The GAC Hyptec HL 5.1-meter electric SUV was revealed in official images before the premiere at the Guangzhou Auto Show 2024 on November 15. The Hyptec HL features a hidden interactive light panel in the front end. It has dual-motor 4WD and the 800V platform.
Hyptec is an electric brand under GAC Group launched in 2023 with overseas ambitions. It was initially called βHyperβ. However, in August 2024, GAC rebranded Hyper as Hyptec. The word βHyptecβ consists of two parts: Hyp (means Hyper) and Tec (Technology). Hyptecβs current model line comprises three models: GT sedan, HT fatback SUV, and SSR sports car. GAC plans to introduce its fourth car at the Guangzhou Auto Show 2024 on November 15. It is the Hyptec HL flagship crossover, previously known as AH8.
Hyptec HL official images
The Hyptec HL was previously seen in China during road tests. On November 12, GAC shared official images of the flagship crossover. It has an elongated body with a low beltline and a flat roof with LiDAR sensor. The Hyptec HL adopts retractable door handles, multi-spoke 21-inch rims, and a single taillight unit. The front end of the Hyptec flagship SUV has two-storey headlights. The upper part is LED running lights. High beams are integrated into the front bumper.
One of the most interesting features of the Hyptec HL is a hidden interactive LED panel in the front end. It consists of multiple light units. Hyptec HLβs driver can project text and simple images via this element. Nowadays, the Geely-backed Zeekr offers a similar design feature, which is the Zeekr Stargate LED panel.
More about Hyptec HL
Back to Hyptec HL, its body length reaches 5126 mm with a wheelbase of 3088 mm. For clarity, it is slightly longer than the second-gen Nio ES8 (see specs). GAC shared no images of the HLβs interior. However, we had a glimpse of its cabin, thanks to spy shots. The Hyptec HL has six seats with a 2 + 2 + 2 layout.
The Hyptec HL stands on the 800V high-voltage platform, suitable for 5C fast charging. We will briefly remind you that 5C means the charging power is five times the capacity. The brandβs flagship SUV will be available with an optional dual-motor 4WD. Its peak power output has yet to be revealed. Other features of the Hyptec HL include air suspension and an AI-powered ADIGO 6.0 driving assistance system.
