingress and egress for an unparalleled sense of occasion.
All doors can be opened and closed independently and are electrically actuated. The angle is intelligently determined based on space for hazard-free entry and exit. HiPhi X can be locked and unlocked using multiple secure methods, including facial recognition, smart key, smartphone ID, or remotely through the HiPhi app.
In the space capsule-like cabin, HiPhi X incorporates a customizable cockpit. The interactive design features a 14.6-inch full LCD instrument cluster, central touchscreen, 19.9-inch co-pilot screen, a rearview mirror capable of media streaming, a high-definition color HUD, capacitive door touch panel and Touch-Pad steering wheel controls.
