Chronology

The BYD Tang is a plug-in hybrid Crossover sport utility vehicle (CUV) developed by BYD Auto based on the BYD S6. Its 18.4 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack delivers an all-electric range of 80 km (50 mi). The plug-in SUV gets its name from the Tang Dynasty, known as the most prosperous of all the great Chinese Dynasties. The Tang was introduced at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show.[1]

The Tang ranked as the top selling plug-in passenger car in China in 2016,[2] and as the world's top selling plug-in hybrid in 2016, and the world's third best-selling plug-in car that year.[3] Since inception, over 50,000 units have been sold in China through February 2017.[2][4][5]

Specifications

The Tang is powered by a 2.0-liter internal combustion engine which delivers 151 kW (202 hp) and 320 N⋅m (240 lbf⋅ft) of torque; and two electric motors, front and rear, each rated at 110 kW (150 hp) and 250 N⋅m (180 lbf⋅ft) in the entry-level Tang, and 300 N⋅m (220 lbf⋅ft) in the performance model. Total system output is 371 kW (498 hp) and 820 N⋅m (600 lbf⋅ft) for the entry-level model, and 411 kW (551 hp) and 870 N⋅m (640 lbf⋅ft) for the concept performance model. The latter accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and the entry level in 4.9 seconds. The Tang is fitted with BYD's second generation Dual Mode (DM) system which allows drivers to switch between all-electric mode (EV mode) and hybrid electric mode (HEV mode).[1] This vehicle is an electric version of the BYD S7.

Sales

Retail deliveries of the BYD Tang began in China in June 2015.[6] The plug-in SUV pricing starts at CN¥300,000 (~ US$48,000) before any applicable government incentives.[7]

A total of 18,375 units were sold in China in 2015,[4] and with 31,405 units delivered in 2016, the Tang listed as the top selling plug-in electric car in China that year.[2] The BYD Tang also ranked as the world's best-selling plug-in hybrid and as the third best-selling plug-in car in 2016, after the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model S.[3] As of December 2016, the BYD Tang ranked as the world's all-time tenth most sold plug-in electric car.[3] Tang sales in China totaled 1,297 units during the first two months of 2017.[5] Cumulative sales since inception totaled 51,077 units in China through February 2017.[2][4][5]
