They should definitely put that in the brochure! 😂
@@DavidKnowles0Hey! It could even go viral!😂😂
60 years ago, people laughed at Japanese cars, and just 20 years ago, people laughed at Korean cars.
Im still not a fan of genesis, but Kia has come a long way
They dont laugh now on Chines cars ,that is why you have 100% tarrifis in USA AND 50% in EU .
China will do to the car industry what Japan and Korea did combined, multiplied by 50.
@@dzonikg YangWang? I'm laughing my ass off because no English speaker will ever buy it with such a weenie name, even without tariffs.
I think you missed the elephant in the room here which is 50 years ago, everyone outside of North America laughed at American cars and 50 years later the laughter hasn’t stopped while we no longer laugh at Japanese, Korean and Chinese cars. Let’s be fair here
Companies moaning that china is copying them but hang on a minute why are these companies charging us over the top for rubbish cars like land rover and audi, this change is needed and china needs applauding for this feat.
Thanks for your praise. We the Chinese, like people in the rest of the world already fed up with the high price monopolies. People need products which are cheap and durable.
@@user-jp2tf5fj5k absolutely, i wish the mainstream news would focus on this obvious fact that china are actually offering much better for much cheaper, this is a good very, a very good thing from china, things like this will help people finally come to trust china more than they did before. !
As long as China produces cars with wheels, it is a copy. If the Chinese put a shoe on a car, I can consider not calling China copy cat, but still won't call it an innovation
@@kirk2632 shut up kirk, as if you have even the slightest clue about the intricacies of automotive manufacturing and innovation, you have a tiny surface level knowledge and a big, stupid, uneducated opinion to go with it. sit and listen instead of giving your garbage opinion and you might learn a thing or two. what a moron.
BYD is so far ahead of the competitions it is mind boggling.
Is this the part where we are gong to be denied better products due to tariffs or outright bans in EU to "protect" traditional manufacturers who did nothing in the past 10 years? Pretty sure this is the part!
The UK protected its car industry after WW2 and sold crap cars to the captive empire.
The Germans had to make actually good cars to sell them.
VW Golf vs the Austin Allegro? 😮
I think so. Glad I live in an African country, and SA specifically. Once our grid is sorted out and we get more EV's, we'd definitely be getting a lot of Chinese imports. We already have a lot of ICE vehicles from China, and they're just so much better than the European stuff.
european manufacturers indeed did something, during a crisis they increased the prices instead of decreasing and when the crisis was over they just stick to the prices ,-)
@@TD1237 lol yea, i would not count on sorting the grid out. i would invest in a nice land crouser. maybe with some bullet proof glass...
Hasn't it already been doing with green energy products, 5G network etc from China? Dear.
This is what happens when you employ over 100,000 engineers. The pace of new vehicle design and new tech discoveries is off the charts.
Then again VW had that number of software engineers and completely messed it up.
in eurpo they hire 100.000 managers instead ... hahaha
@@AlanTov what happened when u don't have a solid IT industry
Thats what happens when idiot westeners destroy ICE engines and then get overtaken by the chinese who just copy/paste EV skateboards
And yet they quite clearly look like what already exists. Ie; a Defender
Doesn’t matter how many times I see it, it never ceases to amaze me the revolution the Chinese car industry is making in the world!

The U8 has an optional drone that sits inside a hidden rooftop compartment which you can use to scout the road ahead or find a way out if you're lost in a dense forest or in the middle of nowhere and Navi can't seem to guide your way out; or detour around a bad or potential road hazard and whatnot.

OK so I have a interesting navigation story. Years ago I was doing a job at a facility that was rated as a military secret site. Officially it just wasn't there, and a huge area around it was deleted from things like Google maps and other services. When I drove there I had to set the GPS to the address of the entry point as nothing else was listed, and even then it wanted me to drive over a huge wheat field. Well imagine my surprise when I was to leave and on the parking in this secret facility told the GPS to take me home. Suddenly I got instructions to drive through the test firing field following temporary roads they used when accessing different areas they used when test shooting weapons. It turned out that these roads were in the GPS navigators map data, but no dresses or names for anything including a rather large lake were mentioned. I still drove the "correct" way out of there passing the guard station.
I still wouldn't have minded having a drone I could send mapping out that alternative road that the GPS thought would be nice...

A mere forty years ago most Chinese citizens were still riding bicycles...
Crazy stuff
Yeah, now they threaten global auto industry with their super cars and monster SUVs.
Today still a lot of people ride bicycles in the cities, mostly shared bikes.
Well 40 years ago Chinese were already making reliable hydrogen bombs and intercontinental missiles even after Soviets cut off tech support completely.
They were able to make tractors tanks even jet engines for smaller aircrafts.
Their literacy rate was already close to 90%.
It was poor, but it was by no mean lacking behind beyond hope.
They still make alot of crap though
I am a 37 year old resident of a small city in China. Taking myself as an example, I would like to describe the development speed of China in recent years. I was born in 1987 in a rural area of Shandong Province, China (a relatively developed region). Around 1990, my family had their first black and white television set; In 1993, my family had a run down tractor; In 1997, my family installed a landline telephone; In 1998, my family purchased an agricultural tricycle (approximately $500); In 2008, I graduated from college and my family only had one second-hand motorcycle left. Since 2008, the Chinese economy has developed rapidly! In 2010, I bought my first house in the city for $40000. In 2011, my family bought our first car for $20000. In 2014, my family bought their second car for $20000. In 2017, my family bought a second home for $80000. In 2020, my family bought their third car for $20000. In 2022, my family bought my third home for $90000.
I am a Chinese citizen living in a fifth tier city.
For the people by the people of the people.
interesting insight, thanks for sharing.
would be useful to know what is your degree/job/field of work, and if you are the only breadwinner in the family.
would give better socio-economic context to your story
Hard work always pays. Chinese people (Asians in general) are hard working people.
those data points are interesting. But midway you're are switching "units": from technological (B&W TV, telephone, etc..) to dollars ($) ... Dollars mean nothing intrinsically (without revenues comparisons)
Make me wonder how possible it is for your comment to be here on youtube since AFAIK it was strictly prohibited to do so by the government itself unless they are allowed you to do so or currently you are not living in China
As much as the name Yang Wang may sound funny to Westerner, it is actually quite meaningful. It means "Look Up (to something or someone).
True
It's the way they pronounce it makes it even worse, Yangwang sounds great in Mandrian and is meaningful in Chinese characters.
In the Chinese context, 仰望（yang wang） not only means looking upward, but also means worship.
I want affordable BYD cars in North America. Fuck tarrifs. Fuck the greedy governments. Consumers are getting screwed.
You don't think it's anything to do with US automotive trying to protect its home market then. You'll get there soon I'm sure hopefully.
Move to China
Ignorant consumers are getting protected you mean... pfff.
"Greedy goverments" while talking about Chinese cars haha.
@@Bobwa2008or stay backwards 😂
They're Chinese market cars only because they don't spend the money to achieve the safety standards Western markets demand. Keep them in China. Thanks.
Chinese car brands don't have to worry about their board buying $6 billion worth of stock buy backs for quick money grab for execs. Instead, they just hire tens of thousands engineers for RND.
wrong info, BYD is on stock market
@@GForce162 did they say they weren't? Being on the stock market doesn't mean stock buybacks will happen. Remember stock buybacks were literally illegal in the US at one point in time.

*SEC filings.
It's incredible... The level of propaganda here.
BYD should never leave the Chinese market. When the chickens come to roost, the CCP won't help silence all the safety and reliability accidents on the real internet
Another Musk hater to stupid to look at the bigger picture/facts!
BYD is very big in Egypt. We have a lot of their cars here. These new electric ones are so nice. My friend has one and its the nuts. Seriously thinking about getting an electric car from BYD!!!
That's good to hear. We're also starting to get them here in South Africa. We would have gotten them sooner if our electricity grid was up to scratch. But I'm excited for the future. We have tons of Chinese ICE cars and they're incredible.
Never heard of BYD being a thing popular in egypt tbh, but they're quite common & very popular here in Saudi arabia, there is around 40+ BYD dealerships here & counting
Soon the chinese will buy out all of Egypt 😂 You will regret allowing them to take over your market.
I bet there's a lot of Chinese bots propagating their tech. The truth can be found in countries like Sri Lanka. They sold out to China and now their economy is fu**ed.
good luck with that, these cars are know for burning out of nowhere, china quality control isnt good
@@cataca91cia western bot spotted😂😂😂
This is how BYD will conquer Europe. A supercar that’s looks unbelievable for 1/6th the price of comparable European supercars and a huge 4x4 with incredible capabilities for probably half the cost of a similar Range Rover or RR Cullinan.
more like 1/10th of price
ngl i would buy that car in a carbeat at that price if they brought it here to the states. no wonder we imposed heavy tariffs. this company would destroy the EV and automobile market in the US at their prices
If that's how you feel look up any electric BYD cars in china condolence if you actually decide to buy one.
And they cheat on production costs with huge subsidies, and for example, using software for which no loyalties are paid.
Try to find a legal version of Windows... good luck.
Europe put Tariffs on Chinese cars. so trust me this car will be expensive in europe if they even allow it to be exported to Europe. i know we have BJD dealerships in europe though my country got a couple. but i dont know if they allow cars like this in europe.
I've been manufacturing in China for years. Nothing remotely as complex as a car, but I had my first ride in an EV taxi in China 15 years ago, I saw EV police cars, garbage trucks, delivery vehicles, busses LONG before they were even talked about in the west.

It's staggering how far China's come in recent years. Makes me wonder what Western makers could have achieved if they'd focused on producing EVs instead of 20 years of concept cars, compliance cars, and fighting clean car legislation.
turning v8's into v6's XD
Yes Very true, This is why UK is having it's new Double Decker Electric London Busses made in China by BYD, each bus will Cost £100,000 less Each to make.
Your clean batteries are made of cobalt mined by child slave labour, of course China has come far when they don't care.
@@kenbehrens5778 sorry probably not.
my dream car is BMW m5. but the price in China is ridiculous (1.5m RMB which is about 200k USD).
indeed the V8 engine is fascinating, but the price is just so crazy. specially when I learn in western country it normally just cost around 100k USD....
and for the Chinese EV, they did some really good job too. good driving quality, fancy interior, lots of convenient equipment and most important very very affordable price.....
I will tell you why, established enterprises are like a heavy truck, too hard to change their direction when compared with new tech startups. This wave of Chinese intelligent EVs is nothing short of revolutionary, like from functional phones updated to smartphones. the previous Japanese and Korean cars just cannot compare to it.
Soon Chinese parents will look at their children at dinner time and say ：
"If you don't study hard, you will only be able to drive a Mercedes-Benz and a BMW in the future."
Obviously!
or; I will rather cry riding in a Yang Wang than smile while riding in an american car.( referenced to the anecdote of an unhappy girl would rather be crying inside a BMW than smiling riding in a bicycle with a poor boyfriend.)
They are dirt cheap in China now! Also bmw.

The speed of technological advancement is astonishing!
It's crazy how rapidly their industries develop, and how much ahead of everyone else they are

I wanna get one just so I can say "Have you seen my Yangwang?" 🤣

I am always blown away by the incredible innovation I see coming from China... it's not something to fight against as if it's an enemy, it's awesome innovation, and I love the spirit of people in China to create things that are amazing.
Yeah... The simplest reason why western governments and their medias always distort China is because it provides cheaper and better products for their citizens.
I see why American Car manufacturers are pissed and afraid of BYD. You have a tank of a hybrid car that can cross banks of water and has a karaoke machine?!? Nah, we got to step it up.
They(American Car Manufactures ) are trembling in the corner.
They recently did a tear down of a BYD sedan and concluded that Chinese EV industry is an "extinction level" competition to the west.
Extinguishing western imperialistic dominance is a godly thing to do and I salute BYD.
While we're focused on DEI (distracting everyone [with] idiocy), they are actually getting shit done and improving the lives of their citizens...
@@potu5097 LOL .. sure they are...
Let's impose 1000000% tax on them because we can't compete with them
welcome to how the world has worked since babylon
yeah, that's not sustainable, and weakens the domestic industry by depriving them of competition to push innovation...see Detroit.
All SE-Asian countries impose ridiculous import taxes on Western cars, so it's fair to do the same thing.
I currently live in Thailand, 270% import duties on imported cars...
@@cookiedad6056 you don't understand market economics...if you force your consumers to pay more, against their will, not only are you an immoral authoritarian who doesn't respect their INDIVIDUAL RIGHT to property (there is no national right to property, no collective right to property, please reread the Founders on free markets, trade, immigration, guns, etc.), BUT ALSO you're impoverishing your domestic populace and causing consumers to be gouged, for the benefit of crony capitalists.

They’ve also are working on an electric car that doesn’t have rotors and pads for braking, it uses the electric motor accelerate, regenerate, and brake. I love the idea of two charges, 10 mins is less than the interval between track sessions. I don’t know about the suspension but I would love to try something new.

@@BTMMHACKThe US government banned it with high tariffs.
Skeptic here, thank you for the invitation. If the point of EVs is coolness, high tech gubbins and chest crushing accelleration then have at it, no problems. Just don't try to tell me they're somehow better for the environment. Too many studies have shown that they are not.
I really love the fact that in a time when most SUV's are just for show, the U8 can go up steep hills, ride on rough terrain and literally float across a river. That's insanely cool. I can see why you wanted to discuss the U8 before moving onto the U9, Robert. Good call. Love both of these cars. 😊

You say the U9 is not cheap at £184,000. You're right it isn't. But in the Bugatti Veyron hey day you would have to pay £2m for something that does what the U9 does. I think for what it is the U9 is an absolute bargain.
Cheaper than a Porsche

the parked BYD SUV lauched 2m into air after the battery, looked great on mobile phone but would look better on a 8k camera and they could save money as they wouldnt have to use explosives
Why not the Zeekr 007
BYD is already #1 global EV leader, without even having entered the US market yet. Actually CEO said they don't even want to enter US yet because of geopolitcal reasons.
Their cars including the U9 are designed by Wolfgang Egger, who previously served as a head designer for Alfa Romeo, Audi and Lamborghini They produced the most EVs in the world (6M), and are expanding fast. They beat Tesla in number of pure EVs sold (not hybrid) in Q4 2023, and if you include hybrids they are far ahead of Tesla. Tesla actually buys their batteries for the model Y because their batteries are so good and they always come up with new innovations from being a 23 year old battery manufacturer.
They have pricing advantage because of their high vertical integrated supply chain so what they do now is that they sell better EVs than their competitors and put their prices slightly lower. It's only a matter of time until the mainstream west open their eyes, a lot are skeptical because it's chinese but BYD has already proven itself. Yangwang is their EV luxury subsidiary and one of their main goal is to gain brand recognition.

Well there is one thing BYD does very well that no other brand doea... they actually listen to their customers... and act on it... like removing the built your dream from the back for latam and euro markets, like removing the bings and bongs, etc. It is good customer services and their tech improves much faster due to it ...

Well these companies did at one point love to boast about how they can 1000 lb pressure per inch or 20 grown men standing on it, or something like that.
i mean, they are made to take force in a downwards direction.
He could sit on those spoiler all day long
@@crackedemerald4930 no, just no that's not at all how downforce works. And definitely not stability spoilers like this one as these are for stableizing the air until it's over the cars. Reduing it's wake.
Downforce wings are used to lift the air up from under the wing as the air will sort of bind itself to the spoiler. Yes a little air will flow over it as well pushing down of the spoiler but force wise that's not the main contributer. Because of the air getting lifted a low pressure area below the wing adding downforce in combination with the diffuser.
F1 wings of todays cars make it easily visible because they all have a little scoop upwards at the front bottom section of the frontwing.
@@crackedemerald4930 downed force because lifted air. E=MC2 would be the shorter answer :p
I think hybrid is the way to go, the type of hybrid that is not connected mechanically to the wheels. Yet hybrids with somewhat bigger batteries, like maybe 40 kw/h and a very small generator maybe around 25 kw for midsized cars, which is the average of what they need to drive. That way even on longer trips, most of the energy will come from the batteries and the genset simply be a range extender. Thus in 95 % of the use cases, the car won't even have to turn on the genset and use only marginal amounts off FF across its lifespan. That will help reduce CO2 emissions much more than pure EV's because that way, hybrid ev's will become accessible to everyone and finally provide true alternative to pure ICE's, making it possible to have all cars run as pure EV's, 95 % of the time. Now if we on top of that create standardized plugin battery packs, that can be upgraded as new battery tech emerges, the transition will become seamless and effortless for all.
Why is that you may ask? Well we use rare earth metals and mineral for the current battery technology, those are a finite resource and it is not possible to produce enough batteries to turn all cars into EV's, especially not if we also want growth for underdeveloped nations, which of course we do want. Second, small ICE gensets in an EV use far less petrol pr. passenger km or pr. kg/ km because the car at its core is an EV, thus the regen whenever breaking is transferred back into the battery pack instead of simply wasted like in a pure ICE. Moreover, the electrical grid isn't carbon neutral at this point and in many cases the electricity is produced by fossil fuel so that it actually is less energy efficient to produce the energy outside a hybrid EV vehicle, because those fossil power plants lack the ability to regenerate power like an EV can (although we can use the thermal energy output for meaningful things, like heating and even steam production for steam turbines, yet few of the existing ones have that feature). Again reducing overall CO2 emissions dramatically.
So there it is, the solution, not for an imaginary future, but one for right here and now. Bravo BYD for forward thinking, if that was their reasoning too. In conclusions, hybrid charged EV's are far more affordable, reduce strain of our environment and resources and can be future proof with standardized plugin battery packs, making their lifespan at least as long as current ICE's. The latter too is one of the main problems with pure EV's, they really don't last that long, due to their limited battery life. Oh and come to think of it, by doing this supercharging, which dramatically reduces battery life, can now be done much less frequently or even avoided altogether, helping to stretch those finite resources used to make batteries even further
Fair play to Robert for saying "The Yang Wang U Ate " without laughing 😅😅😅

Fantastic vehicles and world-beating technology. BYD has a bright future.
Insurance claim :
Was waiting at the traffic lights and got hit up the arse by a YangWang.
Unless there are some major changes in the way western economies handle long term planning they will never catch up with China.
To be competitive with this they would have to build up the entire supply chain for making cars in-house and that will take years if not decades and will not be profitable on the short term.
Slapping a short term profit model on everything just doesn't work unless you have a monopoly or cartel going and even then it is just a matter of time for someone to leapfrog you. We saw the same thing happening with AMD and Intel. Intel to this day hasn't really caught up because it sat on its ass making profit as it was on the game in town.
I think Toyota has a problem, a big problem looming in the near future.
it already has.... the BYD hybrid is way better than toyota one
Toyota is known for the reliability of their cars. Every time you see a couple of guys with AKs sitting in the back of a pickup truck on the news, what is written across the back of the truck? That's right. It took decades to get to this point. High-Tech is nice, but BYD still have to prove their cars can stand the test of time.
In China, Toyota sales has dropped double digit percent last year, this year so far it's something -20%.
Is that why Toyota is closing plants in China and Thailand? Please stop exposing your ignorance in a public forum!

Maybe it will spark the curiosity of openminded folks to learn what the words 仰望 mean, how it's pronounced in Mandarin (Google Translate is available almost everywhere in the West), or what BYD stands for. Or maybe that's wishful thinking or too much to ask of those who are not Chinese (most of whom are curious about the world outside of China)? It's a shame that most in the West have little interest in what really happens in China, the various Chinese cultures, dialects or languages, history, and its diverse peoples. I guess it won't really matter because they will not sell many of these outside of China anyway thanks to the blatant hypocritical protectionism imposed by the US / Europe. No matter, the extra tariffs are simply taxes on Western consumers who are forced to pay them to their governments, driving up inflation in those countries because they have to either pay the extra taxes or buy the higher priced domestically made EVs or plug-in hybrids. The BYD cars for the regular folks for example (Seagull, Dolphin, Sealion, etc.) should be affordable to most with pricing from $10K - $30K without the tariffs.

The Americans can bash all they want but the Chinese knows how to design, engineer and build impressive vehicles, and these relatively new manufacturers achieved far more than even long established American car companies (GM, Ford, Chrysler). American EV startups have been struggling long to get their first models to market (Fisker, Lordstown, Canoo, Faraday, etc.) only to fail miserably, while Tesla has many issues of their own and their long delayed new model, the Cybertruck has been a joke in the automotive industry with quality issues akin to Russian cars from the 80s and 90s (but suckers seem to flock to their hype despite it). If and when these Chinese car manufacturers enter here in America they would quickly be a huge threat and will change the car industry drastically in North America.
First, GM built an all-electric super-SUV a couple years ago- the Hummer EV. Secondly, not all North American EVs are as bad as the cybertruck, some are very good. Third, this infomercial posing as a yt channel said nothing about the quality of this brand. There are many reasons to be skeptical.
The issue is charging options/availability and range (battery/software) not the cars my friend. 1 moving part in the engine. Tesla uses it's own network of Tesla chargers and can use DC chargers. Hence it is so succesful in the US but still mostly as a second car. Main car will be ICE.
The only thing that breaks quickly on EV's are the brakes. But thats because of re-gen and not using them. Only in avoiding you'd smash the brakes breaking them in the process.

Built best features, low prices and somewhat reliable at an extent that it is acceptable for the masses. I do love my chinese phones and a few more products that I purchase from them through online shops. It's just a ton of value and very accessible to the masses.
