On February 13, 2023, the third vehicle of Gaohe, HiPhi Y, was officially listed in the MIIT.

The dimensions of the vehicle are 4,938 mm in length, 1,958 mm in width, and 1,658 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,950 mm and a curb weight of 2,305 kg.

It is currently speculated to be a rear-wheel drive with a single motor, with a peak power of 247 kW. The front suspension is a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a five-link independent suspension.

It is expected that the single-motor version of the car will be divided into a standard version and a long-endurance version. The standard version will be equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries from CATL, while the long-endurance version will use ternary lithium batteries from Contemporary Amperex Technology.

The tire sizes are 245/50 R20, 245/45 R21, and 275/40 R21.

From an exterior perspective, HiPhi Y is expected to retain its iconic scissor doors, while removing the interactive taillight design.

Another thing to note is that the front windshield of the new car has hardware configuration for a LiDAR, which will support more advanced assisted driving.

With the removal of the taillights and increase in vehicle height, as well as the option for LiDAR, how much do you think this model should be priced to achieve good sales in the market?
