This exceptional vehicle boasts a plug-in hybrid system, offering an impressive CLTC (Comprehensive Long Trip Capability) range of up to 1,000 km, ensuring peace of mind during off-road adventures. The Yangwang U8 is powered by two groundbreaking technologies: the e⁴ platform and the DiSus-P Intelligent Hydraulic Body Control System.

The U8 Premium Edition boasts unique features such as all-terrain tank turns, tire blowout stabilization, and emergency flotation, ensuring unparalleled safety, exceptional performance, and an extraordinary driving experience. The U8 Premium Edition aims to redefine the million-level new energy off-road segment.

Disruptive EV Technologies Empower the Masterpiece

The U8 Premium Edition is driven by the revolutionary e⁴ Platform and the DiSus-P technologies. BYD's e⁴ Platform is the world's first mass-produced four-motor independent drive technology platform, designed to offer leading-class safety and performance. Compared with conventional fuel vehicles, it precisely controls the dynamics of all four wheels through four-motor independent vector control, providing rapid sensing, precise recognition, and robust control capabilities.

The U8 Premium Edition packs a whopping 1,200 horsepower, it can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. The precise torque vectoring on each wheel ensures stability even during a tire blowout, pushing the boundaries of active automotive safety.

The BYD DiSus Intelligent Body Control System is another proprietary breakthrough, enhancing vehicle agility and compatibility in various driving scenarios. It reduces the risk of rollovers, minimizes occupant displacement during high-speed cornering, acceleration, or braking, and protects the vehicle from damage under challenging road conditions.

An Unprecedented Premium Off-roader for the Discerning Driver

The U8 Premium Edition supports fast DC charging at rates of up to 110 kW, allowing a charge from 30% to 80% in just 18 minutes. In extreme conditions, such as flash floods or off-road water obstacles, the U8 Premium Edition can remain afloat for up to 30 minutes, maintaining stability and control for swift evasion.* Its 6 kW vehicle-to-load (VTL) discharge capability can power electronic devices and high-power equipment for up to 25 hours. The Yangwang U8 Premium Edition integrates 38 high-precision components and the robust NVIDIA DRIVE Orin intelligent driving processor, with a computational capability of up to 508 TOPS. The Yangwang U8 Premium Edition is equipped with Blade Batteries and supplemented with Cell-to-Chassis (CTC) technology, ensuring comprehensive travel safety.

Inside, the U8 Premium Edition's symmetrical, dual-layered cockpit features a 12.8-inch OLED Galaxy Curved Center Display, dual 23.6-inch longitudinal screens for the driver and front passenger, and high-end Nappa leather seats combined with Sapele wood from Africa. With three wireless charging spots, compatible with 50 kW fast charging, passengers can enjoy quick and convenient charging. It also boasts the Dynaudio Evidence Series high-end audio system with 22 speakers, offering an immersive auditory experience.

The Future Journey of Yangwang U8

Earlier this year, BYD unveiled its high-end sub-brand, Yangwang, dedicated to providing premium services accessible to consumers. Display vehicles of the U8 Premium Edition are now showcased in stores across major cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Chengdu, with deliveries scheduled to start in October. Over 60 Yangwang’s direct sale stores are under construction, with plans to open more than 90 stores in over 40 cities by year-end.

With BYD's unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability, Yangwang represents the future of greener transportation. Yangwang aims to push the boundaries of new energy vehicle evolution, offering robust performance, uncompromising safety, and an unparalleled driving experience.

*The emergency flotation feature is a passively triggered emergency function. The manufacturer advises users against attempting it without due cause. Once triggered, the vehicle needs to be returned to the factory for a thorough check.
