Yangwang U7 with DiSus-Z, “God’s Eye” A, and four electric motors at 1,287 hp launched in China, starts at 86,500 USD

On March 27, BYD [1] launched its Yangwang U7 [2] on the Chinese market - the first flagship sedan under the Yangwang brand, with a price range of 628,000 - 708,000 yuan (86,500 - 98,000 USD), available in 4- and 5-seater layouts as well as EV and PHEV variants. The new car features the automaker's DiSus-Z suspension system, e4 (Yisifang) platform, "God's Eye" A advanced driving assistance system, and four electric motors.

Overall, the appearance is inspired by the "energy crystal" concept, according to BYD.

Four exterior paints are offered.

The EV variant measures 5265/1998/1517 mm with a 3160 mm wheelbase while the PHEV measures 5360/2000/1515 mm with a 3200 mm wheelbase.

The drag coefficient is only 0.195Cd.

Equipped with the "God's Eye" A advanced driving assistance system, the Yangwang U7 comes with three ultra-long-range lidars, five millimeter-wave radars, 13 high-definition cameras, and 12 ultrasonic radars, to achieve L2+ capabilities without relying on high-precision maps.

In terms of power, the EV variant is equipped with the e4 platform's four electric motors, with a total system power of 960 kW (1,287 hp), a total torque of 1,680 Nm, an 0 - 100 km/h acceleration time of 2.9 seconds, and a top speed of 270 km/h; matched with 135.5 kWh BYD Blade batteries, providing a CLTC range of 720 km. Under the DC dual-gun fast charging (500 kW maximum power), it takes 20 minutes to replenish from 30% to 80%.

The PHEV variant is powered by an additional 2.0T engine on top of the four electric motors, and matched with 52.4 kWh BYD Blade batteries. The fuel tank capacity is 60 L, the pure electric range is 200 km and the comprehensive range is 1,000 km. Under DC single-gun fast charging (230 kW maximum power), it takes 10 minutes to replenish from 30% to 80%.

Interestingly, U7's 2.0T ICE is the first horizontally opposed engine (also known as a boxer or flat engine) in China's auto.

Additionally, the e4 platform supports two-way 20? intelligent rear-wheel steering, parallel lateral movement, and tank turn. The minimum turning radius is 4.85 meters. At the same time, the DiSus-Z suspension system replaces the traditional hydraulic shock absorber with a magnetic suspension motor.

In conjunction with e4, the Yangwang U7 also supports capabilities such as high-speed tire blowout stability, emergency obstacle avoidance, and suspension parameter adjustments based on identification of the road conditions.

When the flat tire is detected, the system lifts the affected wheel, allowing the remaining three wheels to drive independently. This enables the vehicle to continue at 80 km/h for up to 30 km.

The Disus-Z fully electronic vertical body control system uses data from lidar and cameras to detect road conditions half a second in advance. This allows the suspension to automatically adjust the vehicle's height and damping for a smoother ride.

The interior adopts the same "Star Ring Cockpit" design concept as that of the Yangwang U8, covered with Nappa leather, carbon fiber, and real wood door trims.

A 12.8-inch OLED curved screen is installed in the center, powered by the new generation DiLink 150 smart cockpit system with a DiLink 4-nanometer cockpit chip and integrated withe the DeepSeek R1 model to realize AI voice assistant support. The sound system comes from 23 Dynaudio speakers.

There is also a 6-inch copilot entertainment screen, a 23.6-inch instrument panel, an AR-HUD, two 12.8-inch rear multimedia screens, a digital rearview mirror, a driver monitoring camera, and a cockpit monitoring camera. Furthermore, the front seats are adjustable in up to 20 directions with ventilation and heating, and hot stone massage functions.

The 4-seat version also offers independent rear seats with electric leg rests. We'll send you a weekly summary in your e-mail. No spam.
