BYD’s Rolls-Royce-like flagship EV is heading overseas

The new model will be BYD’s largest and most luxurious electric sedan, with coach doors and a shape similar to the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

BYD is better known for its low-cost electric cars, like the Seagull, a little hatchback that sells for under $10,000 in China.

The Chinese auto giant has greatly expanded its portfolio over the past few months and years. BYD now offers everything from entry-level EVs to three-row flagship SUVs, pickup trucks, electric supercars, and just about everything in between.

BYD has three sub-brands: Denza, FangChengBao, and Yangwang. It also has two main families under the BYD brand: the Dynasty and Ocean series.

Yangwang sits at the top of BYD’s brand hierarchy and showcases its latest breakthrough technologies.

Previously, Yangwang vehicles debuted on BYD’s quad-motor e4 platform, delivering a whopping 1,300 horsepower and featuring its DiSus-X intelligent body control system, which enables the vehicle to “dance,” jump, and drive on three wheels.

For its next model, BYD is pushing further into the elite segment to take on ultra-luxury brands like Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Mercedes-Maybach.

Yangwang general manager Hu Xiaoqing revealed several images of its new executive sedan testing last month.

Although it was disguised, it appeared to be about the same shape and size as the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class or Rolls-Royce Phantom. Local reports indicate it will be around 5,500 mm (216″) long.

HU confirmed for the first time this week that the global launch of the new flagship sedan will take place in the UAE, not in BYD’s home market of China.
