BYD YANGWANG U8 (2025) - INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR FEATURES

EV Channels Review

This review of the BYD Yangwang U8 highlights its status as a premium, technologically advanced SUV from BYD's new Yangwang brand. The vehicle boasts an impressive 1,180bhp powertrain, primarily driven by a 2.0-litre petrol range extender coupled with electric motors at each wheel. Key features include its substantial size (5.3m length, 3.4-tonne weight), advanced tech like Lidar and night vision, and a unique 'tank turn' capability. While the styling is described as bold and potentially derivative of other luxury SUVs, its body-on-frame construction and numerous all-terrain modes suggest significant off-road prowess. The review notes a claimed range of 620 miles (112 purely electric) and a 49kWh battery with 110kW DC charging. The U8 is positioned as a high-end offering, priced around £120,000 in China.
