In terms of appearance, the new model carries strong family design genes, featuring a mech-inspired design style, a closed grille, and highly recognizable lighting units that embody the distinctive characteristics of the HiPhi brand.

Compared to the HiPhi X, the front face of the HiPhi Y has sharper lines and a more robust appearance. The styling of the headlights on both sides is closer to the sporty style of the HiPhi Z.

The side profile of the vehicle is solid and full, especially the window part, which incorporates elements from the HiPhi Z. With its sleek lines, smoked A/B/C pillars, and slightly sloping roof design, it creates a highly dynamic floating roof effect.

The HiPhi Y measures 4,938mm in length, 1,958mm in width, 1,658mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,950mm.

The HiPhi Y’s entire series is equipped with the second-generation NT intelligent butterfly doors as standard, bringing a sense of ceremony with its cool stance, while providing a luxurious, elegant, and practical intelligent entry and exit experience. The six electric doors use a new generation of screw motor, along with rain sensors and 24 obstacle sensors, enabling intelligent touchless entry and exit, precise obstacle detection, and avoiding the need to open the butterfly doors on rainy days.

The rear design adopts a minimalist style commonly seen in pure electric SUVs. With a few bold lines, the rear end gains a sense of layering. The rear window is cleaned by high-speed airflow, eliminating the need for a rear window wiper and maintaining a clean and sleek appearance.
