BYD’s new ultra-luxe EV has coach doors and may be its first with solid-state batteries

The flagship sedan will be among BYD’s most luxurious and advanced vehicles to date, with Rolls-Royce-like coach doors, 5-minute Flash Charging, and possibly solid-state batteries.

Yangwang is BYD’s highest-end brand with ultra-luxury models ranging from electric hypercars to extreme off-road SUVs.

BYD also uses Yangwang to showcase its breakthrough technologies. In the past, Yangwang vehicles have debuted with disruptive new tech, including BYD’s quad-motor e4 platform, second-generation Blade Batteries and Flash Charging, and its Disus Intelligent Body Control System.

A new Yangwang model was recently spotted testing in China that, according to local reports, will push the brand further into the elite segment.

New images of the vehicle surfaced online, revealing a nearly identical design to the Rolls-Royce Phantom. It will even be BYD’s first vehicle with rear-hinged coach doors.

Hu Xiaoqing, Yangwang’s general manager, shared a few images of the flagship sedan on Weibo and confirmed that the car’s name has yet to be finalized. Internally, BYD is calling it “HU” for now.

The new model is “the culmination of three years of meticulous development by Yangwang, featuring the brand’s signature design language, and is an ultra-luxury executive sedan.”

No other details were revealed, but one image shows the vehicle at BYD’s Flash Charging station, suggesting it can support megawatt fast charging.

According to local reports and CarNewsChina, Yangwang’s ultra-luxe sedan may be BYD’s first to use solid-state EV batteries.

es earlier this month that the company is “in the leading position” in solid-state battery tech and its commercialization.
