Can the 628,000 RMB Yangwang U7 really lead new energy vehicles into the ‘four-electricity era’?

The new energy vehicle market is undergoing a technological revolution, and with a starting price of 628,000 RMB, Yangwang U7 claims to usher in the ‘four-electric era’. However, can this luxury pure-electric sedan truly define the future of new energy, or is it just another marketing hype?

What does the ‘Four Electric Era’ really mean?
The concept of ‘four electrics’ proposed by Yangwang U7, i.e. electric drive, electric control, battery and electric intelligence, aims to comprehensively enhance the core competitiveness of new energy vehicles. Among them

Electric drive: Equipped with 800V high-voltage SiC electric drive system to achieve more efficient energy conversion;
Electric control: full-stack self-developed intelligent control system, optimising power distribution and improving driving safety;
Battery: adopts CTB integrated battery technology to improve energy density and enhance range;
Electric Intelligence: equipped with advanced Smart Driving Assistance System, supporting L3-level automatic driving.
These technologies do give U7 a certain advantage in the new energy market, but what consumers are most concerned about is still range, driving experience, and a sense of luxury, not just technology stacking.

In the million-dollar new energy sedan market, what are the odds of looking up to the U7?

In the luxury EV market, models such as the Tesla Model S Plaid (CNY899,900) and Mercedes-Benz EQS (from CNY908,800) have already set the benchmark. And with a price tag of CNY628,000, is the Yangwang U7 competitive enough?


Range and Performance Comparison

Judging from the figures, the Yangwang U7 does have some advantages in terms of range and power performance, especially its powerful powertrain, which is capable of rivalling or even surpassing supercar-class models. However, brand influence and luxury experience are still the biggest challenges it faces.

Owner's Experience: Can Yangwang U7 meet users' expectations?

Currently, consumers' requirements for high-end new energy vehicles are no longer just range and power, but all-round driving experience. According to the feedback from early owners, Yangwang U7 excels in the following aspects:

Cockpit luxury: the interior is made of high-end materials, equipped with panoramic canopy and intelligent cockpit system.

Driving assistance: Equipped with multi-sensor fusion intelligent driving system, supporting high-level automatic driving function.

Handling performance: intelligent four-wheel drive system and active suspension for more stable and comfortable driving.

However, some users have expressed concerns:

The brand recognition is not as good as traditional luxury brands such as Tesla and Mercedes-Benz, and the residual value in the second-hand market is doubtful.

Whether the intelligent experience is really mature or not is still to be tested by long time users.

The future of Yangwang U7: Can it truly disrupt the market?

The launch of Yangwang U7 has indeed injected new vigour into the domestic high-end EV market. It has highlights in terms of technological innovation, power performance and intelligence, but it still needs time to be verified in terms of brand influence, creation of a sense of luxury and accumulation of user reputation.

So, can the RMB628,000 Yangwang U7 really bring new energy vehicles into the ‘four-electric era’?
