On November 21, BYD unveiled its flagship SUV—Tang L—at the Guangzhou Auto Show. This model showcases updated exterior design and technological features. The Tang L EV is equipped with the super e-platform and the exclusive kilovolt architecture for “megawatt flash charging, equivalent speed of oil and electricity.”
The Tang L DM comes standard with the fifth-generation DM technology, balancing performance and efficiency. Both Tang L EV and Tang L DM come in three models, with post-subsidy prices ranging from 224,800 yuan to 274,800 yuan and 214,800 yuan to 270,800 yuan, respectively, offering benefits valued up to 45,000 yuan.
The Tang L EV comes equipped as standard with the super e-platform, featuring the world’s first mass-produced passenger car kilovolt high-voltage architecture, flash charging battery, and 30,000 RPM motor. Its peak charging power reaches 1000kW, allowing a 370-kilometer range with just a 5-minute charge. In terms of power performance, the Tang L EV has a single motor power output of up to 580kW, with the four-wheel-drive version offering a total of 1102 horsepower, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds, and achieving a top speed of over 287 km/h.
The hybrid version, Tang L DM, features fifth-generation DM technology, including DM-p and DM-i hybrid systems. The Tang L DM accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, with a minimum fuel efficiency of 4.9 liters per 100 km when the battery is depleted. It offers up to 215 kilometers of electric-only range and a combined range of 1,430 kilometers.
Design-wise, the Tang L exhibits an upscale feel with its Loong Face aesthetics, introducing a new olive green color option and an optional Liuguang Silver finish. The olive green features a low saturation, high-reflectivity metallic paint that produces a gradient effect of green transitioning to gold, complemented by a floating black roof.
In terms of intelligence, the Tang L has undergone a major OTA upgrade for its intelligent cabin and assisted driving systems. The whole series comes standard with the advanced version of the intelligent cockpit—DiLink 150—which has been comprehensively renewed. For assisted driving, the Tang L is equipped with the Eye of the Gods B—Laser-assisted Driving Version (DiPilot 300), enhancing the “park-to-park” navigation assistance feature.
BYD Tang L introduces innovations in smart ecosystems, collaborating with numerous partners to build a “People x Car x Home” ecosystem. Users can understand vehicle status and remotely control home appliances through the smart screen; in-car voice control operates home devices; the “Home Mode” is automatically activated. BYD also offers intelligent child safety seats, smart pet safety seats, smart eye masks, neck massagers, game controllers, and the Insta360 action cam, all of which seamlessly integrate with the car’s system.
