Yangwang U8 Review – The Most Powerful SUV

Introduction

The Yangwang U8 promises to be the most powerful SUV yet from the Chinese brand owned by BYD. This new SUV promises to offer the same sort of opulence and functionality as the Land Rover Defender and Mercedes G class. this vehicle may not be the 1st choice of brand on most people’s radar, but it offers the power, technology, and hopefully roadgoing ability of its nearest rivals.

In terms of power, there is one motor per wheel coming to a total power of 1184bhp. Each wheel can work independently, meaning for such a huge vehicle can turn on a dime and still keep going if there is a tyre blowout. The total power output equates to a 0-62 mph time of 3.6 seconds.

Design

Into the side, the Yangwang U8 is 5.3m long, taking up that bit more space than a Mercedes G class or Land Rover defender 130. the design is square box as you would expect, but there is plenty of modern luxuries inside to suit any user. You have two 23.6in display screens with a 12.8in central screen, and leather seating all around. Small rear screens for passengers are also available.

There’s plenty of rear legroom, along with a 1031-litre boot.

Technology

You won’t be short of parking cameras, along with a plethora of other technologies within the vehicle. with a starting price of roughly around £150,000, this model covers all the bases in terms of modern tech.

On the Road

This thing can go through water to 1m deep, and even has an emergency floatation system, but can only really be used once.
In reality, this is a range extender electric vehicle, meaning it makes use of a small petrol engine and is a plug-in hybrid. It definitely has plenty of power available, but how this translates to every type of terrain possible, we will see from future user feedback.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, the Yangwang U8 stands as a testament to automotive excellence, blending power, luxury, and innovation into a single remarkable package. From its formidable performance to its advanced technology and unmatched versatility, this SUV redefines the driving experience for the modern adventurer. Whether conquering off-road trails or navigating city streets, the U8 delivers an unparalleled combination of strength, style, and sophistication. So, if you’re in the market for the world’s most powerful SUV, look no further than the Yangwang U8 – where performance meets perfection.
