BYD YANGWANG U8 (2024) - THE MOST POWERFUL SUV!

EV Channels Review

The BYD Yangwang U8 is presented as the world's most powerful SUV, boasting an astonishing 1184 bhp and a 0-62mph time of 3.6 seconds, a figure confirmed in testing. Its luxury SUV positioning is likened to the Land Rover Defender and Mercedes G-Class, with a strong emphasis on off-road capability and advanced features. Notable technologies include independent wheel-power distribution for a 360-degree "tank turn" and the surprising ability to float. While its immense power and unique features are highlighted, the review notes significant body pitch and roll during cornering, even in sport mode, and that its 3.4-tonne weight is a considerable physical limitation. Despite these drawbacks, the U8 is acknowledged to perform admirably on a race track, suggesting its off-road prowess is likely substantial.
