The U9 was developed by German car designer Wolfgang Egger, who previously served as a head designer for Alfa Romeo, Audi and Lamborghini and began working for BYD since 2017.

The U9 was first introduced on 6 April 2023. Sales of the car began on 18 April in China along with the Yangwang U8.[1] The current price tag in Mainland China is around 1 million yuan.[2]

Specifications

The Yangwang U9 is equipped with a 820 kW (1,100 hp) electric powerplant with a maximum range of 700 km (430 mi) on the China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC),[3] with a reported 0-100 kph acceleration under 2 seconds.[4][5] Like the U8, the U9 features BYD's proprietary "e4" (易四方) individual wheel drive system, which enables the vehicle to redistribute torque among the four wheels in case of traction loss or a tyre puncture at speed; and the "DiSus" (云辇) active suspension system, which allows the wheels' ground clearance to be readjusted individually and even to perform a brief vertical jump.
