When we first saw the HiPhi X at the Beijing Auto Show last year, we had strong doubts about how it would work in the real world. Well, turns out we were right in some ways, but very wrong in others.

Hats off to Ethan for the great presentation - in the scorching heat. I tried one in the Shanghai Auto Show. It felt like a private jet and was priced accordingly. Then the other day I found one parking next to me in my own city. Holy cow - I remember telling myself - so there actually are people buying it!
Much better than Tesla
@@weizhang2834 What are you basing that on? We don't even have a comparison in terms of real world performance. It's just nationalism speaking?
@@weizhang2834 so much better 💯👍
@@hankkingsley9183 Teslas are bland and boring looking OVERPRICED American junk.
@@hankkingsley9183 cope! Go China! 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
Love these Chinese EVs and what these Chinese companies are doing, they're at the forefront of technological innovation, this is China's time.
The fact that this unknown brand did a FF91 clone when Faraday couldn't even release anything is already a win hahaha
Actually the founder of this car brand Ding Lei is a senior executive in FF91 founder Jia Yueting's car company before, and this guy Ding Lei is also the ex Vice President of SAIC (Shanghai Administration of Industry and Commerce).
This is not a clone but has some relationships with ff91
ff91's boss is from China also
Ff91 workers were born on earth too, so there's a strong link
@@DanielHoo10 Actually he was VP to SAIC (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation), the car building group that owns MG, Roewe etc., not to the other SAIC (Shanghai Administration...) which is a government body. It's true though, that he used to work as the head of local governments. Job switching between government office and state-owned enterprises like SAIC are not uncommon for people his level, since both are still government jobs that subject to internal transfers. That's until he quit public service and entered private sector in 2015.
Why aren't more car reviewers talking about this vehicle? This certainly makes the current Tesla Model X look simple and pedestrian even.
Facts 💯
Because its Chinese production 😅. They don't want some Chinese company become competitor
@@atifrana5470 It won't go to USA, and in China destroyed Model X in sales.
@@morganangel340 might be some time before we see US start having vehicles like this. One issue I see with this car though is it seems to open the back doors, the window has to roll down and the top has to open for you to get in, I can't imagine that being good if you live in rainy areas like Seattle unless I'm mistaken that you can open the door without the roof being lifted.
@@gasoline3597 you can open separately each door, so if you want, you only open the side dor, and it will be like a ''normal'' car.
Its too bad that it never gonna come to the USA but its one of the most advanced and practical vehicle I've seen in a while!
Too bad the United Sanctions of AmeriKKKa will cry national security bullshit.
It doesn't fit in a parking space, what's practical about this?
@@ctr289 SERIOUSLY, like anyone knows how to park properly, I'm talking about the tech features and aesthetics. The body can always be resized to U. S. standards.
@@benyo4652 Well, the car has already been released, so the body will remain the same and it doesn't fit in a parking space anywhere, not only in the US
@benyo4652 have you seen the pickup trucks in America? He said it was the size of Panamera.
Crazy that this is a production car , regular automotive brands could never do anything like this cause of projected graphs and whatnot lol
Chrysler used to make crazy vehicles like this back in the day. They took chances on designs and ended up with production vehicles that looked like concepts. This manufacturer seems to be similar to that. Very impressive
@@chrisdooley6468 Citroen does somewhat the same, but it's amazing that a start-up can make a car like this. Imagine if John DeLorean has access to contract carmakers like DongFeng today....
it is very nice vehicle and props to them making in quick, but there are reasons for that, i wonder how this would held up in safety and collision
exactly cause they scam us with the same old engine tech with some enhancements. we should’ve been way ahead of engine cars by now but they hold us back as a society just to milk it all
The reason why traditional carmakers being conservative not because they can't but they want to cope with the logistics for global mass production and not to mention all the features need to be carefully observed so it can pass every regional regulations. Just look at their concept cars, they're capable inventing many weird, ultra advanced features but it doesn't make sense for mass production, like that complicated dual hinged rear door system in this car, there's too many error fatality can happen if it appears on popular car model like say a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. EV start-up like this Hi-Phi brand, Nio or even Tesla can do so many over the top stuffs because their cars, despite increasing sales still niche in number compared to traditional carmakers unit sales. My 2 cents ...
One of my favorite KZhead channel because of variety cars
😮 Simply beautiful! Applause to the engineers.
This car is so cool! My boss just bought it but he has the founder edition with only four seats but with the tv and fridge at the back part 😅
This car is basically a 1st Class plane seat. I tried it at their showroom, not long enough but I tried the seats little bit and its gorgeous
This may be one of the most futuristic cars I've seen Not only because of the looks but also the functions and automation
The rear doors could let handicaped people ingress/ egress very easily. The styling reminded me of high end DS concepts. Well done beautiful automobile.
I have an FJ cruiser and those doors suck big time , if someone parks too close you can’t get the kids in the back all that easy .
This car could be used as a taxi.
@@stefanjepp6612 nah, too expensive
It looks nothing like a DS model.
@@stefanjepp6612 Geely already has advanced taxi EV in production, and I believe you may have seen them, they are the iconic British black cab, Geely bought the company who produce those cars and made EV version of them, they are being sold to London and many other Chinese cities
This car is totally out of my imagination so unique so stylish so smart ❤️
This dude sits at 45k subs and pranksters are getting million subs in no time? how is this justified? Work hard my boy. See you soon in the mile high million club
Men.. the way you pronounced the chinese words, it is on point 👌🏼
Great looking car - Probably as close to a production Faraday Future FF91 as we're going to get! PS - Love the new Wheelsboy logo. 😀
I like this quite a bit more than the FF91, and that rear door design is genuinely original.
Human Horizon (HH) < Faraday Future (FF)
@@gadgetgasspoll2923 HH>>>FF 💯👍
Very interesting automobil. When China will come to Europe ppl here gonna be very suprised. Korea allready is here with quite a success in lower to middle class cars... Good vodeo.
This is the beauty of being a young upstart brand w/o decades of "heritage" to worry about. You can go as crazy as you want and be awesome
Best SUV I have seen in my life. Wow just wow. I have not seen any car like this. China has really came a long way and is definitely taking the lead right now with EVs
@@aldrichuyliong8143 I agree ..I always thought it was a mistake to compromise a fresh design by grafting corporate front ends onto new models , who cares if your new model lineup doesn't resemble a set of Russian dolls.
@@aldrichuyliong8143 Nope, not necessarily Everyone in the industry is always quick to jump on the bandwagon of new trends wether be it a legacy or a new auto maker 😂
@@omaralkayal7598 You're right. But when they do the result is often beautiful. When they don't, it's often at their peril.
Love the design and all the creative ideas built in it. Kudos to the designers and all the minds involved
An amazing car! I'm super jealous you got this one... a great filming location and your best review yet. Cheers!
I. Love. This!!! Reminds me a bit of the defunct Mercedes R Class, but way more ambitious! The rear doors are insane! It's great to see a truly innovative design like this. It appears that they need to improve the responsiveness of some functions but it looks great and it's definitely different!
they're all just copies of the real OG. Toyota Innova
@@carlosandleon That's still just a copy of the actual real OG. Ford Model T
@@szbxa Touché
@Carlos Leon if toyota is great, why would they want to partner BYD chinese electric car with their batteries.. china wants all electric cars without gas in 2025.
This is an MVP
I really enjoyed the video which gave me the feeling that I had when I was young and started to love cars. I lost the excitement for the tech and advancements in the industry because of how slow it became, but this car is different and I really enjoyed the review. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you too bro, your words are touching
Wow! what a car, Chinese car manufacturers keep knocking the ball out of the park with these BEV's lately.
that pedestrian crosswalk projection is sheer genius!
Agreed,🍻
amazing car. can't wait till this comes to Canada.
This is an amazing looking car! Thanks for bringing these amazing videos!
Wheels boy needs 1m subs
Yeah
No doubt
Just don't ever utter the ''quirk'' word ..and I'm with you.
11:24, the roof doors make it much easier to get in and out of the 3rd row seats. Neat.
Loved it! It's a breath of fresh air! A new thing in a era of everything looking the same. This is what I want! Innovation!
This is the exact type of vehicle that Sandy Munro is talking about coming to the US sooner than later. Chinese EV competition will come fast and fierce.
The first to capture market shares in developed markets
Hollywood movies can just buy Chinese cars to use in their movies set in the future. That would be so cool.
Bruh. I think it's a little rubbish to think considering Hollywood has been bowing to the clutches of the CCP for a few years.
Man this thing is kicking Teslas Ass in my humble opinion.
good job on this one, growing channel will be huge for sure
The class of this car: cool. New segment.
Wow! This car is absolutely impressive.
This is best car and review in 2021 I have watched on KZhead
Love this from Korea 👏👏👏🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
It would be so good to take my Chinese wife on a trip in that. Just let her enjoy the luxuries and the big screen . She'd be so happy
THIS is the first truly desirable Chinese car I've seen , I can live without gullwing doors ..but this thing is original and gorgeous . I somehow suspect a rather large input from Kia .At first glance anywhere else I would have said it was a Citroen concept car.
There's a US version called FF91.
As far as we're aware, Kia had nothing to do with the development of this car. As we explained in the video, the badge on the back is only a result of the car being manufactured in a facility that produces models from the Dongfeng Yueda Kia joint venture company. It's a common practice for smaller manufacturers to piggyback on the manufacturing capacity of larger companies.
This car is no way related to the Faraday Future FF91.
I thought it it a DS
@@estmeta FF91 is a fraud
This car brings the definition of cool to the extreme. It's too fancy, but it's really cool.
It's too fancy but if I had the money I'd definitely buy this!
The problem with HUD and sunglasses is that most polarized glasses will block over 90% of the light from the hud
I just discovered your channel, and apart from the really cool cars you review and your pure talent when it comes to speaking and describing them, I must say I have subscribed instantly when I saw your bronze Seiko Turtle. Let's see what other beauties I'll find in your other videos...
The recording quality is insane, love it
Looking good, the proportion is like a station wagon for sure which will give it a lot more cargo space yet keep it more aerodynamic than SUV.
M impressed and overwhelmed by Chinese technology. It’s sad that as a neighbouring country we still are voting and choosing our government in the name of religion. Yes we have become world leader as PM Modi says but only in hatred and segregation
Need to remove modi, and replace him with someone that's not a US lapdog.
Chinese people just keeps on innovating.
Tesla model X been doing this for years... It's not new.
@@abi.hockeycop Doing what, terrible build quality? Telsas are dated pieces of crap lol.
How am I just learning of your channel? This is excellent stuff. Never been to China and didn't know cars like these even existed.
Welcome to china
If you go to shenzhen and guangzhou with almost 100% electric cars, u will be surprised.
We need to see this car at night for the full effect!
the headlights that can send messages are awesome! Wish stuff like that was legal here in California as it would really help relieve road rage haha imagine getting yelled at or honked at and ur car just does a uwu
I think it could be imported. Lights are stock afterall so it wouldn't be necessarily illegal unless it had a flashing blue.
In Boston they would rig it to show the middle finger. There's a reason they call people from Massachusetts massholes.
Lmao that’d be nice
Lots of tech in this car. I would like to believe that the infotainment layout helps to reduce or eliminate the driver getting distracted by the third screen.
This looks better than any BMW currently on offer and is probably more reliable for half the money that a BMW, Audi or Mercedes would be looking for
Love your videos and you’re reviewing this different type of cars.
Looks like a European concept car, something like Citroen would bring out.
European concept cars NEVER get beyond concept that is the China difference.
Not really, you're just biased against Chinese car companies.
Wow. Just found your channel and modern chinese cars. It seems that they are waaaay cooler than our western ones.
This car has everything. And I mean everything. I don't think there's a single car that has more than this car has. A few days ago, my friend asked me when I think electric technologies will mature and be accepted by me. This. Is it. This is the car that convinces me. My Subaru 3.6R does 550km per tank with only 180kw and 350nm so that's a perfectly acceptable range. I love it. I want one.
But a Chinese car wouldn’t give me a lot of security I mean don’t get me wrong this car it’s really cool
@@cf7792 I don't think security is of much importance anymore. Everyone has a smartphone. Everyone has social media. Everyone knows our info is sent to the CIA and any other government or private organisation who is willing to pay. But ultimately, we're not really important enough for anything to come out of this info. At most just an add from amazon telling you to buy something. Also, I feel like Chinese or Russian hackers are just a fear tool made by American media
@@123fourfive5 that is true I just wouldn’t trust Chinese engineering and quality as other countries like Germany,Japan etc etc
Don’t do it This car well break the f out of your bank account
@@cf7792 That's probably true to the old Chinese cars. But this is a changing world, people changing, factory improving. Chinese engineers are clever, but lack of experience, and they catch up in a insane speed. Today's booming market of Chinese brand car in China, has become a fact and shows how chinese consumer gradually accept and trust these brands, like Geely, BYD, neo, etc. The trend starts inside China, but won't end there. just like how people all over the world in 80s start to change their mind to Japanese products.
Looks pretty damn cool! Boy were you sweating!
Um review de alto nível, parabéns!
The Human Horizons logo is very close to the Wheelsboy logo, anyone else notice this?
Haha can't unsee it anymore
Cool video man...looking forward to seeing this car on malaysian roads in the near future..gather it must really hot day...cause your are sweatimg man
Doors look gimmicky but wow looks nice! And the light notifications- makes sense!
You deserve more subs... Best Wishes 🙏
In Shanghai and haven't seen these in person yet. Hope to see more soon, they look so cool! Hopefully one day I can call a didi and someone will pick me up in this car, super cool!
This has to be the best looking EV SUV out there. Perfect 👌
this is a terrific ride I must say. this video makes me admire it even more, I didn't know it was this beastly if not for this video. in my opinion, it can come close to the best western cars. i have a concern with the ergonomics of the front passenger seat, i feel the passenger will have to bend the neck substantially to watch a video on that gorgeous screen. and i feel the ride's ground clearance is rather too low. otherwise these less significant observations, i love and this car. well done HiPhi, well done china.
Air suspension, when driving height will adjust.
damn, this looks better than tesla
This car sold 428 in July in China. Priced at 570000~800000 RMB. Which is 87723~123120 USD. To be compared with, Model X(Import) priced at 909999~999999 RMB, which is 140000~153899 USD.
Import duties.
And the logo almost looks like your logo. :) Thanks for the video!
He's not Wheelsboy without the gaily colored belt bag. 😁 This is a car for the future, available now.
I really enjoy watching your videos. What I'm curious about is how reliable are all these new Chinese cars?
They're all electric so nothing to worry about. Same tech as phone's.
@@Darkest_matter Yes China is the leader in batteries and battery tech (for both EVs and phones).
this is 1 of the sweetest rides ive seen!!!
sounds like a dream car for me!
Cool show car, initial reaction is: i want one.. but on second thought, for beyond a 100k i think all those lags would drive me crazy after a short while.. thats why i still love my manual seats, it takes 3 sec to adjust everything to my liking.
Those aren't Suicide Doors. They're Air Brakes. LOL
I am deeply impressed with this car
It's a copy of faraday ff 91
@@Viktor007 that's like saying china copied 5G from the USA lol. How do you copy something's that's not even out yet?
@@abc-id1sq It's clearly a copy of their prototype

Saw a few of these on Shanghai streets. Very cool vehicle indeed!
3:24 "It's not very easy to get it up" You and me both, brother
Imagine that if your father drives this car to pick you up to school, you will become the focus of everyone in the school.🤣
Excellent review! Wish I could buy this in the US. Btw your Chinese is great.
Bro... Tesla model X been doing falcon doors for years.
@@abi.hockeycop Model X is trash compared to this, ugly dated design+interior and terrible build quality.
Pros on HiphiX like the flush c pillar, entry is easy, lots of creature comforts. Cons: lots of electric convenience = possible breakdown, windscreen reflections, rear seat is claustrophobic, rear door may be a good idea ie Tesla’s falcon door. The design is intriguing to say the least.
I love this review. Lusting for the car.
Great review! This car reminds me of the Citroen DS5 but a more modern version. I like the back doors although i wonder how long that will last without leaking or breaking. the screens eveywhere are cool but I also am stumped at its safety rating, (as a screen in front of the passaenger can't be good in a frontal collision). The rear seats in the front row are awesome although it seems you can control the driver seat? The LED lights out side the car is really cute to show animations to the car behind you! -more options than just a blinker! Does it self drive?
Reminds me of the ff91
@@JamaicanMeCrazy Yes! A cheaper version of the FF91 lol. The outer shape though is still more like the DS5 which is a crossover
about the screen on the passenger side, I think there are other cars that have already done it, as well as dual gloveboxes ( taking up the same space as the screen) so seems manufacturers found a way to put airbags somewhere else
Have any of you heard of Tesla model X?
Xpeng's or Nio's passenger air bag pops out from the ceiling so there's no concern there.
Impressive car! I like the design which is fantastic. The only concern is the price (from $88,000 to $120,000?), they may reduce the screens in the car to save the cost.
Another excellent review!
Saw one on the road today for the first time. Definitely a looker.
I want to buy one!!! I am in Canada!!! 😔
love it! Reminds me on the Rover sd1 (the model)
I just love it.🤩🤩
I undermined the Chinese... Kudos for the lighting
this car is obviously in the BADASS class
Actually there's 1 more driver's side door closing method, you just slam the break the door will close automatically.
Cool!
That’s correct! We had a take where Ethan mentioned that, but the audio was no good…
Another easy way to automatically close the front door is to step on the brake. Door can be opened automatically by sensing the key fob nearby (with setup option) Back doors close automatically when car start moving/driving.
This car looks really nice !!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Tesla model X?
@@abi.hockeycop This one is much better than Tesla.
@@jzvr5842 no
This design is just supercool, looks stunning in a video, must look even better in the metal. Especially from the side view it transcends any car type to me and would be the only car I´d need, being sporty, sleek and spacious at the same time. Imagine this car lowered and equipped with even more appealing aftermarket wheels ! I am a german guy, but i must say I always had a feeling that German car design is too conservative, since the german manufacturers are attached too much to their design evolution of the previous models. Now the Chinese come and do a design that is futuristic, exciting and emotional all at once ... What they mastered perfectly here is that it looks futuristic but not too futuristic at the same time. To me, compared to the recent NIO cars, they nailed the interior here as well, which makes this car pretty irresistable. Though this interior is packed with screens, it somehow manages to give you quite a cozy feeling. I would buy this one anytime over a german car, sad but true, at least with the models offered these days. Great presentation by the way !
This car make TESLA look old technologies 😎
That infotainment system looks like Baidu Carlife on turbo. Amazing. Looks like a shot across the bow of the Tesla Model X. With those doors, those features, those specs and that price. Do you think they have a chance against it if the company makes the car available for export?
I was thinking the same thing. I don't understand how you make it through a 16 minute review without comparing at least the doors to the Model X.
Looks cool ... but I'm super sad seeing cars I'll never get a chance to buy or even get near. Wish we could get some of those cars sent over to other countries. I'd take that over the model X any day.
How is it more practical than model X? It's basically a copy of model X with a different exterior...and worse doors.
@@abi.hockeycop I'm bored of Tesla. Wont' be buying one. It'll be a Hyundai or Kia for me. And relax, there are a variety of brands who make petrol cars, we need more realistic options in the EV market. The End.
@@abi.hockeycop It's way better than the dated, crappy and terribly built Model X in every way.
