BYD unveils the U8 Premium Edition
BYD, a leading global manufacturer of new energy vehicles and power batteries, has officially launched the U8 Premium Edition under its high-end sub-brand, Yangwang, and announced that its delivery will start this October.
The vehicle boasts a plug-in hybrid system, offering an impressive CLTC (Comprehensive Long Trip Capability) range of up to 1,000km, 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, tyre blowout stabilisation, and emergency flotation, ensuring unparalleled safety, exceptional performance, and an extraordinary driving experience.
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 100km/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, minimises occupant displacement during high-speed cornering, acceleration, or braking, and protects the vehicle from damage under challenging road conditions.
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.
