Developed to compete with high-end brands such as Mercedes and BMW, the YangWang U8 offers functions such as 360-degree tank rotation and crab mode thanks to four electric motors
BYD, which has recently made a name for itself with its success in NEV (New Energy Vehicle) sales in China, has established a new electric vehicle brand called YangWang in order to compete with its competitors in the higher segment. The YangWang U8 is also one of the first two models announced by this brand.
What YangWang U8 offers with its features❓
The new YangWang U8 is described as a 100% electric and luxurious all-terrain vehicle built on a ladder chassis. The electric SUV, which also offers a very muscular appearance with its design, has four electric motors and special technologies that help with off-road driving ability. Apart from the details in the design, it is also possible to see Land Rover Defender inspirations as the overall silhouette.
Although the YangWang U8 is described as an offroad vehicle, it has details that can be considered luxurious, such as illuminated front blinds. In addition, the LED light signature, which looks like a whole with the shutter, has also added a different air to the electric SUV. Apart from that, angular fender tips, 20-inch wheels, hidden door handles, Decked spare wheel cover and split LED stops are also among the design details of YangWang U8.
The electric SUV has a length of 5300 mm and an axle distance of 3050 mm. At this point, it is possible to say that it is slightly shorter than the new Defender 130. The battery pack consisting of BYD's blade-type battery cells is used in the model in question, but the capacity and estimated range data are not yet clear. The U8 also features the "Yisifang" technology developed for the quad engine system. It is said that this technology will be standard in all versions.
In the YangWang U8, each engine produces a power of 295 hp and a torque of 420 Nm. According to the company statement, the electric SUV offers a total power of 1100 hp. Thus, this large and heavy SUV completes its acceleration from 0-100 km / h in just 3 seconds. The U8 also features advanced torque steering functions and an electronically controlled all-wheel drive system, which is stated to be 100 times faster than conventional systems.
According to the brand's description, the new U8 will feature features such as 360-degree tank rotation and crab mode. We have seen the crab mode on the electric Hummer before, which is made possible by opening the rear wheels like the front ones. In addition to these, the mode of passing through deep waters thanks to the waterproof and sealed body and driving modes suitable for different October scenarios are also among the features that increase the capabilities of the SUV.Finally, among the details shared is that the SUV can be driven at a speed of 120 km /h even with Decayed tires.
There is no information on the price yet, but according to local media reports, the U8 will have a price tag of around 1 million yuan (£ 2.77 million). How did you like the design of the YangWang U8?
