- The second row is equipped with two executive seats and dual control screens.
On July 14, BYD unveiled the interior design of the Yangwang U8L, the latest addition to its premium sub-brand, confirming the model’s official launch in the second half of 2025.
Positioned as a full-size extended-range luxury SUV, the U8L is an extended version of the U8, featuring a longer wheelbase of 3,250 mm and overall dimensions of 5,400/2,049/1,921 mm.
According to the released details, the U8L adopts a three-row layout, with the second row offering two independent executive seats equipped with individual control screens, enhancing passenger comfort and privacy. The cabin features a brown-dominated color scheme, complemented by zero-gravity seating, fold-out tray tables, and a ceiling-mounted display, underscoring its suitability for both business and family use.
The U8L retains the signature styling cues of the U8, with a matrix-style front light design inspired by the ancient Chinese “Ding” vessel, paired with a dotted grille for strong visual identity. The exterior is finished in an obsidian black and solar gold dual-tone colorway—drawing inspiration from the traditional Chinese lacquer-gold technique—and adorned with an oracle bone script badge crafted from 24K gold, highlighting cultural sophistication and brand positioning.
Underpinning the U8L is BYD’s advanced e⁴ platform, which enables independent torque control for all four wheels. This supports off-road capabilities like tank turns and emergency floatation. The SUV also integrates BYD’s DiSus-P intelligent hydraulic body control system and the “Dipilot 600 (also known as ‘God’s Eye-A’)” triple-lidar intelligent driving suite, offering assisted driving across urban and highway scenarios.
Powering the U8L is a 2.0T range extender paired with a quad-motor system that delivers a combined output of 880 kW and 1,280 Nm of torque, ensuring robust performance across varied terrain.
As China’s first off-roader NEV priced above RMB 1 million ($140,000), the original U8 has drawn significant attention since its launch. In the first half of 2025, it recorded cumulative sales of 759 units—modest in volume but notable within the high-end NEV off-road segment. The arrival of the U8L is expected to broaden Yangwang’s product lineup, attract more family and business-oriented buyers, and strengthen its foothold in the ultra-premium market.
