A couple months after confirming certification in Europe, Chinese automaker HiPhi has begun sales of its first two models overseas – the HiPhi X SUV and HiPhi Z GT. The automaker shared pricing of these first two models, which will soon be joined by a radical-looking third EV you can see below. 

HiPhi is the luxury EV marque that exists under Human Horizons Technology – a Chinese start-up based in Shanghai that develops autonomous driving and EV technologies. Having only been founded in 2017, Human Horizons launched the HiPhi EV brand a year later on the wings of three concept designs. 

One of those concepts became known as the HiPhi 1 SUV, which first caught our eye back in 2019 and eventually evolved into the company’s flagship production model, the HiPhi X “Super SUV.” The X was soon joined by a futuristic “Digital GT” called the HiPhi Z last summer, complete with a robotic touchscreen and automatic suicide doors. 

This past April, HiPhi shared plans to begin selling its EVs in Europe and was in the process of TÜV SÜD testing to allow for sales overseas. At the time, HiPhi shared that the X had already completed the approval and homologation process in Europe, with the Z to soon follow. 

With regulations and standards now certified, HiPhi has opened orders in two countries in Europe to begin, ahead of plans for a third model and entry into additional markets. Here’s the latest.
