The Yangwang U7 (Chinese: 仰望U7) is a full-size luxury sedan manufactured by BYD Auto under the Yangwang brand. It will be available with plug-in hybrid and battery electric powertrain options.

Overview

The Yangwang U7 was officially unveiled as a BEV in January 2024.[3] Pre-sales started in November 2024 at Auto Guangzhou 2024.[4] In January 2025, the PHEV version was leaked through China's MIIT documents.[5] It was shown to be completely re-engineered on a new platform, with different dimensions and a different body. In March 2025, both versions of the Yangwang U7 went on sale in China.[6] Deliveries started in June 2025.[7]

Specifications

The U7 is equipped with BYD's "e4" (易四方) individual wheel drive (IWD) system with four-wheel steering, which consists of four electric motors, each with a maximum power of 321 hp (239 kW; 325 PS) for a total of 1,287 hp (960 kW; 1,305 PS) and 1,680 N⋅m (1,239 lb⋅ft) of torque. It has 20 degrees of rear-wheel steering, allowing for a 4.85-metre (15.9 ft) turning radius.[8]

It has a drag coefficient of 0.195 Cd, and a top speed of 270 km/h (168 mph).[9]

It is also equipped with BYD's DiSus-Z (云辇-Z) active suspension technology. This system has a response speed of only 10 ms and is also equipped with an energy recovery device that can charge the battery through the suspension motor.[10]

The dashboard features a 23.6-inch digital instrument panel display supplemented by an AR-HUD, a curved 12.8-inch OLED infotainment touchscreen, and a 6-inch passenger information display, all running the DiLink 150 cockpit system on a DiLink 4nm chip. The rear passengers have access to 12.8-inch entertainment displays and control panel display. The front seats have heating, ventilation, and massaging functions along with 20-way power adjustment.[8]

The U7 also comes with BYD's God's Eye A advanced intelligent driving assistance as part of its DiPilot 700 system, boasting 3 RoboSense LiDAR units, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 13 cameras, and two Nvidia Orin X SoCs outputting 508 TOPS.[11][8]

The U7 PHEV is equipped with BYD's self-developed 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four engine, whose configuration was chosen to lower the vehicle's center of gravity compared to a conventional inline engine. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds, or 4.1 seconds when the battery is low. It has a comprehensive range of 1,000 kilometres (620 mi), and a CLTC pure electric range of 200 kilometres (124 mi).

The U7 EV is equipped with BYD's blade battery with a battery capacity of 135.5 kWh, and its CLTC pure electric range is 720 kilometres (447 mi). Due to its large capacity and LFP cell chemistry, the battery pack weighs 903 kilograms (1,991 lb), contributing to the Y7's 3,095 kilograms (6,823 lb) curb weight.[12]

Shooting brake version

In August 2025 the design for a shooting brake version of the U7 (unofficially known as the U7 GT) was spotted for the first time in the form of a low-camouflaged prototype.[13]
