BYD's premium brand Yangwang will begin pre-sales of its first model on the first day of the Shanghai auto show, after the model was officially unveiled in January.
Pre-sales of the Yangwang U8, which will redefine hardcore off-roading, will begin on April 18, Yangwang said on Weibo today.
"See you in Shanghai on April 18," Yangwang said, hinting that the U8 will be on display at the upcoming Shanghai auto show.
The Shanghai auto show will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center from April 18-27, with media days from April 18-19 and professional visitor days from April 20-21, while the general public can enter from April 22-27.
BYD's booth is 7A06 at Hall 7.1 and Yangwang is at 8A05 at Hall 8.1. On April 7, Yangwang said the U9 electric supercar will be on display at the Shanghai auto show.
BYD officially launched the Yangwang brand on January 5, along with the first two models -- Yangwang U8 and Yangwang U9.
The U8, the first production model of the Yangwang brand, is a hardcore off-road SUV that is more than 5 meters long and 2 meters wide.
The model is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds and will be priced at RMB 1 million ($146,000) level.
The Yangwang U8 has the performance, safety and reliability of a hardcore off-road SUV, with intelligent extrication and emergency avoidance capabilities in complex road conditions, along with technology and intelligence, BYD previously said.
The Yangwang U9, on the other hand, is a supercar that will also be priced at the RMB 1 million level, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds.
BYD announced the Yangwang brand along with a technology platform called e⁴, which it said was the first mass-produced four-motor independent drive technology platform. Both the U8 and U9 will be equipped with e⁴ technology.
On April 10, BYD officially unveiled its intelligent body control system called DiSus in Shenzhen, which is another technological breakthrough after its DM super hybrid technology, e-Platform 3.0, Blade Battery and e⁴ platform.
The BYD DiSus system is divided into three branches, including the Intelligent Damping Body Control System (DiSus-C), the Intelligent Air Body Control System (DiSus-A), and the Intelligent Hydraulic Body Control System (DiSus-P).
DiSus-P, which has a suspension adjustment travel of up to 200 mm and can lift all four wheels simultaneously as well as independently for a single wheel, will first be equipped on the Yangwang U8.

Shanghai auto show: Complete map about exhibitors’ booths
NIO, XPeng, and Li Auto's booths were all in Hall 6.1, BYD was in Hall 7.1, and Tesla is absent.
The organizers of the upcoming Auto Shanghai 2023, which will start on April 18, have announced the booth locations of all exhibitors.
We start this post with a table showing the booth locations of the major car companies and follow it with a full floor plan of the halls.
Specifically, NIO's booth is 6A01 in Hall 6.1, XPeng is 6A08 in Hall 6.1, and Li Auto is 6A04 in Hall 6.1.
BYD is at 7A06 in Hall 7.1, and its Yangwang brand is at 8A05 in Hall 8.1.
The absence of Tesla in these maps means it will not be at the Shanghai auto show.
Tesla attended the last Shanghai auto show two years ago, but entered the spotlight then because of a female owner's protest on the roof of a car. Since then, Tesla has not participated in any auto shows in China.
The Shanghai auto show will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center from April 18 - 27, where April 18 - 19 will be the media days, April 20 - 21 will be the professional visitors' days, and the general public will be able to enter and visit from April 22 - 27.
