What engine does the BYD Tang use?
2 Answers
BYD Tang uses a 2.0T engine with the model code BYD487ZQA. The engine can refer to both the power generation device and the entire machine including the power unit (such as gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Its types include internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), gas turbines (used in racing cars), electric motors, etc. The BYD Tang is a 5-door, 7-seat midsize SUV with dimensions of 4870 mm in length, 1940 mm in width, and 1720 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2820 mm. This vehicle is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power output of 141 kW, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The core of the BYD Tang's powertrain is its 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, which works in tandem with an electric motor. Having driven this car for almost a year, I find its standout feature to be the seamless collaboration between the engine and the battery. In city driving, it mostly relies on electricity, with the engine only kicking in when needed, such as during acceleration or on highways, and it remains remarkably quiet. As a hybrid, it boasts exceptionally low fuel consumption, averaging around 6 liters per 100 kilometers, which is much more economical than many pure gasoline cars. Additionally, with the support of DM-i technology, the driving experience is smooth yet powerful, with quick acceleration response, making it ideal for tech enthusiasts like me who enjoy exploring new innovations. For those who frequently travel long distances or go on weekend trips, this system is highly practical, balancing energy efficiency and performance.
