JAKARTA - BYD continues to transform into the leader of electric vehicles in the world, even recently introducing the third production in the form of the luxury sedan Yangwang U7 which is predicted to be a competitor to luxury sedans from Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

It is known, Yangwang is a BYD division that was founded in early 2023, specifically for producing luxury cars by prioritizing design advantages to modern technology.

Meanwhile, the specifications from Yangwang U7 quoted from the CNevpost page, Tuesday, January 16, began to be revealed when applying for a permit at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology China (MIIT).

In the latest model catalog, there are two allowed variants of Yangwang U7, namely the QCJ7000BTBEV1 and QCJ7000BTBEV2 models, both of which are battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Both variants have identical core specifications, with differences in wheel hub lengths.

The dimensions of this electric sedan according to the document have a length of 5,265 mm, a width of 1,998 mm, and a height of 1,517 mm, with a wheelbase of 3,160 mm. The weight of this vehicle reaches 3,095 kilograms, and has the highest speed of up to 270 kilometers per hour.

BYD stated that Yangwang U7 is powered by four permanent magnetic synchronous motors, each with a peak power of 240 kW. The battery uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology produced by BYD battery division, FinDreams, and is expected to be a typical BYD blade battery.

Some other features include standard panoramic sunsets, power spoilers, LiDAR roofs, and equipment options such as digital rearview mirrors. While there is still limited information available, BYD claims that this model will become a flagship sedan in the new energy era, at a price of around 1 million yuan or around Rp. 2.1 billion, and more than 1,000 cellphones.

The presence of this luxury sedan is worth looking forward to, as a serious competitor to the European brand, which has long amazed sedan lovers.
