The Tang EV currently has 9 models on sale, with a curb weight ranging from 2250 to 2455 kg. It is a 5-door, 7-seat SUV with dimensions of 487019501725 mm. In the same class, the Audi Q3 2022 model has a curb weight of 1570 kg, while the Explorer 2020 model weighs 1997 kg. In terms of power, the Tang New Energy 2021 EV has three models: the Four-Wheel Drive High-Performance Edition Genesis Flagship, the Four-Wheel Drive High-Performance Edition Honor, and the Long-Range Edition Honor. All are equipped with permanent magnet/synchronous motors and a single-speed transmission for electric vehicles. The number of drive motors is dual for all models. In terms of other configurations, all or some models of the Tang New Energy 2021 EV are equipped with features such as front/side airbags for the driver and passenger, front/rear head airbags (curtain), ISOFIX child seat anchors, driving assistance imaging, and a rear cross-traffic alert system. It is important to note that the driving performance of the Tang DM is positively correlated with battery charge. When the battery is sufficiently charged, the smoothness of the power section is excellent because the electric motor can be used for driving, avoiding engine start-up and gear shifting by the transmission. In this scenario, even when using the hybrid mode, the smoothness of gear shifting is maintained at a high level with the assistance of the electric motor.

The Tang EV typically weighs around 2,300 kg, with slight variations depending on the configuration—for instance, the top trim may be slightly heavier at 2,400 kg. As a pure electric SUV, the battery pack is a major contributor, accounting for several hundred kilograms. Combined with the high-strength frame and protective structure, the curb weight is naturally substantial. The heavy body ensures exceptional stability at high speeds, with low wind resistance and enhanced safety, though the downside is slightly higher energy consumption, which may reduce the actual range by a few dozen kilometers compared to the official figures. The driving experience is solid, with minimal bumpiness over rough roads, though parking requires a bit more patience due to the larger turning radius caused by the weight. When choosing a vehicle, it's important to consider the impact of weight—such as savings on daily commuting costs, but requiring more planning for long-distance trips due to slower charging compared to fuel-powered cars. However, the peace of mind it offers for family use makes it worthwhile.

The Tang EV weighs approximately 2300kg, and after driving it for nearly two years, what stands out most is how stable the heavy body feels, especially in congested urban areas where it doesn't sway. The battery's significant weight means that on a full charge, it realistically doesn't cover 400 kilometers, requiring more frequent charging on long trips. The weight also affects handling—taking corners a bit slower but with strong grip, and no slipping in the rain. The upside of the weight is excellent sound insulation and low noise levels, making it easy for kids to sleep soundly in the back seat. A notable downside is the difficulty in maneuvering in narrow parking spots in residential areas, so opting for a wider space is advisable. Overall, the weight is crucial for both range and safety, so a test drive is recommended before purchase to fully appreciate its impact.

The Tang EV weighs approximately 2,300 kg, which has dual implications from an environmental perspective. Battery production consumes more resources, but as an electric vehicle, its carbon footprint over the entire lifecycle is significantly lower than that of gasoline-powered cars. A heavier body provides better protection in accidents, improving safety and reducing harm to pedestrians, but the increased weight leads to higher electricity consumption per kilometer, reducing range. From a sustainability standpoint, advancements in material recycling, such as battery reuse, can mitigate weight-related issues. Considering carbon footprint when purchasing a car is crucial.
