2 Answers
The BYD Tang accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.45 seconds. Taking the 2021 BYD Tang as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with the following dimensions: length 4870 mm, width 1940 mm, height 1720 mm, wheelbase 2820 mm, fuel tank capacity 68 liters, and curb weight 1895 kg. The 2021 BYD Tang features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 230 hp, maximum torque of 350 Nm, and maximum power of 169 kW. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
During my last test drive of the BYD Tang, I paid special attention to its acceleration performance. The salesperson told me the new Tang DM-p can go from 0-100km/h in 4.3 seconds, and the actual experience was truly astonishing. In sport mode, when flooring the accelerator, it felt like being sucked into the seat as the surrounding scenery rushed backward. Compared to the fuel-powered SUVs I've driven before, the electric all-wheel drive provides exceptional grip with absolutely no sense of slippage. This acceleration is incredibly useful for daily overtaking - passing large trucks on highways requires just a light tap on the accelerator. However, I'd recommend beginners start with standard mode to adapt, as the sudden burst of over 400 horsepower might be overwhelming. When driving my kids, I always drive gently since safety is more important than thrills, but this explosive power can truly be a lifesaver when needed.
