SHANGHAI, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Designed and manufactured by industry-leading new mobility and

autonomous-driving research company, Human Horizons, the HiPhi X Super SUV has

been recognized by the prestigious International Design Awards (IDA) and

awarded a gold prize for design. This marks the first time an electric vehicle

has been presented with this award and stands as validation of the company's

focus on quality design.

"On the basis of practical innovation, IDA focuses on thinking and cultural

heritage, promotes unconventional and conceptual ideas. The organization aims

to solve life's problems through innovative design vocabulary, and endows

future life with a new look. This is in sync with Human Horizons approach to

aesthetic design, direct access to users and genuine products," said James

Shyr, Founding Partner of Human Horizons and HiPhi Global Design Steering

Committee.

Founded in 2007, the International Design Awards are one of the most acclaimed

design awards in the United States. Every year, thousands of products are

reviewed by a team of judges and scored against a number of criteria including

innovation, aesthetics, usability, utility, impact, and more. IDA also

advocates sustainable design and seeks to be an authority in the use of design

as a means of solving tangible problems that positively impact the environment.

Sorted into five disciplines of architectural, interior, graphic, fashion, and

product design, gold, silver, and bronze awards are given to outstanding

entries.

Nicolas Huet, Vice President of HiPhi Design, noted, "the IDA is praising the

work from different faculties coming from all over the world. It is extremely

inspiring to witness how much creativity is collected in fields such as

architecture, fashion, graphic, product... design. It is an honor and a real

satisfaction to belong to highest rank of the awardees."

HiPhi X is the world's first production vehicle to adopt Human Horizons'

mass-produced, secure, developer-enabled Human Service-Oriented Architecture

(H-SOA) 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.

In addition, H-SOA'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.

Visually impressive with its sleek H-SOA supercharged body and unique wing

doors, the HiPhi X is carefully designed inside and out. Through principles of

'design defined by scenarios' the vehicle blurs the line between a hi-tech

new-age electric car and a premium luxury vehicle. The result is a new category

of vehicle, TECHLUXE(R). In addition to its stunning design, the interior is

fitted with sustainable vegan leather and recycled materials which lower the

environmental impact of each vehicle.

In terms of performance, the HiPhi X is equipped with dual 220 kW motors at the

front and rear, as well as a large-capacity 97 kW hour battery. It can

accelerate from 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds, with a cruising range of 550km, and

has a turning circle similar to that of a much smaller car. Bringing together

cutting-edge technology, luxury design, and sustainably sourced products, the

HiPhi X is gearing up for a breakthrough year in 2021.
