Yangwang, BYD's high-end luxury brand, has released an official teaser for its new flagship luxury sedan. The newly unveiled sedan is characterized by a majestic silhouette reminiscent of the Rolls-Royce Phantom and features BYD's first rear-hinged coach door. Notably, it is expected to be equipped with an all-solid-state battery, drawing significant attention.

Previously, this ultra-large sedan was spotted at BYD facilities and test tracks, and it belongs to a flagship lineup being developed alongside a luxury SUV competing with the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

The exterior design continues Yangwang's unique 'Ding' design theme, featuring a front fascia similar to the U8 and U8L SUVs. The headlamps incorporate multiple LED elements, with the 'Yangwang' logo intricately engraved. It is expected to be equipped with LiDAR units mounted on the roof and BYD's advanced driver-assistance system, 'DiPilot 600'.

Notably, this new flagship sedanis highly likely to become the first Yangwang vehicle within the BYD Group to be equipped with an all-solid-state battery (SSB). Stella Li, Executive Vice President, has already formalized plans to launch vehicles with all-solid-state batteries by 2027. Given its high price point and flagship positioning, this sedan is being cited as a pioneer in all-solid-state technology. Images of test vehicles parked in front of flash charging stations have also raised the possibility of support for megawatt-level fast charging.

Regarding powertrain configuration, trims equipped with all-solid-state batteries will be supplied at high prices and in limited quantities, while standard trims will be sold concurrently with BYD's LFP 'Blade Battery 2.0'. This aligns with the roadmap of Liang Yubo, BYD's Chief Scientist, who stated that liquid lithium-ion batteries and all-solid-state systems will coexist for the next 15 to 20 years. Yangwang has previously served as a testbed for showcasing the brand's innovative technologies, such as the U8 SUV and U9 supercar based on the e4 quad-motor platform.
