The engine of the BYD Tang fuel version is independently developed by BYD, meaning it is a BYD-branded engine. Strictly speaking, the key technologies of the engine are developed by BYD themselves, while some components are mainly sourced externally, as there are no domestic alternatives that meet the required standards. These components include the ignition coil, thermostat, oxygen sensor, dual-mass flywheel, crankshaft sensor, timing chain, timing sensor, etc. More details about the BYD Tang are as follows: 1. The latest model of the BYD Tang fuel version currently on sale is the 2019 model, with an official guide price ranging from 129,900 to 169,900 yuan. It is positioned as a mid-size SUV. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4870/1940/1720 mm in length, width, and height, respectively, with a wheelbase of 2820 mm. It is available in both 7-seat and 5-seat configurations. 2. The powertrain comes in two variants. The first variant is equipped with a high-power version of a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It delivers a maximum power of 151 kW, maximum horsepower of 205 PS, and maximum torque of 320 N·m. All models are front-wheel drive. The second variant features a low-power version of the 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, also paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It produces a maximum power of 141 kW, maximum horsepower of 192 PS, and maximum torque of 320 N·m. All models are front-wheel drive.
I've been driving the BYD Tang fuel version for almost a year now. The car is equipped with BYD's self-developed 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, model BYD476ZQA. I feel the power is quite sufficient for daily driving, with quick acceleration from a standstill and easy overtaking in the city. The average fuel consumption is about 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers, which isn't too bad, and it can drop to around 7 liters when cruising on the highway. The engine noise is well controlled, making long drives comfortable without feeling noisy. The smoothness is excellent, especially when paired with the six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Maintenance isn't a hassle either; changing the oil and filter at a local repair shop costs less than a hundred yuan. As an owner, I think BYD's independent R&D capability is strong, and this system is reliable and durable, suitable for daily commuters like me. When I bought it, the salesperson emphasized that it's a source of national pride, and driving it really gives that steady feeling. I haven't encountered any faults so far.
As an automotive technology enthusiast, the engine in the BYD Tang gasoline version is independently developed by their own brand, specifically named BYD476ZQA, with a 2.0T displacement and turbocharging technology. It delivers a maximum output of 192 horsepower, offering very responsive power, especially with strong torque burst in the low RPM range, which is not inferior compared to some international brands. I've test-driven it several times and noticed it features direct fuel injection design, providing high fuel efficiency and working in tandem with auto start-stop to save fuel. The engine's cooling system is well-optimized, showing no signs of thermal degradation even during long-distance drives in hot weather. The overall integration is excellent, delivering a smooth and comfortable driving experience, suitable for those who enjoy driving pleasure. BYD has made significant progress in this area over the years, which is truly worth discussing.
