AutoExec Summary
The BYD Yangwang U8 luxury SUV is set to arrive in Australia, with local BYD importer Luke Todd confirming the deal. The 880kW heavy duty off-roader is expected to be available in local showrooms by late 2025, and will be priced around $240,000. This makes it significantly more expensive than popular SUVs like the Toyota LandCruiser and Nissan Patrol, positioning it as a rival to luxury brands like Range Rover and Benz. The U8 is the debut model of BYD’s new luxury subsidiary brand, Yangwang, and is equipped with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, advanced technology, and luxury features. Todd is confident in the market for the U8 in Australia and aims to bring it to the country within the next two years. The U8 is expected to be a bonafide off-roader with impressive performance and features.
