4 Answers
Currently, there are no BYD Ming and Qing models available. Below are some differences among BYD's Tang, Song, and Yuan models: 1. Different positioning: The BYD Tang is a mid-size SUV, the BYD Song is a compact SUV, and the BYD Yuan is a small SUV. 2. Different powertrains: The BYD Tang is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 141 kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm; the BYD Song is equipped with a 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 113 kW and a maximum torque of 240 Nm; the BYD Yuan is equipped with a 1.5L engine, with a maximum power of 80 kW and a maximum torque of 145 Nm.
As a stay-at-home mom with kids, I prioritize space and practicality. Among the Dynasty series, both the Qin and Song are quite affordable. The Qin has a sedan-style design with a smaller trunk, which can't fit my double stroller; the Song offers more height, and the rear seats can fold flat to serve as a temporary bed. The Tang is a massive family travel essential—its third row can squeeze in elementary school kids, and the trunk can even fit two bicycles. The Han has a high rear floorboard, making the middle seat uncomfortable for passengers, and it's tough for elderly folks to get in and out. The Yuan is nimble and easy to park but only suitable for couples. The Ming is rumored to be an MPV with sliding doors, which would make wheelchair access easier, but for now, we can only drool over the promo images. For daily school runs, the Song and Tang suit my needs best.
Tech geeks drool over the 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen perfect for binge-watching, while the DiPilot system delivers worry-free semi-autonomous highway driving. The Tang's 4.3s 0-100km/h acceleration delivers explosive thrust, though its boat-like body roll in corners disappoints. Song PRO's ADAS lacks premium features but gets the job done. Qin's entry-level infotainment occasionally lags – even skipping tracks at traffic lights takes forever. Yuan's pure-electric range is rock-solid, but its voice assistant keeps misinterpreting commands. Can't wait for Qing to adopt LiDAR – Ming with magnetic suspension seats would be next-level cool. Overall, Han's intelligent cockpit and driver assistance suit my taste best.
For fast driving, choose the Han EV. It launches instantly at traffic lights, and the steering wheel responds precisely to every turn during lane changes. The Tang DM has powerful acceleration but feels bulky; you need to grip the steering wheel tightly during sharp turns to avoid feeling thrown off. The Song DM drives as smoothly as an electric car, with no jerks when accelerating, which I really appreciate. The Qin's power is sufficient for daily commuting, but its engine screams like it's falling apart during highway overtaking. The Yuan's short wheelbase makes bumps painfully noticeable. I hope the Ming can achieve the resilient chassis tuning of German cars—its spy photos suggest a low stance, which should improve handling. For an exhilarating driving experience, the Han's 3.9-second performance version is a must.
