Spy shots of Yangwang's upcoming executive sedan have surfaced online, reportedly measuring 5.4-5.5 meters in length, similar to the Maybach S-Class. The new model adopts a completely different design language from the Yangwang U7, with square-shaped front and rear styling and sharp character lines for a commanding executive presence. Spy shots reveal coach doors. Yangwang general manager Hu Xiaoqing previously stated that each Yangwang product should have its own character, debuting forward-looking new technologies.

Pure electric BMW M3 spy shots have surfaced, showing the test car replicating the ICE M3's signature drift cornering posture, countering concerns about "pure EVs losing driving fun." A Xiaomi SU7 Ultra was also spotted following throughout the test.

It features a quad-motor AWD system with switchable RWD/AWD modes and advanced torque vectoring for precise four-wheel power distribution. Reference specs: front axle 480kW/653hp/540Nm, rear axle 560kW/762hp/1,020Nm, combined over 1,000kW, with 100kWh+ battery and 800V platform.
