BYD Great Tang is doing well in China. Is this large SUV now aiming for Europe?
BYD Great Tang continues to sell well in China. Since its launch in June, over 40,222 units of this large SUV have been sold, with monthly sales exceeding 10,000 units. This is a significant achievement for this flagship model in the Dynasty series, which will make its European debut at the beginning of 2027.
BYD Great Tang: A Rapid Start
Great Tang is the first D-segment SUV in the Dynasty family and represents the largest and most advanced model in the lineup. Its commercial launch in China came in mid-June, following a particularly intense pre-sale period. Within just two weeks, orders exceeded 100,000, rising to over 150,000 before sales began.
The most interesting figure, however, is the continuity after its launch. With 13,010 units sold in September, the Great Tang has exceeded 10,000 vehicles sold for three consecutive months, reaching a total of over 40,200 units.
Over 5 meters and 950 km of range
This SUV is very popular in China due to its extra-large dimensions: 5.26 meters in length, 1.99 meters in width, and 1.80 meters in height, with a wheelbase of 3.130 meters. It is thus larger than similar European and Korean models — such as the Hyundai Ioniq 9 or Kia EV9 — and can accommodate up to seven people.
The vehicle is available both as a pure electric model and as a plug-in hybrid, equipped with high-capacity second-generation Blade batteries. The Premium electric version comes with a 105.79 kWh battery, while the Flagship variant uses a 130.15 kWh battery.
The most powerful electric version claims a range of up to 950 km according to the Chinese CLTC cycle. The 1,000 Volt electric architecture, combined with BYD’s Flash Charging fast charging technology, is also noteworthy. According to the manufacturer’s claims, the Great Tang can go from 10% to 70% charge in five minutes and from 10% to 97% charge in nine minutes.
Europe on the radar. Meanwhile, BYD is growing in Italy
Given its impressive performance, the Great Tang is unlikely to remain limited to China. In fact, BYD’s executives have indicated early 2027 as a possible timeframe for the model to enter international markets, including Europe. Of course, the technical specifications and pricing tailored to our region still need to be confirmed.
The interest in this model comes at a favorable time for BYD in our country. In September, the brand recorded 5,161 registrations in Italy, accounting for 3.7% of the market share, with a 108.9% increase compared to the same month in 2025. In the first nine months of the year, registrations totaled 41,697.
