What is the concept of a luxury car in everyone's eyes? Is it technology, price, heritage, or materials? For a long time, the impact of domestic cars on the high-end market is not optimistic, but with the passage of time, the advent of the new energy track has provided the Chinese automobile industry with the opportunity to overtake in corners, and at the same time, the hard work pays off, and today's domestic cars have made Chinese people witness a historic moment. Take BYD's high-end brand Yangwang as an example, the first model under the brand, "Yangwang U8", gave a price of 1.098 million yuan.
Of course, in addition to the price, the U8 also has surprises at the technical level, and as a full-size new energy SUV, the U8 also has a breakthrough in sales. Therefore, in order to feel the high-end luxury models made in China, we came to the direct store of the Yangwang brand some time ago and immersed ourselves in this car.
First of all, Yangwang U8 has a luxury version and an off-road player version, and the price of these two models is 1.098 million yuan, so there is no difference in price, but from the perspective of configuration and functionality, the gap between the two is indeed very large. For example, in terms of exterior design, the U8 Off-Road Player Edition gets 20-inch all-terrain AT tires, along with fixed footpegs, and new front and rear bumpers. In addition, the U8 off-road player version also supports the optional on-board drone and the drone parking compartment of the roof part. And from the perspective of objective parameters, the approach angle of the U8 off-road player version has been increased to 37.5°, and the departure angle has come to 38°, which will have better passability in off-road venues than the luxury version.
In terms of interior, the off-road player version of the U8 has added a light green and black double-pin interior style, which will be more refreshing and fashionable than the color of the luxury version of the model, which is in line with the current development trend of the car market. In addition, in terms of materials, the seats of the U8 Off-road Player Edition are designed with a mix of leather and suede, which will look younger and "fighting". However, in some comfort configurations, the Yangwang U8 does not come standard with second-row seat leg rest adjustment like the luxury version, as well as seat massage and a 22-speaker sound system with Dolby Atmos and Sky Channel sound effects.
However, in terms of powertrain, the U8 off-road player version is the same as the luxury version, equipped with a 2.0T range extender, as well as the power form of four front and rear motors, of which the total power of the four motors reaches 880kW (1197 hp), and it also has an acceleration performance of 3.9 seconds/3.6 seconds to break 100 seconds. In addition to the simple power, the two models provided by the U8 are equipped with Yi Sifang and Yunlin-P systems, which make it have the characteristic configuration of in-situ U-turn, emergency floating water and camping adjustment. Among them, the camping leveling function is to adjust the height of the four shock absorbers separately according to the current parking environment of the vehicle, so that the body is in a horizontal state, and can no longer be afraid of the harsh parking environment when camping outdoors.
In addition, in the process of test ride and test drive, it is also thanks to the addition of the Yunnan-P system, which also allows Yangwang U8, a hard off-road machine with a non-load-bearing body, to take into account good comfort and can control the pitching action of the body well. In addition, in terms of range, both the Yangwang U8 off-road player version and the luxury version are equipped with a battery pack with a capacity of 49.05kWh, of which the off-road player version is limited by the body structure and weight, so the car's pure electric range is reduced to 120 kilometers (CLTC), while the pure electric range of the luxury model is 180 kilometers (CLTC). Not only that, but when the vehicle is fully fueled, the U8 luxury version can have a comprehensive range of 1,000 kilometers (CLTC).
Editor's summary
Overall, for users who have strength and demand in this regard, Yangwang U8 is indeed a very good domestic high-end model. After a simple experience, you will not only be able to feel the luxury of looking up at the U8 from the surface materials, but also have its own unique charm in terms of functionality and technology. It is also worth mentioning that if you are a heavy off-road enthusiast, I personally think that looking up to the off-road player version of the U8 will be a more suitable choice; In the same way, if you just want to buy a million-level domestic luxury car, and the daily travel scene is mostly urban and high-speed, then choose the luxury version.
