Here’s what it is, what it can do, and what it costs. The Altior is the flagship of BYD’s high-end Yangwang sub-brand. It debuted in Abu Dhabi, aimed at Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Mercedes-Maybach. What you get: 220.5 in (5,600 mm) long, 2.2 in longer than a Rolls-Royce Ghost and 6.4 in shorter than a standard-wheelbase Phantom e4 Platform with four electric motors that adjust torque over 100 times per second (combined output not announced) Tank turns, plus stability if a tire blows out at high speed Emergency flotation capability, which the Yangwang U8 SUV has had since 2023 DiSus fully active body control that adjusts the adaptive suspension for the road ahead 4 nm Xuanji A3 chip running God’s Eye A for autonomous driving tasks Second-gen Blade Battery with FLASH Charging and an estimated 621+ miles (1,000 km) of range on the CLTC cycle, which tends to run higher than EPA Four-seat cabin with a screen-covered dashboard, 21.4-inch overhead display, 39-speaker audio, zero-gravity massaging rear seats, front and rear fridges, and door-mounted umbrella holders Suicide doors that open 80 degrees (front) and 90 degrees (rear) Pricing in China: Altior Shanhe Dingyun launch edition: ¥2,080,000 (about $311,540) Rolls-Royce Phantom: starts at roughly ¥8.5 million (about $1.2 million), boosted by import taxes and luxury surcharges Huawei Maextro S800: from ¥708,000 (about $106,000) FAW Hongqi Guoya: from ¥1.4 million (about $210,000) Mercedes EQS: ¥881,000 (about $132,000) The Altior is open for orders in China. BYD hasn’t announced sales anywhere else, but the Abu Dhabi debut and a press release on its UK media portal hint at global plans. Clever homage or just a Phantom with a friendlier price?
