The Yangwang U7 luxury electric sedan has been announced by BYD as an advanced transportation solution that will greatly elevate the capabilities of drivers. The sedan is equipped with a four-motor drivetrain that will pump out 1,306-horsepower along with 1,240lb-ft of torque with the ability to go from zero to 60mph in 2.9-seconds and offer a 167mph top speed. The vehicle puts the DiSus-Z suspension system in the spotlight that will actively prevent bumps in the road from causing a disturbance, while the God's Eye LiDAR sensor will actually preemptively detect obstacles.
The Yangwang U7 luxury electric sedan is priced at 628,000 RMB (~$86,430) to position it as a very competitive model that doesn't skimp on features drivers won't find on any other car out there.
