The Hyper HT is an all-electric SUV that was launched in China final November because the third member of the Hyper collection after the Hyper GT and Hyper SSR. It’s a comparatively massive five-seat car, measuring in at 4,935 mm lengthy, 1,920 mm huge, 1,700 mm tall and with a wheelbase spanning 2,935 mm.
That makes it a bit smaller than the Tesla Mannequin X, and similar to that electrical car (EV), the Hyper HT is on the market with rear gullwing doorways. Inside, there’s an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen – each pushed by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155P chipset. A sensor suite (with optionally available lidar) powers ADAS features similar to autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise management and extra.
In China, the SUV is rear-wheel drive solely with totally different battery capacities and ranges. The smallest battery accessible is a 70-kWh unit that’s paired with a rear-mounted electrical motor rated at 245 PS (241 hp or 180 kW) and 355 Nm of torque for 550 km of vary following the CLTC customary. Subsequent on the record is a 72.7-kWh battery with the identical 180-kW motor for 600 km of vary.
The third possibility is an 80-kWh battery, which is paired solely to an electrical motor with 340 PS (335 hp or 250 kW) and 430 Nm – this setup has a variety of 670 km. The ultimate possibility supplies probably the most vary at 770 km and pairs the 250-kW motor with a good bigger 93-kWh battery. The 0-100 km/h occasions are both 5.8 seconds (670 km vary), 6.2 seconds (770 km) or 6.8 seconds (550 and 660 km variants).
We must always level out the variations of the Hyper HT with the 180-kW motor and with battery capacities under 80 kWh use a 400V structure, whereas all others use an 800V structure. The Chinese language carmaker claims these 400V variants will acquire 140 km of vary with simply 10 minutes of charging.
The Hyper HT additionally helps fast battery swap, though that is solely accessible for the variant with 550 km of vary. For the 800V variants, these delivering 670 km of vary can recuperate 415 km with simply quarter-hour of being plugged in, whereas the 770-km possibility takes 10 minutes to realize 450 km.
As for the Hyper GT, the totally electrical sedan was launched in China in late October final yr and measures 4,886 mm lengthy, 1,885 mm huge, 1,449 mm tall and with a wheelbase of two,920 mm.

Each the 60- and 70-kWh models are paired with a rear-mounted electrical motor rated at 245 PS (241 hp or 180 kW) and 355 Nm of torque for a 0-100 km/h time of 6.5 seconds. The final battery is an 80-kWh unit that gives 710 km of vary and is linked to an electrical motor with 340 PS (335 hp or 250 kW) and 430 Nm for a 0-100 km/h time of 4.9 seconds.
Just like the Hyper HT, the Hyper GT help battery swapping, however just for the 70-kWh variant. The corporate states that 80-kWh variants include “excessive voltage overcharging expertise,” which presumably means they’ve an 800V structure and might acquire 450 km with simply quarter-hour of charging.
Sure trim ranges of the Hyper GT include entrance butterfly doorways, however your complete vary will get the identical dual-screen setup and Qualcomm chipset because the Hyper HT.
