As BYD’s flagship brand to hit the high end, the instant success of Yangwang U8 has given the brand enough confidence to further explore the red ocean of the million-level market. So in the fiercely competitive sedan market, Yangwang has recently launched a new model – Yangwang U7, aiming to share a share of the mid-to-large luxury sedan market with traditional luxury brands such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Porsche Panamera.
In terms of appearance, the Yangwang U7 adopts the “Gateway of Time and Space” family language. The front face is slender and sharp, and the front hatch has slightly raised ribs, giving it a swooping momentum. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the new car incorporates interstellar headlights, which significantly enhance the front face recognition. Additionally, we observed that the roof of the new car features lidar, indicating its robust intelligent driving capabilities.
Viewed from the side, the new car adopts a fastback design, frameless doors and hidden door handles. In terms of wheels, the new car uses large-size dense-spoke wheels with the brand logo looking up in the center. The rear is also equipped with a perforated brake disc. It is expected that the new car will have strong performance and good braking effect in the future. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5265*1998*1517mm, and the wheelbase reaches 3160mm. In addition, due to the body flow control technology and the optimized design of multiple aerodynamic accessories, the drag coefficient of the Yangwang U7 is only 0.195Cd.
At the rear, the new car adopts the popular through-type taillight set, with dynamic lines and muscular rear wheel arches, making the rear look full of three-dimensionality.
The Yangwang U7 comes standard with BYD’s self-developed and self-produced carbon ceramic brake discs, coupled with Yi Sifang’s rapid electric braking capabilities, the 100-0km/h braking distance is <33 meters. Yi Sifang’s four-wheel independent torque vector control is the core technology of the Yangwang U7. Relying on Yi Sifang’s ultimate performance, the maximum power of a single motor is 240kW, the maximum power of the vehicle exceeds 1,300 horsepower, the peak torque of the four motors is approximately 1,584N·m, and the peak speed is 21,000 rpm. The maximum efficiency is 94.5%, and the fastest acceleration from 0-100km/h is 2.9 seconds.
At the same time, Yi Sifang’s distributed drive also allows the Yangwang U7 to control the torque of each wheel end in real time, allowing for more precise control in different scenarios. For example, when driving at high speed, when the main road enters the highway ramp, or when the road surface is slippery, Yi Sifang can quickly stabilize the body posture by controlling the torque of each wheel end in real time. The torque adjustment of each wheel end can be positive or negative.
Another example is that in extreme performance scenarios such as snow, Yi Sifang’s four wheels independently and instantaneously adjust wheel end torque and horsepower output to overcome changes in the adhesion coefficient on ice and snow slopes. Of course, functions such as in-situ U-turn, easy four-way parking, and lateral movement are not missing from the Yangwang U7. The Yangwang U7 has the capability to perform in-situ U-turns on high, medium, and low-adhesion roads, making it suitable for practical scenarios such as parking, exiting warehouses, and maneuvering on narrow roads. As for its hardware, the Yangwang U7 comes equipped with two NVIDIA Orin-X smart driving chips, delivering a total computing power of 508TOPS.In addition, the vehicle boasts 3 ultra-long-range lidars, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 13 high-definition cameras, and 12 ultrasonic radars, which provide advanced auxiliary capabilities for L2+ smart driving.
At present, there has been no announcement regarding the interior details of the Yangwang U7, but based on previously leaked spy photos, it can be inferred that the interior design style of the Yangwang U8 will be followed by the Yangwang U7, with additional improvements made to enhance its luxury car features.In terms of materials and functions There is no need to worry. In terms of power, according to the known information, the Yangwang U7 will continue to use lithium iron benzide blade batteries and the “Yi Sifang” platform, equipped with a four-motor system. The maximum power of a single motor is 326 horsepower, and the total power reaches a terrifying 1306 horsepower. . This also allows this big car weighing more than 3 tons to break through 100km/h in about 3 seconds and reach a top speed of 270km/h.
