Sales in China have already begun
California Governor Gavin Newsom visited Shenzhen, home of BYD. He tested BYD’s production YangWang U8 SUV, calling it “another leap in technology.” Let us remind you that cars are already being delivered to dealers on huge car transporters.
Newsom gained public attention in 2020 by signing agreements with BYD to produce masks. Now he’s making headlines again by testing BYD’s flagship model.
The Governor of California performed the signature YangWang U8 trick – a tank turn. Moreover, the video shows how the car performs this element even on asphalt. Earlier we saw him spinning in place on a dirt road. He also drove this car around the bus stop. In a short interview recorded by Shenzhen Daily, Newsom praised the design, functionality, and clever weight distribution of the YangWang U8.
The production version of the YangWang U8 was tested in action
“This is another leap in technology, a leap to the next level that I did not expect. And I’m delighted. Incredible, incredibly beautiful car. Design, functionality, weight and weight distribution,” said Gavin Newsome.
When asked if he would like to take the YangWang U8 with him, Gavin Newsome replied that he wanted two of them.
YangWang U8 in China costs about $150,000.
