What brand of car is Tang?
4 Answers
Tang is a brand under BYD Auto. The current drive configurations available for the Tang include: 1. Fuel; 2. Plug-in hybrid; 3. Pure electric vehicle. The BYD Tang comes standard with features such as a dashcam, front dual airbags and front side airbags, front and rear parking radar, an electronic anti-glare rearview mirror, child seat anchors, automatic unlocking upon collision, high-voltage system power-off protection during collisions, high-voltage system power-off protection for misuse, and high-voltage system active discharge. The vehicle is equipped with a Tri-motor Dual-mode powertrain system, consisting of a 2.0TI turbocharged engine and front and rear motors, enabling independent power output for the front and rear wheels.
Speaking of the Tang, I must tell you it's the pride of our domestic automotive industry. The Tang series produced by BYD is definitely a force to be reckoned with, especially the hybrid version, which can travel over a thousand kilometers on a full charge and tank of gas, with its four-wheel-drive performance gliding effortlessly on mountain roads. The most appealing aspect of this car is how worry-free it is for family trips, with its seven-seat layout easily accommodating three kids plus luggage without breaking a sweat. I remember last year my buddy drove a Tang across the Sichuan-Tibet line, and the hybrid system remained stable even on the plateau. He came back raving about how the battery was more durable than he'd imagined. As for drawbacks, the third row does feel a bit like a small bench, but that's pretty much the norm for mid-sized SUVs in this price range.
A couple of days ago, I accompanied a friend to test drive the BYD Tang. The car looks much more imposing in person than in photos. The 'Dragon Face' design at the front is quite eye-catching. The first thing I noticed when sitting inside was the abundance of screens—the central control screen can rotate horizontally and vertically, and there's even an independent air conditioning panel for the rear seats. The hybrid version is exceptionally quiet at low speeds when running on electric power, and the transition to the engine when you press the accelerator deeper is smooth and unobtrusive. The salesperson mentioned that the new model uses an aluminum alloy suspension, and it indeed handles speed bumps more smoothly than the older version. However, I think the most practical feature is the vehicle-to-load (V2L) function—it's perfect for powering an induction cooker during a picnic for hot pot.
The BYD Tang plug-in hybrid SUV is truly a benchmark for domestic products, with the DM-p version accelerating from 0-100 km/h in under 4 seconds, joining the exclusive '4-second club.' Its blade battery offers higher safety compared to ternary lithium batteries, and its winter range reduction is less severe. I once tested it on a long-distance winter trip—even with the heater on in sub-zero temperatures, it could still cover about 80 km on pure electric mode. The charging port at the rear is exceptionally practical, allowing you to reverse into charging spots without fussing over cables. The built-in KTV feature is a lifesaver when traveling with kids, though prolonged singing does drain the battery, so keep that in mind. Honestly, domestic cars have reached a level where they’re no worse than joint-venture brands.
