The BYD (EV) Thread

BYD Yangwang U7 deliveries start

BYD, the undisputed giant in the world of electric vehicles, has officially begun deliveries of the Yangwang U7, the latest creation from its ultra-luxury sub-brand.

The large electric sedan is rolling into showrooms across China, aiming to carve out a slice of the premium EV pie. It is the clearest intent yet from BYD to expand its dominance in the mass market and to challenge established luxury players.

The Yangwang U7 commands a presence through its sheer dimensions alone. Measuring 5,265 mm long, 1,998 mm wide, and 1,517 mm tall, it sits right between BMW i7 and i5. The long wheelbase of 3,160 mm promises a spacious interior, which comes in both four-seat and five-seat layouts. This flexibility extends to the powertrain, as the U7 is available as a fully battery electric vehicle (BEV) or as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV).

Yangwang U7's e4 platform features four independent electric motors, with one dedicated to each wheel. Each motor produces a peak power of 240 kilowatts. When working in concert, they unleash a colossal total output of 960 kW (about 1,287 horsepower) and a peak torque of 1,584 Nm.

These are numbers typically associated with multi-million dollar hypercars, not four-door sedans. This immense power allows the large U7 to accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in a breathtaking 2.9 seconds - a feat that could challenge your understanding of physics in a family car. Sure, it is nearly a second slower than the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra despite having almost identical power output. The difference is purely down to vehicle size and weight.
