BYD Reveals Stunning New Colorway Inspired by Ancient Gold Lacquer Craft

At the 2025 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Auto Show, BYD introduced a bold new look for its flagship Yangwang U8L SUV. The new colorway, dubbed Obsidian Black with Solar Gold accents, draws inspiration from over 2,000 years of traditional Chinese black lacquer and gold craftsmanship. This luxurious edition is enhanced by a unique oracle bone script emblem crafted from real 24K gold, setting a new standard for premium design.

Refined Exterior with Premium Gold Detailing

The Obsidian Black U8L is adorned with Solar Gold trim running through the body, including dual-stripe accents on the side mirrors and gold lettering on the tailgate. The vehicle also features 22-inch multi-spoke forged alloy wheels in matte black, paired with high-performance carbon ceramic brake discs—delivering both visual impact and road dominance.

Full-Size SUV With Market-Leading Dimensions

Positioned as a full-size SUV, the Yangwang U8L boasts a commanding footprint, measuring 5,400 mm in length, 2,049 mm in width, and 1,921 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 3,250 mm, giving it one of the largest profiles in its segment.

This model offers the longest body and largest second-row space among mainstream full-size SUVs, with a total cabin volume of 5.3 cubic meters, making it ideal for passengers seeking expansive comfort.

Inheriting the DNA of the U8 With Enhanced Features

Design-wise, the U8L maintains the core visual identity of the original U8 but elevates it with the new luxury finish. It continues to integrate BYD’s innovative e⁴ (易四方) technology platform, allowing for independent torque vectoring at all four wheels.

This intelligent system enables standout capabilities such as:

• In-place 360° tank turns

• Precision e⁴ autonomous parking

• Steady control even after a high-speed tire blowout

Additionally, the SUV is equipped with the YunNian-P intelligent hydraulic body control system, offering a one-touch leveling feature that optimizes body stance across different terrains.

Engineering Meets Art in the Yangwang U8L

The newly unveiled U8L blends luxury, tradition, and modern performance like no other. By infusing ancient Chinese artistry into a technologically advanced platform, BYD signals its ambition to redefine what a luxury electric SUV can be. With unparalleled cabin volume, innovative drivetrain systems, and opulent 24K gold details, the Yangwang U8L is more than a vehicle—it’s a cultural statement on wheels.
