Has the production capacity of BYD Tang DM-i been increased?

Yes, it has increased. The production capacity of BYD Tang DM-i is 700 units per month. Below are the specific details: Highlights: The most obvious benefit of the DM-i system is fuel efficiency. The official minimum charge-sustaining fuel consumption for the Tang DM-i is 5.5L/100km. Currently, the benchmark for fuel consumption in mid-size SUVs is the Highlander with dual-engine technology, which has a combined NEDC fuel consumption of 5.3L per 100km, almost on par with the Tang DM-i. What is most impressive is its smoothness and ease of handling. Thanks to the strategy of using a large motor and battery, the Tang DM-i can achieve very quick power response within the speed range of 0-120km/h, without the delay of waiting for gear shifts like traditional fuel-powered cars. Low engine noise: What is most commendable is that even when accelerating hard, the engine noise inside the Tang DM-i remains minimal, as if muffled by layers of sponge. If driven at a normal pace, the Tang DM-i is as quiet as a pure electric vehicle, and even when the engine starts and intervenes, it is hardly noticeable.
As a former owner of the BYD Tang DM-i, I can definitely feel the increase in production capacity. In the past, you had to wait several months to get the car, but now my friend just ordered one and it was delivered in less than a month—much faster than before. I know BYD started expanding production last year, especially in the hybrid SUV market, where the Tang DM-i is in high demand, so the factories must be working overtime to keep up. This also means better inventory availability and more configuration options, unlike before when popular models were hard to come by. Looking at the bigger picture, BYD's new energy vehicle sales keep rising, and as a flagship product, the Tang DM-i naturally gets priority in production scaling. The increased capacity isn’t surprising, given the huge market and positive user feedback. As a long-time user like me, I hope this trend continues so more people can easily get their hands on a great car.
