At an exchange rate of around 29,250 euros, a Chinese customer can now reserve an electric SUV over five meters long, with 408 horsepower and an approved range of 850 kilometers. It’s the new Tang. The new generation of BYD’s large Dynasty SUV family has just started pre-orders in China, available in three versions with prices ranging from 225,000 to 260,000 yuan, which translates to 29,250 to 33,800 euros at the current exchange rate. The Tang was one of BYD’s first cars to reach Spain around 2023.

It has been a month since BYD introduced to the world the third generation of a model that has been on the market for over a decade. It arrives with a significant shift in approach: it abandons the seven-seater configuration and sticks to five seats, as the role of the three-row family SUV now falls to the larger BYD Da Tang. Dealers are already receiving the first units, so its arrival on Chinese roads is imminent.

A 408 HP rear engine or two engines totaling 700 HP

As usual, BYD offers various mechanical configurations. The two rear-wheel-drive versions, which differ only in their equipment, are equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor producing 408 horsepower, delivering an estimated range of 850 kilometers (CLTC). The all-wheel-drive version adds an asynchronous motor with 292 horsepower on the front axle. Together, they provide a total power output of 700 horsepower, though this reduces the range to 770 kilometers (CLTC).

The power comes from second-generation Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries manufactured by FinDreams, BYD’s components subsidiary. There are two capacities, 88.6 and 105.8 kWh, though the brand has not specified which battery is used in each version. The SUV is also compatible with BYD’s ultra-fast Flash Charging, but there are still no figures available for its charging power or time. According to an initial announcement, it should be able to charge from 10% to 80% of its battery in less than 5 minutes.

Pneumatic suspension and cage body

Beneath its body, the Tang features an independent double-wishbone front suspension paired with an independent five-link rear suspension. BYD also introduces its DiSus-A dual-chamber air suspension, though rumors in China suggest that lower-end versions might use the DiSus-C suspension with adaptive damping. We’ll have to wait for the full specifications at launch to confirm this.

The body uses a cage-style structure with 13 horizontal and 9 vertical reinforcements, and all trims come standard with 11 airbags. It also includes the TBC system, which helps maintain stability if a tire bursts at high speeds.

Over five meters long, five seats, and two trunks

According to the certification published by China’s Ministry of Industry, the new Tang is 5,045 mm long, 1,980 mm wide, and 1,740 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,950 mm. These are typical dimensions for an E-segment SUV, and evidence of this can be seen inside: the second row offers 1,003 mm of legroom, and its seats recline up to 130 degrees.

The rear trunk has a capacity of 910 liters, which increases to 2,098 liters when the second row is folded down. There is also a 205-liter trunk in the front, featuring electric opening and a drain, a very practical feature for storing charging cables or a wet umbrella. Inside the cabin, the four main seats are covered in Nappa leather and come equipped with ventilation, heating, and ten-point massage functions.

A price that could still drop

The pre-order figures are not final and may be adjusted downward. This was the case with the Da Tang: it had a pre-order price range of 250,000 to 320,000 yuan, but went on sale in June at 239,900 yuan, which is about 31,190 euros. BYD has not yet confirmed whether this generation will reach Europe. Currently, the electric Tang sold in Spain comes in seven-seater configuration with a single trim level at 72,000 euros, more than double the price it will cost in China.
