After the tough SUV YangWang U8 proved to be a hit, BYD’s luxury electric brand YangWang now has the YangWang U9 in its lineup. After its January launch, the U8 attracted a lot of attention and saw remarkable sales numbers in China. By providing customers with a blend of cutting-edge technology and thrilling performance, BYD hopes to further establish itself in the electric vehicle market with the U9.
Four electric motors drive the YangWang U9, producing 960 kW of total output (1,287 hp)
With 300 km/h as its top speed, the U9 is a powerful vehicle that can travel at a fast pace, making it an intimidating sight on the road. Interestingly, the vehicle has a BYD Blade battery, which has LFP chemistry and offers dependable and effective energy storage.
The U9, which is based on the new e4 platform, has a sleek two-door coupe design and dimensions that are similar to those of well-known luxury cars like the BMW 5 Series and Audi A4. With its scissor doors and optional carbon fiber rear spoilers, the U9 embodies the spirit of high-performance driving with its sleek and futuristic appearance.
With a roomy cabin featuring full suede upholstery and carbon fiber accents, the YangWang U9 provides a sumptuous and immersive driving experience inside.
