What is the long-distance fuel consumption of the BYD Tang DM?
2 Answers
The long-distance fuel consumption of the BYD Tang DM is 6 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers. Items to check before a long-distance trip include: 1. The brake system needs to be inspected to see if the brake pads are too thin—if they are thinner than 2mm, they need to be replaced; 2. Check the tires for cracks—if cracks are present, they need to be replaced; 3. Inspect the vehicle's lighting system, including headlights, brake lights, turn signals, fog lights, and reverse lights; 4. Check whether the engine oil is within the specified range; 5. Inspect the vehicle's electronic control system. Taking the 2021 BYD Tang DM as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4870mm, width 1950mm, height 1725mm, wheelbase 2820mm, fuel tank capacity 53 liters, and curb weight 2250kg.
Last time I drove the BYD Tang DM on a long-distance trip from Shenzhen to Xiamen, covering over 500 kilometers in hybrid mode. Based on my experience, the average fuel consumption was around 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, with little variation when maintaining speeds between 100 to 120 km/h. Using air conditioning or carrying heavy loads could increase the upper limit of fuel consumption to about 11 liters. I paid special attention to maintaining a steady speed, avoiding sudden acceleration and hard braking, which saved a significant amount of fuel. When the car's battery ran out, the engine would kick in, but the energy recovery system helped reduce waste. After the long trip, I felt it was much more economical than a pure gasoline car, while still offering the convenience of short-distance pure electric driving. Overall, this car performs stably on highways with reasonable fuel consumption, making it a good option for people who frequently travel for business.
