Although the Yanguang U8 is difficult to sell in Europe due to the license required to drive it, BYD is keen to showcase the incredible capabilities of this SUV. In addition to his amazing off-road performances, the video clearly shows his amazing talent in dealing with aquatic environments: In fact, this SUV can swim.

In addition to the Yangwang U8, the protagonist of this demonstration, BYD also presented the Yangwang U9, a supercar capable of accelerating faster than the Bugatti Chiron.

The Yangwang U8 SUV, however, represents a completely different entity from the aforementioned sports sedan. With a 1,180 horsepower, this car has the ability to cross water up to a depth of 1.4 meters and “travel” (yes, in water) at a speed of 2.9 km / h. In addition, this SUV can rotate 360 ​​degrees and perform a crab walk, as we saw with the Hummer EV.

This configuration provides a combined output (as stated) of 1,180 horsepower and freedom of 1,000 kmthus providing an attractive balance between performance and practicality.

The dimensions of the U8 are comparable to those of the BMW X7, with an overall length of 5.3 meters. However, Product vehicle weight 3,460 kgit is greatly influenced by the presence of advanced technologies, including lidar, radar and cameras necessary for the L2 autonomous operating system, as well as the presence of batteries.
