BYD-owned Yangwang Automobile has unveiled its latest innovation that may create ripples in the off-road vehicle market. The Yangwang U8, equipped with the exclusive Yunan-P intelligent hydraulic body control system, promises an unparalleled driving experience in both urban and off-road scenarios. Let’s dive deeper to find out how the system operates.
The U8 also has a Camping Leveling feature for camping trips
The Yunan-P system combines state-of-the-art software and hardware technologies to deliver optimal control and interaction. By integrating perception, decision-making, control, and interaction, the system creates the Cloudcar-P intelligent hydraulic body control system, making the U8 a versatile vehicle capable of both urban driving and off-road traversing.
One of the key features of the Yunan-P system is its focus on comfort. With continuously adjustable damping and a road preview system utilizing cameras and laser radars, the U8 effectively minimizes the impact of wheel end beating on cockpit comfort. Whether navigating speed bumps in the city or tackling rugged off-road terrain, the U8 ensures a smooth and comfortable ride.
In addition to comfort, the U8 offers impressive performance and safety enhancements. Through body posture and driving behavior perception, the vehicle dynamically adjusts stiffness and damping in real-time, improving acceleration, deceleration, and reducing motion sickness. The Cloudcar-P system also reduces vertical displacement and roll gradient in curves.
The U8’s capabilities extend beyond the road. With a 150mm ultra-long active adjustment stroke, it can conquer various obstacles and wade through waters up to 1m deep. The vehicle’s high flexibility also enhances convenience in everyday usage scenarios, such as loading and unloading cargo or passing through toll stations. On high-speed roads, the U8’s height adjustment function reduces wind resistance, energy consumption, and enhances stability.
Safety is a top priority, and the U8 incorporates the Yuncar-P system, which ensures stability and safety in challenging terrains. The system’s four-wheel linkage technology prevents single-wheel off the ground and triggers a 3-level stiffness adjustment in emergency situations, reducing impact loads by 50%.
Furthermore, the U8 offers a unique camping leveling ability with a single button press, allowing users to enjoy a level interior while camping in the wild. It even features a 6kW VTOL discharge function, bringing modern comforts to outdoor adventures.
Yangwang Automobile’s Yuncar-P system integrates intelligent detection architecture, computing center, and control technology to deliver a seamless driving experience. Precise perception, real-time decision-making, intelligent control, and stable execution work together to ensure the U8’s exceptional performance and meet the demands of safety, comfort, handling, off-road capability, and entertainment.
The Yangwang U8, the first new energy SUV from the brand, has already generated excitement in the market. Pre-sales began at the Shanghai Auto Show, with a starting price of 1.098 million yuan (~$152, 222)
