On August 29th, GAC Group unveiled the GAC HiPhi X 4-seater model at the Chengdu Auto Show. Positioned as GAC’s flagship model and priced at RMB 800,000, it is more expensive than the current HiPhi X 6-seater model.
Vehicle Parameters
In terms of body size, the HiPhi X 4-seater model is no different from the standard version, with a length of 5.2 meters, width of 2 meters, and wheelbase of 3.15 meters. In terms of power and range, the HiPhi X showcased at this exhibition is equipped with front and rear 220 kW dual motors and a 97 kWh large-capacity battery. It has an acceleration of only 3.9 seconds per 100 kilometers and an NEDC range of 550 kilometers, which is the same as the other versions.
Exterior and Interior Configurations
The HiPhi X 4-seater model has an exclusive “Titanium Grey” color, which is the world’s first time that matte clear coat has been used on a mass-produced vehicle. As it is a 4-seater version converted from the 6-seater version, the sense of luxury and the administrative feeling of the rear seats are definitely improved. The space utilization is also optimized, and the semi-aniline leather-covered rear executive seats can be adjusted for backrest, leg rest, and footrest postures at will. They are equipped with ventilation, heating, and massage functions. Even the rear seats have a car refrigerator and champagne rack that only “real” luxury cars have. The luxury atmosphere is really set off to the maximum! At the same time, there are 2 Type-C charging ports, pop-up cup holders, phone slots, and other features in the central armrest of the rear seats. In terms of technology, the rear seats of the vehicle are equipped with an 8-inch HD touch screen for adjusting and controlling seats, ambient lights, second-row air conditioning, and car refrigerators.
New Car Rights
GAC Group provides the following rights to the first owners of the HiPhi X four models (before December 31):
- Lifetime free vehicle warranty
- Lifetime free three-electric warranty
- Lifetime free road rescue
- Lifetime free 5G network car networking traffic (10GB per month)
- 4-day worry-free car purchase guarantee
Conclusion
Ding Lei, founder of Human Horizons, says that “Human Horizons is committed to collaborating with our customers to create a Chinese luxury brand. The mass production and delivery of the 4-seater version of the HiPhi X marks the first official appearance of a Chinese brand in the luxury segment priced at over 800,000 yuan, breaking the monopoly of foreign luxury brands for half a century. Its technological luxury has redefined the Chinese luxury EV ceiling.” In any case, Human Horizons has already sold cars at the level of 800,000 yuan. To gain market recognition, on one hand, it needs to create a sense of luxury through configuration and material stacking, and on the other hand, it needs to have brand recognition. Facing the gap in the luxury EV market, will the newly launched 4-seater version become a leader in the market? We look forward to the sales situation of HiPhi X in the future.
