The Yuanhang Y6 is a battery electric luxury executive sedan produced by the Chinese manufacturer Yuanhang Auto.
Overview
The Y6 was initially previewed at the Yuanhang brand launch at the 2022 Chengdu Auto Show,[1] before it was officially revealed at the 2023 Chengdu Auto Show in August, and went on sale on December 18, 2023 after starting production on November 8.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
The vehicle is based on Yuanhang's BHD (Beyond the Horizon of Drive) electric vehicle platform developed co-developed by Bosch and Huawei.[8] The exterior has a grille-less design and a fastback shape, paired with frameless doors and hidden door handles.[4]
The interior features a vertical 17.4-inch center console infotainment display, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster[4] and a 70-inch augmented reality head-up display, all using Alibaba-developed AliOS software running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 SoC.[9] It has a 3.2 m2 (34 sq ft) dual-panel panoramic sunroof, with the rear panel extending to the back of the cabin to serve as the rear window. It has a 19-speaker sound system, with an optional 27-speaker system available.[3][4] The outboard rear seats have independent power seatback angle adjustment. The center rear seat folds down into an armrest containing a wireless charging pad and a touchscreen display for controlling climate, seating functions, and media.
The Y6 supports fast charging, taking 30 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%.[9] It has an optional V2L system capable of up to 3.3kW.[3]

Powertrain
The Y6 is available with only battery electric powertrains using an 800V architecture in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Rear-wheel drive models are powered by an electric motor outputting 335 hp (250 kW; 340 PS) and 400 N⋅m (295 lb⋅ft) of torque. All-wheel drive models add a front motor outputting an additional 335 hp (250 kW; 340 PS) and 345 N⋅m (254 lb⋅ft) of torque.[5][10]
Initially, both powertrains were offered with a choice of two NMC battery packs: a Farasis-supplied 88.42 kWh pack providing a CLTC range rating of 720 km (447 mi) or 620 km (385 mi) for rear and all-wheel drive variants respectively, or a 98 kWh pack supplied by Eve Energy with a range rating of 810 km (503 mi) or 720 km (447 mi) for rear and all-wheel drive models respectively. For the 2024 model year, a new rear-wheel drive configuration was offered with an Eve Energy-supplied 81.1 kWh NMC pack, providing 660 kilometres (410 mi) of range.[5][10]
All versions of the Y6 have a top speed of 205 km/h (127 mph). Rear-wheel drive variants all have a claimed 0–100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 5.9 seconds, while all-wheel drive variants do it in a claimed 3.2 seconds.[10]
At launch, the top version of the Y6 using a boosted 520 kW (697 hp; 707 PS) version of the all-wheel drive powertrain was offered with a 150 kWh battery pack providing 1,020 kilometres (634 mi) of CLTC rated range, but it was no longer listed for the 2024 model year.[10]
