Reanne and Ben dive into the massive BYD showcase at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, an event that feels less like a car exhibition and more like a warning to Western automakers. The sheer scale is immediate—a whole hall dedicated to BYD's four brands. The energy peaks early when Wang Chuanfu, BYD's chairman (often called the Elon Musk of China), walks past, mobbed by fans. <br><br>The pair explore the Yangwang luxury lineup, featuring the U9 Extreme—the world's fastest production EV, hitting 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds. Ben sneaks into the cockpit before being politely asked out. The U7 sedan wows with its 'tank turn' ability, spinning on the spot thanks to individual wheel motors. Ben also highlights the U8 SUV, which can float on water for 30 minutes and detects a puncture in 0.2 seconds, despite weighing nearly three tons. <br><br>The Denza luxury brand shows off a convertible with Miami Beach vibes, while the Fangchengbao off-roaders are designed to rival Land Rovers. A standout is the Formula X supercar, unveiled for the first time, styled like a fighter jet in Hulk green. Reanne remarks it looks like something a superhero villain would drive. <br><br>The most game-changing demo is the fast-charging tech: 10% to 70% in just 5 minutes, and 90% in 9 minutes—even working in -30°C weather. Ben emphasizes that in China, charging stations are now more common than gas stations. The video captures a clear message: China's EV revolution isn't coming—it's already here, and the rest of the world is playing catch-up.
Reanne and Ben head to the 2026 Beijing Auto Show to tour a hall that feels less like a car show and more like a declaration of victory. From the 2.9-second hypercar to a floating SUV, BYD's dominance is impossible to ignore.
Reanne & Ben explore BYD's massive hall at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, experiencing futuristic EVs, a floating SUV, and record-fast charging that stuns.
