In recent years, BYD's Denza series, Formula Leopard series and Yangwang series have had good market performance, among which Yangwang as BYD's high-end car brand, its first model Yangwang U8 price is as high as 1.098 million, which has attracted widespread attention, but even if the price is as high as one million, its sales performance is relatively stable. So, how does this model perform? Let's take a closer look.
According to BYD's official announcement of the current user portrait of U8, most of the audience groups of U8 have also opened old luxury brands, nearly 55% of the car owners are from the first-tier and new first-tier cities, of which more than 80% of the car owners are business owners, partners and company executives, and 90% of the car owners have more than 2 vehicles, it is enough to see that the reputation and recognition of the U8 in the market is also relatively high, so what is the strength of the U8?
From the point of view of appearance, looking up at the front of the U8 gives people a very strong sense of momentum, using a new family-style design language called "Time and Space Gate", the appearance of this car has a return rate needless to say, and the return rate on the road is very high. The front face has a dot matrix grille and matrix LED headlights, matrix LED headlights and daytime running lights, automatic headlights, adaptive high and low beams, turn assist lights, headlight height adjustment, headlight delay shut-off function. The front bumper has a clear sense of layering, and it looks highly recognizable and visually impactful. The top of the front of the luxury version is also equipped with three 96-line lidars of Suteng Juchuang.
The side shape of the body is hard and square, coupled with the wheel arches and waistline with a strong sense of power, which also makes the vehicle look more tough. In the D-pillar part, look up to the U8 embedded with multiple LED light strips, which can present personalized lighting effects when charging, discharging and unlocking. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 5325x2095x1940mm, the wheelbase reaches 3050mm, the minimum turning radius is 5.76m, the approach angle is 37.5 °, and the departure angle is 38 °.
In addition, the U8 off-road player version is equipped with 20-inch off-road player version exclusive forged wheels as standard, with Michelin's Goodrich tires, focusing on off-road, good grip, and dexterous steering control, and its off-road performance can be felt from the body parameters.
At the rear of the car, the U8 adopts the opening method of the external spare tire and the side door, and the tail lights and headlights of the U8 echo each other from afar. It is worth mentioning that this car can be equipped with optional wading hoses, winches, side ladders, tow hooks and electrical connectors to further improve its off-road performance.
Coming to the car, I think the entire interior design style of the U8 is different from the traditional hard-core off-road model, and is more inclined to a sense of luxury and technology. The interior of the car adopts a symmetrical layout, with a 23.6-inch full LCD instrument + 12.8-inch central control screen, creating a good texture and sense of technology, and the display effect and smoothness are good. In addition, the car is also equipped with a leather multi-function steering wheel, which supports up and down front and rear adjustment, gear shifting, heating and other functions.
In terms of intelligent interconnection, it is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 plus chip, which has a rich software application ecosystem and higher playability. At the same time, the in-vehicle system is also equipped with rich functions such as navigation road condition information display, roadside assistance service, facial recognition, remote start, automatic parking, hill assist, panoramic camera, driving assistance image, full-speed adaptive cruise, mobile app remote control, and L2 level assisted driving level.
In terms of NVH performance, when the vehicle is driving at a speed of 60km/h, the interior noise does not exceed 55dB, and the vehicle is equipped with Dynaudio Platinum Evidence Series Hi-End audio, equipped with 22 speakers, and the 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos technology used can restore the real sound field, in terms of NVH quietness, looking up at U8 is quite good.
In terms of riding, looking up at the U8, the car is wrapped in leather seats, ventilation, heating and massage are equipped, the front seats support electric adjustment, and the experiencer with a height of 180cm can adjust the front seats to a normal position after the headroom is very sufficient. The rear seats also have electric adjustment, leg rests, electric reclining, and a large number of suede are used on the roof, which increases the sense of luxury, and the rear seat space is very spacious, after all, the wheelbase of this car has reached 3050mm, and the rear head and legroom performance is relatively generous.
In terms of power, the Yangwang U8 is equipped with Yi Sifang and Yunlin-P systems, and the luxury version of the model uses a 2.0T range extender and a quad motor with a maximum power of 880 kilowatts, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 3.6 seconds, which is indeed good enough for a large SUV. And also because of the use of four wheels and four motors, the car has the function of in-situ U-turn, emergency floating, etc., and even after a puncture, it can also drive stably, so when driving in the city, the power of the car is good enough, and in the case of extended range power, its endurance performance is also good, its CLTC pure electric range is 180 kilometers, CLTC comprehensive mileage of 1000 kilometers, and it also has the ability to travel long distances and cross long distances.
After actual testing, I personally think that the off-road ability of looking up to U8 is good enough, but I think most people who consider looking up to U8 will not often take it off-road, most of them are still used in urban commuting and suburban camping, the car has a one-key leveling for camping, 220V in-car power supply and a maximum of 6 kilowatts of vehicle external discharge function, so it is indeed more suitable when camping.
Overall, the appearance aura of the car is still very strong, the interior luxury + high configuration are the highlights of this car, in the SUV market of more than one million yuan, it also has a good brand effect, from the sales point of view, the U8 has a relatively stable sales volume after the listing, which is enough to show that the U8 is still relatively recognized in the SUV market of more than one million yuan. If you want to buy a new energy large SUV, looking up to the U8 is worth considering.
