Any buyers or comments on the Hyptec HT? Are they positioning as Lexus of AION/GAC. Any drivers who have owned it and can give some balanced positive - negative feedbacks?

Neutral Newbie

So I test drove this, and it's actually a nice car! Even though they're selling the less powerful version at Gargash, which is unfortunate, I'm actually seriously considering buying one of these.

A few notes and things to consider:

the gull wing doors feel a little wonky when closing.

AC vents are misplaced - they're placed a little lower than they should have been for full effectiveness in Dubai weather.

upon flooring the pedal, there was a little torque steer, which is strange being a RWD. Also it seemed quicker than it's stats (0-100 in 6.5s?)

interior was nicer than I had expected - Nappa leather seats, Alcantara headliners, leather wrapper dashboard and door trims. Honestly felt like I was in a slightly inferior Porsche Cayenne.

cabin stayed very quiet in my short test drive - dual pane window glass definitely doing work there.

I went to test it too. Its damn comfy. Compared to its nearest rival IMHO, the Sealion, it is very compelling.

The only thing is the annoying SG road tax. That little bump of under 30hp over the Sealion 7 results in 1.2k of extra road tax. Damn stupid SG rules.
