To prove that the vehicle could withstand even the harshest conditions, the company dropped a <strong>2-ton tree<\/strong> on the car exactly three times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In three different drops, the maximum <strong>impact energy<\/strong> the vehicle was subjected to reached <strong>50.4 kJ<\/strong>. Even though the <strong>palm tree<\/strong> was dropped repeatedly, the <strong>Yangwang U8L&#8217;s body structure<\/strong> remained <strong>intact<\/strong>, its doors continued to open <strong>without issues<\/strong>, and most importantly, the vehicle&#8217;s <strong>pillars did not bend<\/strong>. After all these tough trials, the <strong>luxury SUV<\/strong> was able to continue on its way without any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It Has Other Extraordinary Abilities Too<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Impressive BYD YangWang U8L Palm Tree Drop Test\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pD8Np0WmxmU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Yangwang U8L<\/strong> is a model built on <strong>BYD&#8217;s EREV hybrid platform<\/strong>. While the vehicle offers a <strong>200 km range<\/strong> on <strong>battery power<\/strong> alone, the <strong>2.0-liter turbo gasoline engine<\/strong> acts as a <strong>generator<\/strong>, increasing the <strong>total range<\/strong> to <strong>1,160 km<\/strong> according to <strong>CLTC measurements<\/strong>. Additionally, the model possesses imposing dimensions with a length of <strong>5,400 mm<\/strong>, a width of <strong>2,049 mm<\/strong>, and a height of <strong>1,921 mm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Yangwang U8L<\/strong> draws attention not only for its <strong>durability<\/strong> but also for its <strong>extraordinary capabilities<\/strong>. The vehicle can <strong>stay afloat on water<\/strong> for 30 minutes, spin in place (<strong>tank turn<\/strong>), and even move sideways (<strong>crab walk<\/strong>). The starting price of this <strong>ultra-luxury SUV<\/strong> model by <strong>BYD<\/strong> is around <strong>$180,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Also Like;<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/the-dark-side-of-nanotechnology\/\">The Dark Side of Nanotechnology: Could Microscopic Swarms Erase Billions?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/the-illusion-of-digital-immortality\/\">The Illusion of Digital Immortality: Are You Really Uploading Your Mind?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/artemis-2s-deep-space-eclipse\/\">The View That Changes Everything: Artemis 2\u2019s Deep Space Eclipse<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese auto giant BYD conducted an extreme test to prove the durability of its $180,000 luxury SUV.
