Yangwang, BYD's luxury brand, unveiled its Altior ultra-luxury executive sedan at a global debut in Abu Dhabi on 7 November 2026.
Newspress posted the debut line on X, tagging BYD Europe:
"YANGWANG ALTIOR makes its global debut in Abu Dhabi: a higher expression of power"
Trade coverage from CnEVPost and CarNewsChina describes a roughly 5.6-metre four-seat flagship with rear-hinged coach doors, aimed at the Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Maybach class. CnEVPost said Yangwang began taking pre-orders for a limited "Shanhe Dingyun" edition capped at 399 units worldwide, with an expected price around 2.08 million yuan and a 300,000 yuan deposit — figures that are still reported as expected, not a final sticker in every market.
What the coverage claims
Reporting consistently lists a 5,600 mm length and about 3,500 mm wheelbase, four independently controlled motors on Yangwang's e4 platform, second-generation Blade Battery hardware, and a claimed CLTC range of over 1,000 km. Some outlets also cite about 956 kW (roughly 1,280 hp) and flash-charging claims; treat power, range and pricing as manufacturer or press-kit figures until Yangwang publishes full homologation data for each market.
The Altior debut is separate from Yangwang's U9 Xtreme speed-record coverage. Primary pointers for this story: the Newspress X post (exact URL under Sources) and the CnEVPost write-up.
