The YangWang luxury liftback, an extension of BYD, is set to challenge premium electric sedans such as the Mercedes-Benz EQS and BMW i7. Car industry coverage notes this plan based on new design disclosures captured in patent imagery.
The sedan’s name remains under wraps until a formal reveal, anticipated to occur no earlier than mid-2024. Visual cues point to distinctive U-shaped headlights, an expansive panoramic glass roof, and prominent stamping on the doors and hood. An active rear spoiler is also part of the design language, signaling aerodynamic intent and a sporty silhouette.
Power specifications indicate a quad-motor layout, with each wheel driven independently. Total system output is projected at 1180 horsepower, highlighting the car’s performance-oriented engineering. A standout feature is the proprietary DiSus suspension system, which enables independent control of each wheel for enhanced handling and ride comfort on varied road surfaces.
On pricing, early estimates place the new sedan in the vicinity of 800 thousand yuan in the Chinese market, equivalent to about 10.7 million rubles depending on exchange rates at the time. This positioning suggests a high-end option within BYD’s luxury lineup, aimed at attracting buyers seeking elevated performance and cutting-edge technology within a Chinese price tier.
Earlier reports also highlighted BYD’s plan to premiere the Dynasty minivan in China during 2024, signaling a broader strategy to expand the brand’s footprint across premium and family-focused segments. Credit: CarNewsChina.
