BYD presented the first models of the new sub-brand Yangwang
2 models were shown: the U8 SUV, previously called the R1 on the network, and the U9 hypercar.
The brutal appearance of U8 combines futuristic notes and is called the "Gate of Time". The optics are shaped like ancient Chinese vessels, the profile of the car is similar to that of the new Land Rover Defender. There are 3 lidars on the roof at once, helping the autopilot to work. With a length of 5300 mm and a wheelbase of 3050 mm, the U8 is superior to the Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen.
There was no official presentation of the interior of the SUV, while this is a secret, but there are no barriers for “photo spies”. Therefore, we have an idea that inside there is a block of several screens, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel.
Yangwang U8 is assembled on the original Yisifang frame platform, the difference of which is in the original filling. The power plant contains 4 electric motors, the total output of which reaches 1100 horsepower. In 3 seconds, the U8 accelerates to 100 km/h. The company's specialists assure that the electric car has several driving modes at once, and the reaction of the car to changes in the roadway is a hundred times faster than that of the classic all-wheel drive system.
Additionally, the SUV has a “crab mode”, a “floating” mode allows you to overcome a small ford, turn around on the spot, and even move with a flat tire at speeds up to 120 km/h. In this case, the body will self-align so that the car does not “squint” to the side.
The price range of Yangwang U8 is from 800 thousand to 1.5 million yuan (from 7.9 million rubles to 14.8 million rubles), which makes it one of the most premium Chinese automakers. A start date for sales has not yet been announced.
The authors-creators do not declassify the technical details of the U9 hypercar. It is only known that it can accelerate to 100 km / h in 2 seconds. The exterior is replete with LED elements in the optics and the original "fin" on the roof.
