If you're among the rapidly shrinking group of people that still underestimate Chinese automakers, you probably need a reality check, and BYD's newest launch is as good as any.
China's largest EV maker has officially unveiled the Yangwang U8 Premium Edition in China, following a preview earlier this year. Marketed under BYD's high-end sub-brand Yangwang, the U8 is a $150,000 luxury off-road SUV that features a sophisticated four-motor series plug-in hybrid system delivering up to 1,180 horsepower.
