Launched in February 2024 at 1.68 million yuan, the U9 features the “Time Gate” design with C-shaped lighting, bold lines, and a rear light bar with a carbon-fiber spoiler. Customization includes carbon-fiber wings and multicolor calipers, paired with 21-inch wheels (275/35 front, 325/30 rear).
The interior uses carbon fiber and Alcantara in a symmetrical layout with screens for driver and passenger, plus a central infotainment display. Four motors deliver 1,680 Nm torque, over 1,300 PS, and a 0-100 km/h sprint in 2.36 seconds, with a top speed of 309.19 km/h.
The U9’s 80 kWh battery offers a 450 km range, with fast charging from 30% to 80% in 10 minutes. The car’s achievements highlight BYD’s leadership in luxury electric vehicles, advancing sustainable transportation.
