BYD has unveiled the Yangwang Altior, a fully electric luxury limousine measuring 5.60 meters in length. The vehicle is built on the proprietary e4 platform, featuring four independently controlled electric motors. This configuration allows for advanced stability control, including torque adjustment over 100 times per second and the ability to perform a tank turn.
The limousine incorporates the DiSus active body control system and the God’s Eye A navigation suite. It utilizes a 1,000-volt architecture compatible with BYD’s Flash-Charging technology. While official performance figures are pending, the powertrain is expected to deliver up to 960 kW, supported by a second-generation Blade Battery offering a range of 1,000 km under the CLTC cycle.
Pre-sales for the 399-unit Shanhe Dingyun Limited Edition have commenced in China, with prices starting at approximately ¥2.1 million, or about €280,000. The global debut took place in Abu Dhabi, targeting the Middle Eastern market. BYD has not confirmed plans for a European release for the model, which is known as the Dingyao in its home market.
The interior is configured as a four-seater lounge featuring Zero-Gravity rear seats with massage functions and 1.2 meters of legroom. Cabin amenities include a 21.4-inch retractable ceiling monitor, a 39-speaker Dynaudio sound system, and a 5.5-liter temperature-controlled console compartment. The vehicle also features electrically operated doors and a 532-liter boot capacity.
