Yangwang U8. 2023 to date (prod. n/a). 5-door SUV. F/R/A, 49·05 kWh–1997 cm³ electric–petrol hybrid (I4 DOHC). Far more upscale than Fengchengbao. Plug-in hybrid system gave a combined power of 1,197 PS, transferred through four separate motors, one at each wheel. The individual-wheel-drive (IWD) traction control system could quickly redistribute torque to maintain stability. Lavish interior and useful range-extender system, but not the most driver-friendly, with poor handling and plenty of body roll. Still quick, with 100 km/h in just over 3 s.

Manufacturing location: Xi’an, Shaanxi, China

Marque: Yangwang
