The secret of a hybrid SUV with flood protection has been revealed
At all times, the worst enemy of the car, among other things, was water. Our secondary market is familiar with “drowned” cars, which enterprising businessmen buy en masse for next to nothing after floods in European countries. A few simple manipulations, and the average buyer will not notice visible signs of flooding. But problems will manifest themselves over time - wiring, total body corrosion, and smell can poison the operation of the most unassuming car owners.


However, the Celestial Empire has found a way to protect a car from flooding during natural disasters or when traveling off-road. We are talking about BYD Yang Wang U8 - a beautiful and “powerful” SUV with unique conceptual solutions. Its PHEV 2.0T powerplant with four electric drives (for each wheel) and a battery pack of almost 50 kW/h would definitely be susceptible to moisture, if not for one thing. Chinese designers gave the car more than just serious water protection.

BYD Yang Wang U8 is the first production car with the ability to pressurize the interior. You can safely ford the river on it. The water level can reach 1 meter (!) or more - a hybrid in the top configuration is not afraid of anything. Even if you go deeper, the equipment activates the floating mode. But how does U8 do this? The CarForLife channel kindly provided us with a video in which BYD reveals the secrets of its unique and rather expensive new product.
