BYD's Yangwang brand introduced the Altior, a four-seat ultra-luxury electric sedan with rear coach doors and a price of 2,080,000 yuan, at a debut event in Abu Dhabi.
BYD's Yangwang luxury division presented the Altior at a global debut in Abu Dhabi, offering a four-seat electric sedan priced at 2,080,000 yuan for pre-order in China. The model features rear-hinged coach doors that open to 90 degrees, an integrated umbrella holder, and a range of bespoke interior and exterior details aimed at the ultra-luxury market.
The Altior’s exterior includes a large front grille with 137 gemstone-cut elements, Ding-shaped diamond-cut crystal headlights, dual-tone paint, and a 24-karat gold front emblem. The rear coach doors open to a full 90 degrees, while the front doors open to 80 degrees. Inside, a four-seat cabin offers a 21.4-inch ceiling-mounted screen for rear passengers, built-in refrigerators, a fold-out business table, and zero-gravity recliners with massage functions and privacy shades. Materials such as semi-aniline full-grain leather, lamb’s wool floor mats, and 60-facet crystal rotary controls are highlighted, and a 39-speaker Dynaudio system provides audio coverage.
Measuring 5,600 mm in length with a 3,500 mm wheelbase, the Altior is positioned against models like the Rolls-Royce Ghost and Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. It rides on 275/45 R21 wheels equipped with Continental PremiumContact C tires and incorporates a roof-mounted LiDAR sensor linked to BYD’s next-generation God’s Eye driver-assistance system, which supports full-scenario point-to-point navigation.
Powered by BYD’s e⁴ platform, the sedan uses a four-motor electric drivetrain and a second-generation Blade Battery that delivers a CLTC range exceeding 1,000 km, estimated at 800–820 km under WLTP. The high-voltage 1,000 V architecture enables flash charging from 10 % to 70 % in about five minutes. The vehicle also features a DiSus suspension that uses road-surface preview cameras to mitigate bumps and a 4nm Xuanji A3 driving chip.
The announced price applies to the Shanhe Dingyun Limited Edition, which combines a brown and gold exterior with a brown and white interior, and requires a 300,000 yuan deposit. Yangwang’s UAE operations are handled by Al-Futtaim, and the brand has recorded 3,251 domestic sales in the first nine months of 2026, a 38.9 % increase year over year.
