So far, the Mercedes-Benz EQS is ahead of the pack with a drag coefficient of 0.20, but BYD aims to surpass the German sedan with its new luxury EV.<\/p>\n<p>At the Academic Annual Conference Of Automotive Aerodynamics Committee of China, BYD confirmed the Yangwang U6, as per a Weibo post shared by <em>CarNewsChina<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The report claims that the Yangwang U6 will have a drag coefficient of just 0.195, better than the EQS, Nio ET7 (0.280 Cd), Tesla Model S Plaid (0.280 Cd), Lucid Air (0.21 Cd), and even the Porsche Taycan (0.22 Cd).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/custom\/thumbnail\/byd-yangwang-u6-front-three-quarters.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The drag coefficient is a measure of how aerodynamically streamlined a vehicle is. A lower drag coefficient indicates less drag or resistance, which means the car can cut through the air by consuming relatively less energy. Conversely, a higher drag coefficient implies greater resistance and reduced efficiency in motion, which could impact the driving range among EVs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s largest EV maker launched its upscale Yangwang arm early this year and unveiled a couple of upmarket models called the U8, a rugged off-roader that can do tank turns, and the U9 supercar, which in BYD\u2019s film was seen jumping off the ground, thanks to a sophisticated suspension system called Disus.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\"><\/p>\n<p>The U6 appears to be the next big launch under BYD\u2019s Yangwang moniker. EU patent images revealed a high-end saloon in the league of the BMW i7. A teaser from the conference revealed flush door handles, a low belt line, smooth bodywork, aero wheel covers, and digital mirrors. <em>CarNewsChina<\/em> also claims that the EV has an active rear spoiler.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese publication estimates that the Model S Plaid rivaling sedan could borrow the quad-motor powertrain from the U8, rated at 1,180 horsepower. The estimated price of&nbsp;U6 is 800,000 yuan ($110,000).<\/p>\n<p> Source: <span>Weibo<\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/686399\/byd-yangwang-u6-worlds-most-aerodynamic-sedan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The race to build the world\u2019s most aerodynamic electric production model appears to be heating up.
