Specifications
[edit]The U9 is equipped with fourelectric motorsproviding a total power output of 960 kW (1,290 hp) and a maximum range of 450 km (280 mi) on theChina Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle(CLTC). BYD reported a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 2.36 seconds, and a1⁄4mi (402 m)drag racetime of 9.78 seconds. The official top speed of the U9 is 309.19 km/h (192.12 mph).[1]
The U9 is built with an 800V electrical architecture, with a maximumDCcharging power of 500 kW. The charging duration between 30% and 80% is 10 minutes. The U9 also supports dual charging, or plugging in two charging guns simultaneously to increase charging speed.
Like the U8, the U9 features BYD's proprietary "e4"( dịch tứ phương )individual wheel drivesystem, which enables the vehicle to redistributetorqueamong the four wheels in case oftractionloss or atyre punctureat speed; and the "DiSus" ( vân liễn )active suspensionsystem, which allows the wheels'ground clearanceto be readjusted individually and even to perform a briefvertical jump.[4]The active suspension consists of three different systems; DiSus-C controls variable damping, DiSus-A controls theair suspension,and DiSus-P controls the hydraulic system.[5]Regarding the vertical jump, the U9 will shrink first, then bounce up, launching all four wheels off the ground at the same time.[4]BYD has not announced the specific reason for the jump function on the U9, but the function demonstrates the "DiSus-X" body control system.
