On August 31, we obtained a set of patent drawings of BYD's new sedan from relevant channels, which are positioned as medium and large sedans, adopt the iconic design language of BYD, and are equipped with lidar and frameless doors. It is reported that the new car or named Yangwang U7, is planned to be launched early next year, and is expected to compete with Porsche Taycan, Tesla Model S and other models, the price may be 80-1 million yuan.
Specifically, the new car adopts the iconic family design of looking up, in which the design of the headlight groups on both sides is highly similar to the looking up U9 sports car, with a longer front design, and the bulge design of the front hatch and fender, so that the new car forms a downward pressure posture, with a high sense of sport and recognition.
At the same time, from the shape of the front hatch, it is expected to be a storage compartment with a large capacity, which means that the car will most likely use a pure electric power system. Moreover, the roof position of the car is also equipped with a watchtower-type lidar, indicating that it will have better driving assistance functions.
On the side, the new car adopts a sliding back design, and is equipped with hidden door handles, frameless doors, large-sized dense-spoke wheels, perforated brake discs, etc., while the overall slender design ratio is quite similar to the Porsche Panamera, adding a bit of sportiness to the new car.
In terms of the rear, the design of the new car is relatively simple, mainly equipped with a through-type tail light group design, but also with an electric spoiler, double-layer rear surround, etc., further adding to the sporty atmosphere of the car. In addition, from behind the roof, the new car will also be equipped with a large glass roof.
In fact, as early as June, the car's related spy photos have been exposed, according to the interior spy photos at that time, it adopts a similar design layout to the looking up U8, equipped with a full LCD dashboard, curved central control screen, co-driver entertainment screen, three-piece steering wheel, etc., and is equipped with a large number of touch buttons under the central control screen, creating a certain technological atmosphere for the car as a whole.
In terms of power, as the first sedan to look up to, it is expected to be equipped with the same Yifang platform technology as the U8/U9, providing four-wheel four-motor and equipped with lithium iron phosphate blade battery.
Previously, BYD's Equation Leopard brand was officially established and released the first model, the Leopard 5, which completed the layout from below 100,000 to one million for BYD. However, whether it is Denza , Equation Leopard or Yang, it is still a blank state in the field of cars, and the arrival of new cars can fill this gap to a certain extent. However, in terms of two rivals, Tesla Model S has excellent power performance and better technical performance; The Porsche Taycan has higher brand recognition, more model choices, and a more prominent luxury atmosphere. So in terms of new cars, in what aspects there will be advantages, so that it can stand out between the two, it is quite exciting.
The editor said: Since the release of the U8, it has always had a high degree of attention as a million-level SUV model, and now, the million-level BYD sedan is finally coming. At present, the new car still has a certain advantage, but the two competitive opponents, will indeed bring pressure to the new car, if the follow-up can set the price at about 800,000 yuan, and has a better product than the opponent, I believe that the sales are still considerable, after all, for this level of users, more important is in the differentiation. So, with a budget of 800,000, how will you choose?
