The Yangwang U7 has quickly become one of the most attention grabbing electric models since its debut. As part of BYD’s premium sub brand, this engineering marvel offers a distinct driving experience that fuses raw performance, smart technology, and refined luxury, all starting at an accessible price of 316,000 AED. With its impressive balance of power and value, the U7 confidently challenges far more expensive European and Japanese rivals in the luxury sedan space.

Supercar Level Power with an Executive Look

The Yangwang U7 delivers a thrilling performance thanks to its four electric motors generating a combined 1287 horsepower and a staggering 1680 Nm of torque. This setup propels the sedan from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 269 km/h. Despite its executive design and spacious comfort, the U7 packs supercar capabilities into a sleek sedan silhouette.

Even with a hefty curb weight of nearly 3.1 tons, the U7 offers a generous electric range of up to 719 km, courtesy of a 135.5 kWh battery. Enhancing its road manners is the advanced DiSus-Z suspension system, which adjusts ride height with precision and adapts to challenges like a sudden loss of tire pressure. The rear wheel steering system boosts handling agility, while the highly advanced “God’s Eye” autonomous driving suite, featuring 33 onboard sensors, adds an extra layer of safety and driver confidence in diverse driving conditions.

A High Tech Haven of Smart Comfort

Step inside the Yangwang U7, and the cabin instantly reflects its smart luxury philosophy. Rich red Nappa leather envelops the seats and doors, paired with customizable ambient lighting that adds a personal touch to the interior mood. At the front, drivers are greeted by a 23.6 inch digital display paired with a 12.8 inch central touchscreen and a 6 inch passenger side screen.

Rear passengers are treated to an upscale entertainment setup that includes two 12.8 inch screens built into the front seatbacks, foldable tray tables, and a compact built in refrigerator. Comfort features in the front seats include heating, ventilation, massage functions, and 20 way power adjustments, while the rear seats feature smart armrests that respond to body temperature. Completing the in cabin experience is a 23 speaker surround sound system that delivers cinema level audio immersion.

Dual Powertrains for Flexible GCC Driving Needs

Yangwang offers the U7 in two versions to suit various driving preferences across the GCC region. The fully electric model promises zero emission performance with futuristic efficiency. Meanwhile, the plug in hybrid version combines powerful electric motors with a compact 2.0 liter turbocharged gasoline engine that functions as a generator to extend the vehicle’s range.

The hybrid model features a 52.4 kWh battery, offering a pure electric range of 200 km. When the gasoline engine kicks in, the total driving range extends to a remarkable 1000 km, ideal for long distance travel across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, or Oman. With ultra fast charging support of up to 500 kW, the U7 can be recharged quickly, making it a practical solution for both urban commutes and highway journeys.
