Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Human Horizons, a Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) startup, announced via its WeChat account that the first batch of the mass-produced HiPhi Zs rolled off the production line at the factory in Yancheng city, Jiangsu province on Dec. 20.

The HiPhi Z is powered by a 120kWh battery pack, which enables a CLTC-rated range of up to 705km. It is able to zip from 0-100km/h within 3.8 seconds, partly thanks to an intelligent four-wheel-drive system, and two electric motors at the front and rear axles with a combined output of 494kW.

Besides, the HiPhi Z's entire lineup comes standard with an ±6.6° all-speed active rear-wheel steering system, an air suspension system, and other facilities commonly seen on high-end vehicles.
