Yangwang (meaning "look up" or "aspire" in Chinese) was unveiled by BYD in early 2023 as its flagship ultra-premium brand, positioned above both BYD's mainstream lineup and the Denza premium sub-brand. Backed by BYD's industry-leading battery technology, massive manufacturing scale, and deep R&D capabilities, Yangwang represents China's most ambitious push into the ultra-luxury and high-performance EV segments.
The brand's debut model, the Yangwang U8, is a full-size luxury SUV that has garnered worldwide attention for its remarkable technical capabilities. Featuring BYD's proprietary DiSus intelligent body control system with four independent electric motors — one at each wheel — the U8 can perform extraordinary maneuvers including tank turns and even float briefly in water. With over 1,100 horsepower and a luxurious interior, the U8 targets buyers who previously considered only the most prestigious European and American luxury SUVs.
The Yangwang U9 is an electric supercar that showcases BYD's performance ambitions, featuring quad motors, active suspension capable of making the car "jump," and acceleration figures that rival established supercars at a fraction of the price. The U9 represents a technology halo for the entire BYD group and demonstrates the performance potential of the company's e-Platform technology.
