BYD YangWang U8
The BYD Yangwang U8 is a full-size electric luxury SUV from BYD, and it also happens to be the most expensive Chinese mass-produced electric car. This SUV is not a fully electric vehicle, as it gets an extra boost from a 2.0L turbo inline-4 petrol engine, but its main power source is a quad motor setup. If it launches in India, it will compete with the Hummer EV and the Mercedes G580.
