Nowadays, when it comes to domestic cars, words such as "cheap" and "shoddy" can not be opened as before, because with the improvement of technology and technology, domestic cars are not only comparable in quality to joint venture luxury brand cars, but also in terms of quality. First, there is an ideal to occupy the 300,000-level price market, and then there is a question to advance into the 600,000-level price market, and even the million-level price market, there are also domestic cars involved.
Looking up to the U8, is the first domestic passenger car to gain a foothold in the million-level price market, the latest data shows that the U8 sold a total of 1,593 units in December last year. You must know that even BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS, which have their own "halo" players, only sell more than 1,000 units a month.
Recently, Yangwang Automobile released a new model on the official Weibo - Yangwang U7, which is positioned as a million-level new energy flagship sedan. Obviously, BYD is about to start grabbing the market for BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. So, can BYD get its wish?
At present, it is not easy to draw conclusions, because the product information is limited, according to the official introduction, looking upU7 adopts the "door of time and space" family design language, in fact, it is a copy of the front face of looking upu9. The bulging muscle thread on the hood is matched with a chic headlight cluster, which has a better visual effect and a strong sense of sportiness.
Looking up, you can see that the Yangwang U7 is equipped with lidar hardware, and combined with the "Angel Eye" intelligent driving demonstration released by BYD between them, it is expected that the new car will perform well in intelligent driving.
Visually turned to the side, looking up at the U7, although it is positioned as a passenger car, it still has a lot of aerodynamic design like the U9, such as the air duct on the side of the front fender, and the smooth lines and so on. In addition, the Yangwang U7 also uses hidden door handles and large-size wheels that are common in new energy vehicles. However, the shape of the wheels chosen for the U7 is not closed, but shaped like Mercedes-Benz's iconic starfish wheels.
In addition, the U7 also uses a lot of sporty design elements at the rear, such as a thick and exaggerated rear surround, which also has a faint carbon fiber figure on it. Above is a continuous taillight panel with the brand logo. In terms of styling alone, looking up at the U7 is indeed more individualized in our opinion, and it is more eye-catching than the A8 and S-class.
Regarding the interior, the official has not made any information disclosure at present, but it is not difficult to guess that it is a copy of the U8, after all, it is a family. Of course, looking up at the U7 as a sedan, the entire central control layout and steering wheel size should be one size smaller than the U8.
Talking back to looking up at U7, this time the official also talked about its power system, or the "Yi Sifang" four-wheel electric drive, with more than 1,000 horsepower. For reference, the Yangwang U8, which is also equipped with the "Yi Sifang" four-motor technology, has a maximum power of 880kW, a maximum torque of 1280N·m, and a 0-100 acceleration time of only 36 seconds. As a sedan, if the U7 adopts the same power configuration, its zero hundred results should be better.
In fact, you can also see that this time the official announcement of looking up to U7 actually has no special technical highlights, if you have to look forward to one, that is, looking up to U9 that can "dance" The chassis can be mounted on U7 simultaneously? However, having said that, referring to the luxury configuration on the U8, the U7 will most likely not disappoint, and this is also the confidence of its competition for the BMW 7 Series, Audi A8 and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
