Yangwang Flagship Spy Shots: Large Sedan and SUV Target Phantom, Cullinan

Spy shots taken in China in September 2026 show that BYD's luxury brand Yangwang is developing two all-new flagship models, a full-size sedan and a full-size SUV. The sedan adopts a coach-door design and is speculated to lack a B-pillar, with a silhouette close to that of the Rolls-Royce Phantom; the SUV is undergoing high-temperature testing in Turpan, has a side stance close to the Cullinan, is equipped with a single LiDAR unit, and places greater emphasis on on-road performance. Most existing Yangwang products are priced above RMB 1 million, and 442 units were delivered in the Chinese market in August 2026.
