1287-HP YangWang U7 EV & PHEV – BYD Luxury Super Sedan Under $90K

1287-HP YangWang U7 Launched in China – Both EV and PHEV Options, Priced Under $90,000

The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is growing all over the world, and China is leading the way. BYD, one of the world’s largest EV manufacturers, has launched the new YangWang U7 under its luxury brand Yangwang (仰望). The car not only looks great but also has so much power that it is being called a “supersedan”.

The best part is that the YangWang U7 starts at around $86,000 (around ₹71 lakh) in China, which is much lower than other super luxury cars in this segment.

Powerful Powertrain – 1287 horsepower

The biggest highlight of the YangWang U7 is its powertrain. It has four electric motors (Quad-Motor Setup), each motor produces 321 HP. That is, a total of 1287 horsepower and 1680 Nm torque.

• It reaches the speed of 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds.
• The top speed is around 270 km/h.
• It has 20 degree rear-wheel steering, which makes its turning radius just 4.85 meters.

This much power was previously available only in supercars or hypercars, but now it is also available in luxury sedans.

Two variants – EV and PHEV

EV (Battery Electric Vehicle)

• 135.5 kWh BYD Blade battery.
• CLTC range: 720 km (447 miles).
• The battery weighs around 903 kg.
• Fast charging support – 30% to 80% charging in just under 20 minutes.

PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle)

• 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four engine + 52.4 kWh battery.
• EV mode range: 200 km.
• Total driving range: 1000 km (620 miles).
• 0-100 km/h speed in just 4.1 seconds even on low battery.

Thus, for users who do not want to completely depend on EV, PHEV is a great option.

High-tech suspension – DiSus-Z

YangWang U7 has DiSus-Z Intelligent Suspension System. This electromagnetic suspension is used in place of traditional hydraulic shockers.

• Gives response in just 10 milliseconds.
• Energy recovery feature to charge the battery.
• Ability to balance the vehicle and drive safely in case of a tyre burst.

That is, this car is not only fast but also very safe and smooth.

In terms of premium features, this car is no less than any German luxury brand.

Smart Technology – God’s Eye A

To make YangWang U7 safe and smart, BYD has installed DiPilot 700 driving assistance system in it.

• 3 RoboSense LiDAR units
• 5 millimeter-wave radars
• 13 high-definition cameras

From an Indian perspective

BYD already sells EVs like the Atto 3 and Seal in India. If the YangWang U7 is brought to India, it could compete with ultra-luxury electric cars like the Mercedes-Benz EQS and BMW i7.

However, considering its price and import taxes, it could go above ₹1.5 crore in India.

Conclusion

The YangWang U7 is a revolutionary EV. It has a great combination of power, luxury, and high-tech features. 1287 HP of power, a range of 1000 km, and a price under $90,000 – make it a game-changer in the global EV market.

If it comes to markets like India, it will set a new benchmark in the luxury EV segment.
