World's Most Powerful SUV - BYD Yangwang U8 - 38 Sensors

Hi, how are you all? I hope you are doing well and taking care of yourselves. Today, I have brought you a powerful SUV, one that I promise you have never seen before. This SUV is truly amazing, and neither I nor anyone else has seen anything quite like it. Let's dive in and see what makes this vehicle so exceptional.

International Car Series: BYD Yangvan U8

This is part of our international car series, where I showcase amazing cars from around the world. We'll explore what's offered in India and compare it to the international market, including prices.

Unveiling the BYD Yangvan U8

First up is the car that has left me astounded: the BYD Yangvan U8. The name may be simple, but the car is anything but. The front profile is incredibly attractive, with an amazing DRL (Daytime Running Light) design. The LED headlamps integrated into the DRL add to the appeal, and the DRLs extend towards the hood, giving the car a next-level look. The symmetry of the grill design is smartly maintained, adding to the car's allure.

Advanced Features and Technology

I'm thrilled to see this car and its impressive array of features. At the front, there's a radar, parking sensors, and a front camera. This car boasts 38 sensors, including 3 lidars, 5 radars, and 14 ultrasonic radars. Additionally, it is equipped with 16 cameras, enhancing safety and functionality.

Pricing and Comparison

Given the plethora of features, you might expect the price to be sky-high. While a car like this could be worth 5-10 crores, it is available for 1.20 crores in India. This makes it an incredible deal considering the technology and features packed into it.

Design and Dimensions

The side profile reveals a tyre profile of 275/50R22, with a smart design that justifies its next-level appeal. The cladding adds to the stylish look, and the turn indicator, radar unit, and camera enhance its functionality. The ORVM (Outside Rear View Mirror) also includes a camera, contributing to the total of 16 cameras.

The step paddles and classy upper design add to its appeal. The dimensions are impressive: around 5.3 meters in length, 2 meters in width, and 2 meters in height, making it a muscular and aggressive vehicle.

Performance and Specifications

This SUV features flush door handles and AC/DC charging control. It has a 49 kW battery that charges from 30-80% in just 5 minutes. In EV mode, the U8 offers a range of 180 km, while in hybrid mode, it provides an outstanding mileage of 120 kmpl.

The rear of the car is aggressive and bulky, with two cameras, a small spoiler, and well-designed backlights. The spare tyre comes with a cover and is a full-size tyre with alloys.

Impressive Rear Design

A camera is placed at the rear, and moving further down, you will notice the U8's badging. The same DRL pattern as the front is used here in a diamond cut, which looks amazing. This light segment is very classy and appealing. You can open the boot from here, which is quite heavy, indicating a solid build quality. Alcantara, wooden finish, and leather are used extensively, enhancing the design. This is our hydraulic door, and chrome is used to add grip, looking very good.

Advanced Interior Features

The bottom side houses the battery pack. With the provided controls, you can adjust the mid-row seats' height and manage the boot height, especially useful when carrying heavy luggage. There is a 220V AC socket, a 12V charging socket, and a subwoofer on the back side. For luggage cover, a camera is installed on the bottom side. The interior features a large infotainment system that captures all the car's activities.

Versatile Driving Modes

This car is a 4x4, suitable for different terrains like snow, mud, sand, and wading. Seat ventilation controls are available for all four front and mid-row seats. The steering matches the theme of the dashboard profile and seats, with a touch of black piano finish. There are two dials for driving modes and terrain settings: Eco, Normal, Sport, Drive. Controls for emergency braking and alert sensitivity are on the left and right sides.

High-Tech Controls and Comfort

Volume control, a button for favorites, and a camera button for 360-degree coverage are provided. Navigation of the instrument cluster is through these controls. The car is equipped with numerous sensors to detect surrounding people. Bottom-side controls include traction, air suspension, and 4x4 settings. There is a wireless charger control for two phones, and instead of a bottle holder, there is a space with a refrigerator inside.

Luxury and Convenience

Another screen for the passenger allows phone mirroring, internet surfing, and seat settings. Different massage options and electric seat adjustments are available. Unique air vent designs are placed on the upper side, contributing to a soothing and classy ambiance. The car feels very futuristic with an electrochromic IRVM and a panoramic sunroof. Haptic touch controls and two sun shades, similar to the Audi Q7, add to the luxury.

Distinctive Door Panel Design

The door panel features different design patterns with a glossy finish on the upper side, a wood finish, and leather. The speaker at the bottom and the tweeter have a unique design, rounding off the car's sophisticated and luxurious interior.
