BEIJING, Sept. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Shanghai's Human Horizons today announced their newest addition to the world of

super electric cars. Officially unveiled at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show, the

HiPhi X blurs the line between cutting-edge technology and luxury to create a

new market segment for cars, TECHLUXE(R). Equipped with a range of world-leading

functionality, the mass-production HiPhi X electric smart super SUV four-seater

is on sale in China for RMB 800,000 and RMB 680,000 for the six-seater, with

the first 3,000 owners receiving a lifetime service guarantee.

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 design. 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 designed 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(R), and to build HiPhi X into a game-changer in the world

of smart electric cars."

In terms of specific functionality, the HiPhi X truly is a world-leader in

innovation; the vehicle features:

- World-first mass-produced secure, developer-enabled HOA electrical

architecture on a production vehicle

- World-first touch-free, door-handle-free production vehicle

- World-first production vehicle with touch-free, facial recognition entry

- World-first production vehicle equipped with ISD (Intelligent Signal Display)

- World leading safety technology in remote battery management

- World-first smart vehicle to utilize graphical programming interface

- World-first production vehicle with customizable immersive cockpit

- World-first production vehicle with AI creation capability – poetry, paintings, and music

- World-first production car with multi-functional Touch-Pad steering wheel

- World-first Level 4 Autonomous Valet Parking (AVP) system on a production vehicle

- World-first 5G-V2X technology equipped on a production vehicle

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, allowing drivers to

take their hands, foot, and eyes away from the road without concern.

Parking has also been automated with the world's first Level 4 Autonomous Valet

Parking (AVP) system built into a production vehicle. The AVP technology works

by using fixed sensory equipment of lasers, radar and communications devices to

automatically navigate supported parking garages, park the vehicle safely and

then summon the vehicle when required.

Perhaps one of the most talked-about features of the HiPhi X is the unique wing

door design or ''NT Doors''. Opening either up or out, the doors are completely

touch-free and can be unlocked by facial recognition software. Passengers have

many option of how to open their smart-doors providing more versatility and

convenience than standard, spacious SUVs.

Inside, drivers are greeted by a state-of-the-art UX display system supported

by a Microsoft-engineered AI-assistant, HiPhiGo, and a TouchPad multi-function

steering wheel. Equipped with 5G-V2X technology and featuring a world-best

in-car data transmission bandwidth, the HiPhi X continuously monitors itself

and its surroundings using more than 562 in-built sensors and adapts with

over-the-air updates. As with everything in the car, these features are

developed specifically for use in this vehicle and work together harmoniously

to create a complete experience.

Towards the end of 2020, the HiPhi X will be produced in small volumes and will

be officially released to the market in 2021. It will be a truly unique user

experience underpinned by "design defined by scenarios, vehicle defined by

software, and value defined by co-creation". The HiPhi X is built for pioneers

around the world who want to be a part of this hi-tech revolution.
