High-end electric sedan aims to rival Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz and BMW
Quad-motor platform and solid-state battery tech rumored
Flagship model is due to be unveiled in Dubai in November
Chinese EV maker BYD has been teasing a number of photos in the lead up to the launch of one of its most luxurious and technologically accomplished model to date. It is understood that BYD’s luxury sub-brand, Yangwang, will be the badge on the hood of the upcoming vehicle, codenamed “Project Hu” that, even in its extensive camouflage, can easily be recognized as a Rolls-Royce or BMW i7 rival. Yangwang general manager Hu Xiaoqing revealed photos of the vehicle earlier this month, while China’s ThinkerCar X account also posted videos suggesting it’s undergoing final testing. The long, luxurious electric sedan is tipped to feature massive coach doors, which are rear-hinged to make it much easier to clamber in and out, while the predicted 5. 5m length is large enough to see it go toe-to-toe with the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and the Huawei/JAC-built Maextro S800, according to CarNewsChina . There is no confirmation on the powertrain that will underpin the model, but speculation suggests it will pack Yangwang’s quad-motor architecture and DiSus active suspension. #BYD Yangwang ultra-luxury executive sedan https://t…
