The Chinese company BYD has unveiled the "Yangwang Altior," a super-luxurious electric sedan designed to compete with the "Rolls-Royce Ghost" and "Mercedes-Maybach" models. The car's presentation took place in Abu Dhabi. The new model features four electric motors—one for each wheel—allowing it to rotate on the spot like a tank.
It is also equipped with a flood survival system designed to ensure passenger safety in case the vehicle ends up in water. According to BYD, the "Yangwang Altior" can travel more than 1000 km on a single charge, measured by the CLTC cycle. With megawatt-power fast charging stations, replenishing the battery charge from 10 to 70 percent will take only 5 minutes.
The starting sales price for the car is about $311,000. Deliveries are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2027. BYD's "Yangwang" brand is currently available in China and the United Arab Emirates, with plans to enter the European market next year, starting with the United Kingdom.
