BYD Yangwang demonstrates U7 body control system through roof game

Yangwang has just introduced the impressive capabilities of the U7 body control system, the sedan that will join the product line of BYD's super luxury sub-brand, through a video on Weibo. In it, a player controls the U7's suspension system with a phone to help a small ball out of a maze placed on the roof.

Players complete the challenge by using their phone's gyroscope to guide quick adjustments on the car's suspension.

'DiSus-Z, the sensitivity is clearly visible,' Yangwang wrote in the post.

So what is DiSus?

DiSus is a body control system announced by BYD on April 10, 2023, with three branches including:

1. DiSus-C: Intelligent body control system based on shock absorbers.
2. DiSus-A: Intelligent body control system based on pneumatics.
3. DiSus-P: Hydraulically based intelligent body control system.

On April 25, 2024, Yangwang launched the U7 model at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, claiming that it is the top sedan in the 1 million yuan (about 137,430 USD) price segment.

The U7 will be the first model to be equipped with BYD's DiSus-Z intelligent body control system, which Yangwang claims offers superior comfort, even surpassing that of maglev trains.

Pre-sale and featured specs

Yangwang began pre-sales of the U7 at the Guangzhou Auto Show on November 15 last year, allowing customers to reserve a seat with a deposit of 20,000 yuan.

The U7 is offered in two versions: battery electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), similar to many other BYD models.

In terms of performance, the U7 has a maximum capacity of up to 1,300 horsepower, the ability to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, and reach a maximum speed of 270 km/h, according to information announced by Yangwang.

The U7's demonstration of body control is the latest demonstration of automotive technology innovation by domestic Chinese brands.
