But that's still an abysmal design though... (Granted, I am happy you shared that at least it can do it). But still. Literally having to go into an infotainment menu to adjust the direction of the air vents is one of the worst ideas (relative to the subject at hand) I've ever heard of. If not being able to adjust them at all is the baseline at 0/10, then having to use a menu system is maybe at best a 1.5/10; if the needed menu is within 1 or 2 button presses.

I saw one of this in a car wash in China couple months ago, it's really a eye catcher and looks more futuristic in real life.

Although I'm not personally a big fan of the design, it's hard to argue with the social proof of the design. If people are guessing that it's worth over 2x the actual price and whenever you drive it, you get swarmed by people, it's a pretty decent value proposition off of design alone. Even hypercars don't get that much attention. That being said, the glitches suck pretty hard, but the specs seem decent. Hopefully, they get it all sorted by the release date in 2025.

But if you show her the first gen Tesla model S, she would consider it out dated despite the fact that the Testrossa came way way before the first model S. Tech evolves fast, if you put them in cars then it would soon be old without the culture even forming.

Omg I never thought Chinese could make a car this good. They seemed to have nailed everything Design, Technology, Drive, Handling. Only thing to concern about it is the reliability. Other traditional auto manufacturers would really have to up the game to stay competitive.

According to a Toyota Times interview with the Japanese company’s newly established BEV Factory’s president, Takero Kato, he was shocked during a business trip to China. “For the first time, I came face to face with the competitiveness of Chinese components,” Kato said. “In China, they were not simply learning and applying technologies, but also rapidly transforming manufacturing.” “Laying eyes on equipment that I had never seen in Japan and their state-of-the-art manufacturing, I was struck by a sense of crisis - ’We’re in trouble!’ At the same time, I began to think that I would like to spend the rest of my career in China,” he added.

I somewhat bash it because there are loads of new companies, like this, like Jetour, like BYD, and others, all popping out cars like crazy. Which, is very interesting, especially how much of a competition they are becoming to Tesla. - But I haven't seen the long term of these cars or the brand, And enough Chinese car companies are also going bankrupt at similar rates. - lets not forget that this hiphi is a company that started making cars in late 2020, early 2021.. you're essentially buying from a "start up" without the pedigree or proven reliability/support. And I'd like to know that when I purchase a car, I can have support for the next 8-10 years. But purchasing a lesser known Chinese brand in Europe comes with it's own challenges as they are still quite exclusive. Like dealers, maintenance, support. It's similar to buying a Ford F150 Raptor in Europe.. you'd struggle to find support, maintenance, tyres, etc. because it is such an uncommon car. And, besides that, I've been in a few Chinese brands, and they do often feel quite cheap compared to European brands. Materials, button feel, operating system etc.

Those Chinese are getting supper cool. One of my favorites is the BYD Han.

@@robblly8112 Agreed, maybe something like an emergency mechanical key like a valet key can be used by popping off a plastic cover somewhere to gain access with no power. The other concern was with the doors flying open, and not having much of an object detection system for collisions (take from the video the baby in the pushchair) - also what about when parked? Do the doors extend fully potentially colliding into other cars and objects if the parked gap is too close? Not sure.

@@Addouk yeah... choosing the degree to which your door opens is mildly useful, but only if you know exactly how far to open your door. some sort of object detection would bee needed in that scenario to not cause a headache.

headlights with messages. roadrage will never be the same!

Even a Lamborghini & Ferrari Owner will feel ignored in front of that! 😂😂😂

that car is gorgeous, that will turn way more heads than any lamborghini or ferrari ever could

You can fix the taxi light bit by putting a roof scoop around it! Doesn't matter if it's fake, it will transform the look completely!!! :)

Love the styling!

I love when Mat says the name of the car then says "Its a little bit like (description)" its a nice touch

Great to see different designs, even if it looks like it was stolen from a movie set...👍

Looks amazing. Peaople do not want dull cars anymore.

Hi, Mat! I'm a big fan of yours, I watch all your videos and subscribed to you (or carwow, I don't know how). I liked your videos about a year ago, never missed one, and now I don't miss a single one. But I never wrote comments (I don't know why), but now I decided to write, so to speak, "one big one", I just want you to see my comment. But know that everything I have already written above is pure truth! P.S. I am writing through a translator Well, good luck to you and your whole team! :) 😄😃😁😅😉🙂

That "on/off" feature for the rear-wheels steering is a long overdue feature. Hope the rest of the manufacturers take notes

Because it's expensive, funny how you get better quality when you pay alot.

Old Top Gear called it, soon we shall be driving Chinese cars. It is crazy how far they have come in such a short amount of time.

Battery packs really need to be in an I beam configuration, with high centre console/transmission tunnel style beam through the middle of the car, enabling the seats to be lower and/or better leg room. The skateboard design is responsible for all EVs being identical SUV lumps, and anyone trying to make a lower car ends up with compromised space

Looks like something out of 2077, I love it!!

It's great, really refresing design

other than the taxi sign jittery low quality electrics like the key not charging/working its not bad thanks for the content👍🏻

the looks nailed the definition of exaggeration. so on point!

Those piston arm things on the back of the infotainment screen look SO COOL!!! Thats my favourite design decision for the interior! The seats look just like Tesla seats.

yeah, NO. Tesla seats are a piece of boiled shit.

The electric door opening feature which controls the door’s range of motion is not unnecessary at all. Specifically in cities where you often park close to other vehicles. Unless the door has sensors that automatically detect the distance from other vehicles or walls.

I thought th door thing was stupid until I realized you can open doors for people so you don't need to exit your car. Then again OTOH I can see Americans hating that because a big part of dudebro car culture is opening your door for your lady and seating her before going back to your drivers seat. Oh well.

Mat I love that Chinese car it's got everything great review if I had the I definitely buy one I liked the look of the car 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Just get the HiPhi X then. Equally crazy looking. More boot space because it is more like Tesla Model X sized. And also have these crazy two piece separate opening rear doors. Less performance than the Z though.

I loved how friendly British people are on the streets 😂♥️. Long live Britain 🇬🇧.

I would buy this in a heartbeat if i could

I think those people blaming the Chinese companies will eventually get used to things like this. It’s nice, but little too expensive
