The BYD Tang is a crossover SUV manufactured by BYD Auto, available as an all-electric, a plug-in hybrid or a conventional ICE vehicle. The vehicle is the second model of BYD's "Dynasty" series passenger vehicles, and gets its name from the Tang Dynasty, the most prosperous of all the great Chinese Dynasties.[1]

The first-generation BYD Tang was introduced at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show and was available as a plug-in hybrid only. Retail deliveries began in China in June 2015.[2] The Tang was the top selling plug-in electric passenger car in China in 2016,[3] and the world's top selling plug-in hybrid in 2016. Also, the Tang ranked as the world's third best-selling plug-in car that year.[4] Since inception, 101,518 units were sold in China through December 2018.[3][5][6][7][needs update]

The second-generation BYD Tang debuted at Auto China in April 2018.[8] In the all-electric variant, known as the BYD Tang 600 and 600D, the battery capacity is 82.8 kWh (298 MJ).[9] That variant went on sale in Europe (in Norway) in 2021.[10][11][12]

The BYD Tang is a plug-in hybrid crossover utility vehicle (CUV) developed by BYD based on the BYD S6. Its 18.4 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack delivers an all-electric range of 80 km (50 mi). The Tang was introduced at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show[1] and was produced to at least 2018.

Specifications[]

The Tang is powered by a 2.0-liter internal combustion engine which delivers 151 kW (202 hp) and 320 N⋅m (240 lbf⋅ft) of torque; and two electric motors, front and rear, each rated at 110 kW (150 hp) and 250 N⋅m (180 lbf⋅ft) in the entry-level Tang, and 300 N⋅m (220 lbf⋅ft) in the performance model. Total system output is 371 kW (498 hp) and 820 N⋅m (600 lbf⋅ft) for the entry-level model, and 411 kW (551 hp) and 870 N⋅m (640 lbf⋅ft) for the concept performance model. The latter accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and the entry level in 4.9 seconds. The Tang is fitted with BYD's second generation Dual Mode (DM) system which allows drivers to switch between all-electric mode (EV mode) and hybrid electric mode (HEV mode).[1] This vehicle is an electric version of the BYD S7.

Chronology
PredecessorBYD Tang I

Featuring BYD's new family design language and previewed by the BYD Dynasty concept car in 2017, the second generation BYD Tang with completely redesigned exterior and interior debuted at Auto China in April 2018. The new model line will include purely gasoline powered versions and pure electric versions (Tang EV600 and EV600D)[16] besides plug-in hybrid ones, with powertrains exactly the same as the first generation.[8] The Tang will be also the first vehicle to be exported to Europe, starting with Norway in "late summer" of 2021.[17][18]

2021 facelift and DM-i[]

The Tang DM received a facelift for the 2021 model year alongside the introduction of the DM-i hybrid powertrain. The 2021 model year of the Tang DM and DM-i models both receive the updated front and rear bumper designs. The BYD DM-i powertrain is constructed with a 1.5 liter turbo engine powered plug-in hybrid system. The Tang DM-i is available as two models with a pure electric range of 52km and 112km respectively, with a total combined cruising range of 1050km. The BYD Tang DM-i is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate “blade battery”. The fuel consumption is 5.3L/100km and 5.5L/100km for the two trim models respectively, and its 0-100km/h acceleration time is 8.5s.[19]


The 1.5L turbo engine is specifically built to accommodate the company’s DM-i hybrid technology. In order to achieve high thermal efficiency, BYD designed the engine with compression ratio (CR) of 15.5, an increased B/S (Bore to Stroke) ratio, an Atkinson cycle for improved combustion efficiency, an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, and a series of friction-reducing measures.[20]
