Chinese automaker, Build Your Dreams (BYD), has officially opened its all-terrain circuit in Zhengzhou, China, designed to allow visitors to explore diverse driving scenarios, including vehicle water-crossing, indoor sand dune climbing and off-roading.

Designed specifically for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), BYD’s Zhengzhou all-terrain circuit boasts eight experience zones, including an Indoor Sand Dune.

Featuring a 29.6-meter vertical drop and a 28-degree slope, the Guinness World Record certified indoor sand dunes offers visitors an authentic dune-bashing experience.

There is also a 70-meter-long water crossing pool that is exclusively designed for the Yangwang U8 – a $160k SUV that has the ability to wade and drive on water under emergency scenarios.

BYD’s new circuit also features a 1,758-meter race track that includes nine curves and a 550-meter straight acceleration section.

There is also a 15,300-square-meter dynamic paddock that features over a dozen scenarios, such as standard slalom, moose testing and automated parking.

In addition to the new all-terrain circuit, BYD has partnered with the Federation of Automobile and Motorcycle Sports of China (CAMF) for the “New Track Scheme”, targeting 1 million people to get off the track.
