It takes about a month to pick up the car. The following is a related introduction to the BYD Tang: 1. Overview: The BYD Tang (English name: BYD-Don, the all-new Tang) is a mid-size SUV under BYD. The all-new Tang has been officially launched, offering three different drivetrain models: fuel-powered (all-new Tang), plug-in hybrid (all-new Tang DM), and pure electric (all-new Tang EV600). The fuel-powered and plug-in hybrid models are available in five-seat and seven-seat versions. All three models are built on BYD's BNA architecture-based BLP large luxury vehicle platform, with basically the same overall styling and adopting BYD's latest family-style "Dragon-Face" design concept. 2. Exterior: The all-new BYD Tang fuel model is based on the latest Dragon-Face design language, showing significant changes compared to the previous generation, mainly influenced by the ideas brought by former Audi design director Egger. The signature large-mouth grille is paired with LED headlights on both sides.
A few days ago, I accompanied a friend to order a car. The salesperson pointed at the schedule on the wall and said the waiting time for the Tang DM-i is quite long now. Popular configurations like the white Honor Edition basically take at least 3 months, especially in southern cities where there are more orders. If you choose less popular colors like Mountain Gray or configurations with vehicles already in transit, you might be lucky to drive it away in just one and a half months. The salesperson secretly mentioned that the factory's current production capacity is mainly for export, so domestic delivery times are much slower than last year. It's recommended to ask the salesperson to check the system inventory before placing an order, as some in-transit vehicles might actually allow you to jump the queue. Ordering at the end of the month when they're pushing for sales might also help you snag a car that someone else canceled.
I just picked up my Tang DM-i Champion Edition last month, and it took 103 days from placing the deposit to delivery. I checked the BYD app order status every day. The salesperson said the waiting time now mainly depends on the configuration - the base model actually takes longer than the top trim. Interestingly, delivery speeds vary significantly between different 4S stores. A friend who ordered later than me in the provincial capital got their car two weeks earlier. It's recommended to ask about the vehicle batch number when ordering - seeing the VIN means the car is about to roll off the production line. During the waiting period, you can arrange financing in advance. Insurance and vehicle inspection can be done on the same day you get the certificate of conformity.
As a frequent visitor to 4S dealerships in the auto trade industry, I've discovered a hidden trick for picking up the Tang DM-i: choosing the display or test drive vehicles at the dealership allows you to drive away immediately, usually with just a few hundred kilometers on the odometer and including a full set of complimentary gifts. If you don't mind, canceled orders also present opportunities for immediate vehicle availability. Currently, the average wait time for mid-range configurations is about 45 days, while high-end models can arrive in as little as 30 days. It's crucial to press the salesperson for the vehicle allocation number—only with this can you confirm the shipping progress. Northern cities generally receive vehicles half a month earlier than southern cities, a regional difference that's rarely mentioned.
