Yangwang Unveiled a New e⁴ Concept Car and Supercar Platform
BYD’s premium sub-brand Yangwang dazzled with the debut of its latest e⁴ concept car, supercar platform, and brought U8 and U9 to the auto show. The e⁴ concept car by Yangwang lacked traditional steering gear and braking mechanisms.

Earlier this year, Yangwang introduced the exclusive Yangwang Architecture for high-end new energy vehicles. The Supercar Platform under this architecture made its official debut, marking Yangwang’s transition from the wilderness to the racetrack with cutting-edge technology. At the exhibition, the interior of the Yangwang U9 was unveiled for the first time, showcasing a cockpit that exuded both technological sophistication and sportiness.

Additionally, it featured front double-wishbone and rear five-link independent suspension, along with the BYD DiSus Intelligent Body Control System. Currently, the Ocean Series boasts several popular models such as the Dolphin, Seal, establishing a robust Ocean Series IP. In the future, the Ocean Series would consolidate SUV models under the intellectual property of Sea Lion* and sedan models under the intellectual property of Seal.
