Merek Premium Yangwang BYD akan secara resmi meluncurkan SUV U8 pada bulan September 20

Yangwang memulai pra-penjualan U8 pada hari pertama pameran mobil Shanghai pada bulan April 18, dengan harga pra-jual RMB 1.098 juta.

BYD‘s premium brand Yangwang will officially launch its first production vehicle, U8, akhir bulan ini, after it began pre-sales at the Shanghai auto show in April.

The launch of the Yangwang U8 will take place on September 20, the brand announced today on Weibo.

The SUV features an innovative sealed design that will deliver NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance that exceeds that of its class, Yangwang said.

Yangwang didn’t provide any further information on the U8’s launch, which is slightly later than previously planned, as the brand said in June that it expected the model to be launched in August and deliveries to begin in September.

BYD officially unveiled the Yangwang brand on January 5 and gave the Yangwang U8 and Yangwang U9, both of which will feature e⁴ technology, a debut.

e⁴ is China’s first mass-produced quad-motor independent drive technology platform, capable of realizing precise control of vehicle dynamics on all four wheels thanks to four-motor independent vector control technology, BYD said at the time.

Yangwang began pre-sales of the U8 on April 18, the first day of the Shanghai auto show, dengan harga pra-jual RMB 1.098 juta ($150,000).

The car will be offered in two versions — the Premium Edition and the Off-road Master Edition. Their pre-sale prices are the same, with the difference being that the former is more richly equipped, while the latter has more room for modification.

The Yangwang U8 has a maximum output of over 1,100 tenaga kuda, accelerates from 0 ke 100 kilometer per jam di 3.6 Detik, and has a CLTC pure electric range of 180 Kilometer, according to information previously announced by Yangwang.

The car supports fast charging, taking 18 minutes to go from 30 percent recharge to 80 persen. It is equipped with an external discharge function with a maximum discharge power of 6 Kw.

The model measures 5,319 panjang mm, 2,050 mm lebar dan 1,930 tinggi mm, dengan jarak sumbu roda 3,050 Mm, according to a previous regulatory filing.
