I've driven both the BYD Song and Tang, and the obvious differences lie in their size and space. The Song is more like a compact SUV, with a smaller size and a body length of about 4.7 meters, making it easy to park. I use the Song for family purposes, with a five-seat layout—the kids are comfortable in the back, and the trunk can fit a stroller and shopping bags. The Tang is much larger, exceeding 4.8 meters in length, offering ample legroom for taller passengers. It features a seven-seat design, ideal for family trips or vacations with elderly relatives. In terms of performance, the Song's DM-i hybrid system is smooth and fuel-efficient, making it economical for daily commutes. The Tang, on the other hand, is more powerful, with acceleration that feels almost like a sports car—especially the hybrid AWD version, which is great for mountainous areas. Price-wise, the Song starts at around 150,000 RMB, offering great value for money. The Tang is about 30,000–40,000 RMB more expensive, delivering a more luxurious feel but stretching the budget further. If you're single or have a small family, the Song is the top choice. If you want something more imposing and premium, go for the Tang. Maintenance for the Song is affordable, while the Tang can occasionally be a bit costly.
