How long does it take to pick up the BYD Tang DM-i?
2 Answers
New orders require a waiting period of 3.5 months for delivery. Below are the relevant details: Configuration: The Tang DM-i emphasizes NVH performance, transmission efficiency, and fuel economy. According to official data, even the heaviest model, the Tang DM-i Flagship, can achieve 5.5L/100km in electric loss mode (without charging at all), with a comprehensive fuel-based driving range exceeding 1,000km. This is undoubtedly the core competitiveness of the DM-i series. Design Concept: However, BYD's DM-i emphasizes the attributes of domestic vehicles in terms of material accumulation, with the most typical case being the battery section. As a plug-in hybrid, the Tang DM-i offers two blade battery options: 8.3kWh and 21.5kWh, supporting pure electric driving ranges of 52km and 112km, respectively.
I just picked up my BYD Tang DM-i, and the whole process took about four months because I opted for the popular hybrid top trim version, ordered here in Shanghai. I asked the dealer earlier, and they said this model is in particularly high demand right now, with its excellent battery technology and fuel efficiency, so the order queue is packed, leading to longer wait times. If you're in a hurry, I'd suggest checking multiple dealerships for comparison or opting for standard configurations and colors, which might be quicker. Also, during the waiting period, remember to regularly follow up with the dealer to confirm the progress—don’t just wait passively. You can also study the manual in advance to familiarize yourself with the features. BYD's supply chain occasionally fluctuates, and waiting periods vary significantly by city, with second- and third-tier cities possibly having slightly shorter waits. In short, buying a car requires patience—stay informed and don’t let the waiting period go to waste.
