BYD made an SUV that can double as a boat for a short dip! Waterproof magic, folks!

On September 20th, China witnessed the debut of the YangWang U8 EREV SUV, a remarkable vehicle equipped with all-wheel drive powered by four electric motors, boasting a combined output of 880 kW (1,197 horsepower). The U8 showcases extraordinary capabilities, including a 360° tank turn, the ability to wade through water, and even float in emergency situations.

 

YangWang belongs to BYD’s premium brand category, and it introduced the U8 in two distinct versions: the Premium Edition, which commenced presales today and will start deliveries in October, and the Off-road Master Edition, set to enter the market later. The Off-road Master Edition comes with added off-road features, such as a robust front bumper extending for collision protection in rugged terrain, a snorkel, and a detachable roof rack with a handy side ladder.

Also doesn’t it look a little familiar. A British SUV maybe hmmm…..
