I just drove the BYD Tang and Song, and I feel the main differences lie in their size and purpose. The Tang is bigger and more imposing, perfect for family trips with its spacious third-row seats and ample luggage space. The Song, on the other hand, is more compact and agile, making it easy to navigate through city streets and park with ease. Price-wise, the Tang is more expensive, with a starting price several ten thousand higher, but its DM-p performance is impressive, accelerating like a sports car, while the Song's plug-in hybrid is more economical for daily driving. Both have solid range, but the Tang's larger battery allows it to go farther. Safety features are similar, with both offering intelligent driving assistance. Overall, if you frequently take long trips or have a large family, go for the Tang; for singles or small families commuting, the Song is a more cost-effective choice.
