Hyptec HT Premium review: More than just a fancy door
The Hyptec HT Premium is an electric SUV that offers a high-performance driving experience and extensive tech features despite lacking the gull-wing doors of the luxury variant. It boasts a 520km range and fast-charging capabilities, positioning it as a competitive option in the EV market.
Why it matters
As the EV market matures, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on feature-set differentiation to maintain competitiveness against established rivals.
Cars these days are honestly all rather good; there really aren’t that many lemons around anymore. So how do automakers stand out from the competition? Well, they introduce new gizmos, gadgets, and headline features.
In the case of the Hyptec HT, the headlining feature at launch was easily its rear gull-wing doors, which were outstanding and unique. The question is, does the lack of those same fancy doors in the HT Premium mean it fades into the crowd? Absolutely not.
The reason is that at its core, the HT is a solid product, whether or not its doors go upwards or outwards. In fact, the only differences between the higher-spec (with the gull-wings) Luxury variant and this Premium variant we’re looking at are the rear doors, the automatic front doors, a slightly different panoramic roof, and slightly different brake callipers.
