2025 YangWang U7/U9
While BYD offers vehicles for the mass market under its own brand name, the ‘Denza’ sub-brand covers the premium segment and ‘YangWang’ covers the high-end luxury and technology segments, although
of course, take-overs between these segments are possible from top to bottom
The U7 is currently the most impressive, far beyond the boundaries of the corporation. ChatGPT describes it as an "uncompromising technological flagship". It is also available in China as a plug-in hybrid with a
2.0-liter boxer engine.
The design concept was created by Wolfgang Egger, Audi's former head of design. The car is part of a new generation of very sporty yet four-door sedans, perhaps
inspired by Tesla's Plaid models.
The steel springs' damping can also respond to road irregularities using camera-based technology (BYD-DiSus Z). It is thus considered an electromagnetic active suspension system capable of stabilizing the chassis
and reducing body roll when cornering.

It is even said to be possible to continue driving safely in the event of a flat tire. Three displays adorn the dashboard, with additional ones in the rear. The middle one in the front is 12.8 inches wide and slightly curved.
In addition, there is the option of a head-up display with augmented reality.
The YangWang U9 is a completely different type of vehicle. Unlike the U7, it has only two doors and is shorter, with a length of 4.97 meters and a wheelbase of 2.90 meters. It became famous in Europe because it set a
new record on the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring.
In August 2025, he set a new record for electric supercars with a time of just under 7 minutes. In China itself, it had already set a speed record of just under 500 km/h. It features a DiSus-X variant that has been enhanced
for race cars.
