BYD’s luxury arm Yangwang has revealed the Altior, an all-electric sedan that takes on the likes of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. The four-seater made its global debut in Abu Dhabi, and according to the brand, its design takes inspiration from the ‘ding’, an ancient Chinese ceremonial bronze vessel. Under the skin, it gets four electric motors and a claimed CLTC range of over 1,000km. Power figures and global prices are yet to be revealed.
