Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On May 29, the first batch of YANGWANG U7 sedan's BEV (battery electric vehicle) units for customer delivery officially rolled off the production line, marking a key milestone in the model's delivery process.

The vehicle is the flagship offering under BYD's premium YANGWANG brand. Both the BEV and PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) variants of the U7 hit the market on March 27, with the five-seat version starting at 628,000 yuan and the four-seat variant priced from 708,000 yuan.

Powered by BYD's e⁴ technology, the YANGWANG U7 boasts over 1,300 horsepower, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. It also features innovative capabilities such as in-place turning on all terrains, stable driving after high-speed tire blowouts, and parallel lateral parking maneuvers.

YANGWANG said the U7 is the world's first model to feature the DiSus-Z active suspension system, which utilizes a pioneering direct-drive motor technology to convert electrical energy into precise vertical motion control. The suspension system delivers a peak power of 50 kW, while its Magic Ruler sensor boasts a 50-microsecond response time, capable of capturing 4,000 body position changes per second. With an industry-leading 5-millisecond execution speed, the system achieves unparalleled stability and precision, adjusting the vehicle's height to an accuracy of just 1 millimeter.

Thanks to e⁴ platform's four-wheel independent torque vectoring, the U7 can individually control each wheel within milliseconds, enabling pivot turns and fixed-point rotations. It also introduces the world's first "parallel lateral movement" feature, allowing the car to move sideways with ease. The 20-degree bi-directional intelligent rear-wheel steering, combined with agile steering technology, grants this D-segment luxury sedan maneuverability comparable to a compact A0-segment car.

The U7's BEV version is equipped with a 135.5 kWh high-performance Blade Battery pack, which delivers a CLTC-rated range of 720 km. The PHEV variant features a 52.4 kWh battery with a combined range of 1,000 km. Notably, the PHEV version debuts China's first mass-produced horizontally opposed (boxer) engine, compressed to a height of just 420 mm. This breakthrough maximizes under-hood space utilization while keeping the noise difference between hybrid and pure-electric driving within just 1 decibel.
