BYD YangWang U8Upcoming

The BYD Yangwang U8 is a full-size electric luxury SUV from BYD, and it also happens to be the most expensive Chinese mass-produced electric car.

If it launches in India, it will compete with the Hummer EV and the Mercedes G580.

Hi, Car is great. But it is over priced. It should be 30-40 Lakhs. If it comes in India I will surely buy it. It is best SUV in electric segment.
