WIRED Great handling, entertaining to drive. Fast. Quality build (mostly). Tech-laden design. TIRED No 800-volt charging architecture. Some issues with materials. Not as big inside as it seems from the outside.
In Eco and Comfort at below about 70 mph, the Z only uses the rear motor, whereas in Sport the front motor is continuously engaged. Braking regeneration ranges from Low to High. The lowest is near imperceptible whereas, oddly, High is still not very strong and brings the car to a coast rather than a halt.
The unsightly taxi-like lozenge on the roof at the top of the windscreen is a giveaway that the Z has Lidar built in, and it is supposedly Level 3 autonomous ready when that tech can be switched on. Currently the Lidar is used to help the car build up a picture of what is around the car, which is then displayed on the Bot. Aside from the this, the usual driver assistance systems are all present.
Range on the standard 22-inch low-rolling-resistance wheels is, according to HiPhi, 438 miles. This based on the. Real-world ranges are more likely to be in the region of 350 miles. We got 24.5 kWh/100 km on a drive on freeways and country roads that was just shy of 70 km, which converts to 2.5 mi/kWh.
But the power economy is not the issue here—the charging is. Fast charging on the Z from 0 to 80 percent takes 55 minutes. Disappointingly for such an expensive tech-laden car, there is no 800-volt architecture for super-fast charging. Main rival Porsche's Taycan has 800-volt; in fact so does Hyundai and Kia. This feels like a crucial misstep for a brand wanting to be seen as premium and luxury.Yes, you have to be impressed with how quickly HiPhi has got up and running.
But maybe that doesn't matter? With the Z and X you get the distinct impression this is just the warm-up act. The real work begins when the more affordable, but still quality, HiPhi Y lands. Having come so far so quickly, it's hard to not see HiPhi again punching well above its weight.
