Enter the water confidently, activate Emergency Floating Mode, and continue your journey. Your vehicle, the YangWang U9, is specifically designed for this purpose. A viral video showcases the YangWang U9 SUV effortlessly floating across the water, with occupants casually waving from inside as they pass through the lake.
Equipped with Emergency Floating Mode, the YangWang U9 ensures buoyancy for up to 30 minutes, providing ample time for water traversal. Upon activation of Yachting Mode, the vehicle automatically adjusts its settings, raising suspension, closing windows, and opening the sunroof for escape. In the video, occupants enjoy the leisurely ride, utilizing the vehicle’s capabilities to go through the water.
While the experience appears enjoyable, BYD, the manufacturer, emphasizes that Emergency Floating Mode is not for recreational use. It’s intended for situations such as floods or accidental immersion. The vehicle’s onboard screen provides real-time data on water depth and distance to shore, ensuring safe navigation.
After water exposure, the U9 requires inspection at a service center to assess sealing, water infiltration, and potential rust. With two versions available, the U9 offers varying water traversal depths, with the Off-Road Master Edition capable of getting around depths of up to 55 inches.
Powered by four electric motors and a range-extending 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, the U9 boasts impressive horsepower and a long-range capacity, making it suitable for diverse terrains and scenarios. While other vehicles may promise similar capabilities, the YangWang U9 stands out with its unique blend of performance and versatility on land and water alike.
