Different engines: BYD Tang is equipped with a 2.0t turbocharged engine; BYD Song is equipped with a 1.5t turbocharged engine.
I drove the BYD Song for a while and now switched to the Tang, and the difference is quite noticeable. The Song is light and fuel-efficient, easy to maneuver in the city without much effort, with fuel costs just a few cents per kilometer, making it ideal for commuting or small families. The space isn't large; the back seat fits two adults comfortably but gets cramped with three kids. The interior has a plastic feel but is durable. The Tang is different—it's significantly larger, with an optional third row of seats, making family trips with luggage a breeze. In terms of power, it's more robust, especially the DM-p version, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of around 5 seconds, providing stable overtaking on highways. The interior is much more luxurious, featuring heated seats and better sound insulation, but the starting price is over 50,000 yuan higher. However, fuel consumption is slightly higher, meaning more costs for city driving. It depends on whether you prioritize affordability or an upgraded experience.
