At the beginning of 2024, Human Horizons found itself in a difficult financial situation, which prompted the company's management to implement radical cost-cutting measures. In January, the company closed its two large showroom-style showrooms in Chengdu and Guangzhou, and also had to suspend all work of the research and development center.{{cite web|access-date=2024-02-19 |language=en |title=Is HiPhi about to go bust? |date=12 February 2024 |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/02/12/is-hiphi-about-to-go-bust/}} A month later, Human Horizons officially confirmed that it was suspending all operations, starting from the development of new products, to the production of its current cars for the next 6 months. In addition, staff received salary cuts of up to 70% of their salary, encouraging staff to look for a new employer.{{cite web|access-date=2024-02-19 |language=en |title=HiPhi halts all production with immediate effect in China |date=19 February 2024 |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/02/19/hiphi-halts-all-production-with-immediate-effect-in-china/}}

After an unsuccessful search for new owners, considering either selling shares or entering into cooperation within a joint venture, Human Horizons filed for bankruptcy in early August 2024.{{cite web|access-date=2024-08-09 |language=en |title=China's HiPhi EV Startup Is In Trouble, As Parent Company Files For Bankruptcy |url=https://www.carscoops.com/2024/08/chinas-hiphi-ev-startup-is-in-trouble-as-parent-company-files-for-bankruptcy/}}
