BYD is planning to refresh its luxury Yangwang U7 sedan, which comes in fully-electric and PHEV variants. Regulatory filings reveal the updated BEV version sports a massive 150 kWh LFP battery and 17.7 kWh per 62 miles consumption.
The Yangwang U7 EV model year 2026 will be offered in two powertrain versions – 1,287 hp and 1,341 hp, both of which will adopt the 150-kWh LFP battery. That’s a significant upgrade over the previous 135 kWh battery.
According to CLTC, the top-tier variant’s range on a single charge is 534 miles, while the regular 1,287-hp iteration can run 625 miles before requiring a recharge. The documents also reveal an impressive 17.7 kWh per 100 km consumption, a 10% improvement over the previous Yangwang U7 generation with the 135 kWh pack. What makes it even more impressive is the fact that the newer version is 220 lb heavier.
The car is expected to hit the market very soon, likely in the next few months.
