BYD's luxury sub brand, Yangwang, has revealed the long-wheelbase version of the U8 SUV at Auto Shanghai 2025, and it comes in a 6-seat configuration.
The Yangwang U8 LWB is 5,300 mm long, having a wheelbase of 3,250 mm. This makes it 75 mm longer, while its wheelbase has increased by 200 mm over the standard model.
Exclusive to the U8 LWB is a two-tone black and gold colour option and a dark finish on some elements like the D-pillar and front bumper. It also misses out on the rear spare wheel that's provided on the standard model.
Although its interior images haven't been released, it is expected to share the same dashboard layout as the standard model, although with a different cabin theme.
It gets some unique features such as tank-turn option, emergency water flotation, and a tyre blowout stability feature. It also has what BYD calls "God's Eye' ADAS.
BYD hasn't disclosed the powertrain details of the U8 LWB, but it's expected to have the same setup as the regular U8, which gets a range-extender electric powertrain with the on-board petrol engine used as a generator to develop electricity. It features electric motors at wach wheel giving the SUV a total output of over 1,100 bhp.
