The Yangwang Altior (Chinese: 仰望鼎耀; pinyin: Yǎngwàng Dǐngyào) is an upcoming full-size luxury sedan manufactured by BYD Auto under their flagship Yangwang brand. The Altior is the brand's second sedan after the smaller U7, and is set to be its flagship vehicle.

History

Prior to its release, spy shots of the Altior were obtained while it was still referred to under its codename, HU.

On 27 October 2026, an official teaser and statement was released by Yangwang, showing the model's silhouette and partially revealing some design elements. In addition, both its Chinese and English names were revealed.

This is the first Yangwang model to feature a unique word-based name instead of alphanumerical names (e.g. U7), and a unique Chinese and English name. According to Yangwang, the English name "Altior" was taken from Latin and has the definition of "higher", while the Chinese name "鼎耀" expresses the spirit of a "contemporary creator".

Yangwang has officially confirmed that the model will be unveiled in the UAE.
