The 2022 BYD Tang EV will be available later this month priced from 280,000 to 350,000 Chinese Yuan.
The crossover now packs a 108.8-kWh traction battery that gives it up to 730 km (453 miles) of CLTC-rated driving range. The number is valid for the longest-range, single-motor modification.
The dual-motor, AWD variant has enough juice for 635 km (395 miles), but it also packs 517 PS (510 hp / 380 kW) and completes the standard sprint in 4.4 seconds. Finally, the entry spec with only one engine and a smaller battery can still do up to 600 km (373 miles) on a charge.
On the outside, the crossover sports a Dragon Face front fascia, but otherwise stays indistinguishable from the pre-facelift version featured in the video here. It also rides on new 21-inch wheels, but that is about all.
For the first time on record, the Tang offers second-row seats with armrests, power adjustments, heat, ventilation and massage all at once. Of course, you may still opt for a regular three-seat sofa and save money doing so.
The middle display measures 15.6 inches corner-to-corner and can be swiveled and rotated between portrait and landscape orientations. The infotainment system supports 5G, and the dashboard is backlit. An assist package called DiPilot provides semi-autonomous driving capabilities.
