BYD is aiming to challenge Porsche, Mercedes, and Tesla with its upcoming luxury electric sedan, the Yangwang U7, set to launch later this year. The new vehicle is already generating excitement as it hits dealerships in China. Last year, BYD introduced its luxury brand, Yangwang, with the launch of the U8 off-roader. The brand also unveiled the Yangwang U9 electric supercar earlier this year, boasting impressive speed and power capabilities.
The new Yangwang U7 is based on the same platform as the U9 sports car and features four electric motors with over 1,300 hp. Equipped with a large battery, the U7 has an impressive range of up to 497 mi (800 km). The sedan also offers a smooth ride thanks to its advanced suspension system.
The design of the U7 draws inspiration from the U9, featuring similar headlights and a sleek aerodynamic profile. With its high-performance capabilities and luxurious features, the Yangwang U7 is set to compete with top-notch electric sedans like the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan.
