Design & Presence

The exterior mixes SUV stature with a modern, confident face that reads bigger than its rivals; the stance is purposeful rather than flashy. At nearly 4,970 mm long and weighing around 2,630 kg, it feels substantial on the road and carries a claimed top speed of 190 km/h. Current version is the BYD Tang Tang Electric Automatic All-Wheel Drive, 517 HP, 24 kWh, 530 km, which underlines the model's performance intentions.

Interior & Usability

The cabin is a modern take on practicality with large touchscreen surfaces, a clear driver display and physical controls where they matter, giving a premium feel without being overcomplicated. It seats 7 in a three-row layout; the second row offers adult-friendly space while the third is best for children or short trips. Materials are improved over earlier BYD models with soft-touch surfaces and sensible switchgear, though some trim areas still show cost-saving joins.

Space & Everyday Practicality

With all three rows in use the boot is a tight 235 litres, enough for a couple of suitcases but not a family holiday's worth of gear, while folding seats expands capacity to a practical 1,655 litres. The stated payload of 575 kg means the Tang can carry five adults and luggage without being overloaded, but heavy loads accentuate its mass. At nearly five metres long, urban parking requires attention, yet interior packaging is thoughtful with easy seat access and useful cubby space.

Driving & Handling

Performance is the Tang's headline — the electric AWD system produces 517 hp and 680 Nm, delivering a claimed 0–100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and brisk, linear acceleration in everyday driving. The weight (about 2,630 kg) tames agility, so the car feels more planted than nimble; corners are handled with composure but there's noticeable mass and moderate body roll. Ride comfort is generally assured thanks to a supportive suspension setup that favours stability over sprightliness, making long motorway runs effortless.

Efficiency, Consumption & Range

Officially the Tang returns about 24 kWh/100 km with an advertised range of up to 530 km, figures that translate into long daily trips without constant stops for public charging. In practice, heavy loads, high-speed motorway running and cold weather raise consumption, so real-world range will vary below the headline number on demanding routes. Rapid charging capability depends on specification and market, so prospective buyers should check local charging speeds to understand typical refill times.

Assistance & Infotainment

The Tang brings a feature-rich tech package with a large central touchscreen, digital driver display and smartphone integration, presenting navigation and media in a familiar, responsive layout. Modern driver aids — adaptive cruise control, lane keeping and automatic emergency braking — are included and tuned toward convenience rather than intrusive intervention. Over-the-air updates and connected services are part of the ecosystem, though some menus and voice recognition lag the sharpest systems from premium European rivals.

Who is it for?

The BYD Tang suits families and tech-focused buyers who want a seven-seat electric SUV with near-sports-car acceleration and useful long-range capability, blending space with performance. Those who prioritise maximum boot space with all seven seats occupied or the lightest, most manoeuvrable urban crossover may find compromises, but buyers seeking pace, kit and range in one package will find plenty to like. Overall, the Tang is aimed at people who want an electric flagship with strong value and on-road presence rather than a minimalist people-mover.
