At the recently held "Ultimate Control, Unprecedented" Yangwang U7 Owner Driving Event, held at BYD's Shaoxing race track, Yangwang officially announced that the U7 completed a 30,000-kilometer endurance test in 8 days, 19 hours, and 58 minutes. This achievement marks a new world record for extreme endurance testing, showcasing the vehicle's production-grade reliability under punishing conditions.

The event brought together Yangwang U7 owners, driving enthusiasts, and automotive media to not only review the U7's development journey but also push the car to its dynamic limits on the professional circuit. During the gathering, Yangwang unveiled its new "Tuning Master" driving feature and launched a personalized modification program, reinforcing the U7's status as a driver's car that can be tailored to individual tastes—truly offering a thousand different expressions for a thousand different drivers.

Breaking Records: 30,000 km in Nine Days

Yangwang revealed that the U7 completed the 30,000-kilometer endurance run in 8 days, 19 hours, and 58 minutes—a feat that compresses two to three years of typical daily driving into just over a week. The challenge was designed as a real-world, rigorous stress test to address potential issues before they ever become a concern for owners.

During the test in Nanning this August, where temperatures averaged above 36°C with relative humidity reaching 80%, the U7 maintained a continuous cruising speed of 240 km/h with the air conditioning set to 24°C. Over the course of the 8-day, 19-hour, and 58-minute run, the vehicle completed more than 350 fast-charging cycles, subjecting its battery system, thermal management, chassis, and high-voltage components to unprecedented stress levels. The test vehicle was a random showroom-sourced 2026 U7 production test car—no special modifications, no hardware tuning.

Leveraging the second-generation blade battery with dual cold plates and dual-pole safety design, race-grade thermal management systems co-developed with the Yangwang U9, segmented magnet motors, and the e4 four-motor distributed architecture, the U7 passed the challenge with flying colors. Following the test, the battery capacity retention rate remained at an impressive 98.7%, well above warranty requirements.

This endurance feat follows the U7's recent 30,000-kilometer round-trip drive across the Eurasian continent, where it made its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK. These two extreme tests—the transcontinental journey and the high-speed endurance run—underscore Yangwang's commitment to verifying real-world safety and durability, setting a new benchmark for "performance endurance" in the new energy era.

Tuning Master: A Car with More Than One Personality

Built on the fully digitalized controllable hardware of the e4 and YunNian systems, Yangwang has introduced the "Tuning Master" feature. This function breaks free from traditional mechanical constraints by allowing drivers to adjust suspension damping, stiffness, and other parameters with infinite variability, moving beyond the factory's default "greatest common denominator" settings.

Since everyone's definition of driving pleasure differs—and those expectations can change from moment to moment—Tuning Master hands the keys to personalization back to the driver. With this feature, the U7 can be anything you want it to be, yet it remains uniquely yours. The company's slogan for this feature, "One car, a thousand faces, defined by you," captures the essence of this innovation.

The Tuning Master function will be rolled out to all Yangwang U7 owners via over-the-air (OTA) updates and will continue to evolve, ensuring the system stays fresh and relevant for years to come.

More Than One Form of Motion, More Than One Expression

While Tuning Master expands the U7's dynamic possibilities, the drivers themselves bring their own personalities to the car. At the Yangwang U7 Owner Driving Event, several driving enthusiasts from different backgrounds showcased their customized U7s, revealing the vehicle's versatility. Modified U7s co-created with swimmer Pan Zhanle, professional racer Han Cenyu, and motorsport influencer Tie Dou were on display, each incorporating themes like athletic perseverance, a racing driver's journey, and the power of women in motorsport—each car delivering a completely distinct visual and emotional statement.

Personalized modification is the most direct and outward expression of a driver's attitude. By embracing owner and enthusiast customization, Yangwang is weaving modification culture into the fabric of U7 ownership, making it a central pillar of the driving experience.

The U7's journey has been one of unwavering commitment. Before its launch, Yangwang invested in 758 test vehicles and accumulated over 10.49 million kilometers of actual testing—more than 340 times the new national standard—to create a sports sedan that is both fast and stable, both agile and comfortable, both high-performance and durable. From setting the world record in the moose test at 95.78 km/h, to conquering the 37.5-degree Yabuli ice jump, to maintaining stability during a 160 km/h dual-wheel blowout and a 100 km/h high-speed lateral rear-end collision, to completing 77 consecutive launch control starts with zero performance degradation, and finally to the 8-day, 19-hour, and 58-minute 30,000-kilometer endurance world record—the U7 perfectly embodies Yangwang's philosophy of "No extremes, no Yangwang."

Looking ahead, Yangwang will continue to journey with all its owners toward even greater distances and broader horizons.
