The BYD Tang is a plug-in hybrid Crossover sport utility vehicle (CUV) developed by BYD 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 Tang was introduced at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show[1] and was produced to at least 2018.

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.
