Why Does the BYD Tang Have Over 600 Horsepower?
2 Answers
BYD Tang utilizes a self-developed 2.0T inline four-cylinder engine with a maximum power output of 151kW and a peak torque of 320N·m. In terms of the electric drive system, the front motor delivers a maximum power of 110kW, while the rear motor provides 180kW. When converted, this combination results in over 600 horsepower. Midsize SUV: The BYD Tang is a midsize SUV under the BYD brand. The all-new generation Tang has been officially launched, offering three different drivetrain options: gasoline, plug-in hybrid, and pure electric. Dimensions: In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4870mm in length, 1940mm in width, 1720mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2820mm.
The BYD Tang can output over 600 horsepower because it adopts BYD's proprietary DM-p super hybrid technology. This system combines a turbocharged engine with two high-power electric motors. The front engine provides over 200 horsepower, while the front and rear motors each contribute approximately 150 to 200 horsepower, easily surpassing 600 when combined. The engine portion utilizes a 1.5T or 2.0T gasoline engine responsible for mid-to-high-speed output, while the electric motors deliver maximum torque at low RPMs, ensuring ultra-fast acceleration response. This hybrid layout avoids the fuel consumption issues of traditional high-horsepower SUVs, as it prioritizes battery power in pure electric mode and switches to hybrid mode for optimized efficiency during long-distance driving. I particularly appreciate how its intelligent electronic control system coordinates power distribution, automatically balancing engine and motor output during off-road or high-speed scenarios. Overall, BYD's efficient modular design seamlessly integrates the three power sources, allowing the Tang to deliver sports car-level performance while maintaining family-friendly comfort.
