What Happened
The Tang EV is a full-size battery-powered SUV in BYD's Dynasty Network, priced between 239,900 and 309,900 CNY. It uses the second-generation Blade Battery with CTB integration, available in 105.79 kWh and 130.15 kWh capacities. Depending on configuration, CLTC range is 800 km, 850 km, or 950 km. FinDreams Power supplies the drive motors, which come in three configurations.
- 300 kW rear-wheel drive
- 370 kW rear-wheel drive
- 215 kW front + 370 kW rear, combined 585 kW, 0–100 km/h in 3.9 s
5 minutes
On the 1000V platform supporting up to 10C charging; 10–97% takes 9 minutes. BYD's flash charging network covered 321 Chinese cities at launch.
- 1 high-sensitivity lidar from RoboSense
- 11 smart-driving cameras (front multi-vision, surround, side, rear)
- 3 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic sensors
- Nvidia Orin-X computing chip with 254 TOPS
Inside, DiLink 6.0 runs the show, weaving in the Qianwen and DeepSeek large language models behind an AI assistant the automaker calls Didi Xia. Every trim gets a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 17.3-inch 3K center display — Desay SV builds the cluster and passenger-facing units, Tianma the center screen. Step up to the higher trims or the Dynasty Edition and a second screen appears for the front passenger (also 12.3 inches), joined by a 17.3-inch overhead screen for back-seat riders sourced from Haiwei Tech and a 50-inch augmented-reality head-up display. Driver assistance covers both highway and urban route guidance — ramp entries, sharp curves, construction-zone detours, unprotected left turns, roundabouts, reading traffic signals, and yielding to pedestrians and cyclists — along with automated, memory, and remote-controlled parking, with AEB and TBC's high-speed blowout stabilizer standing by.
Devialet audio starts at 20 speakers, rises to 25 on the 950 km RWD and 850 km AWD Flagships, and tops out at 27 speakers with 7.1.4 channels, 2,200 W peak power, and Dolby Atmos on the Dynasty Edition. The cabin also has physical smart buttons, a fridge, and front-row zero-gravity seats. The CTB-based chassis uses front aluminum double-wishbone and rear five-link suspension. Rear-wheel steering is standard with ±7 degrees of angle, a front-wheel angle up to 41.99 degrees, and a turning radius of 5.2 meters on mid-to-high trims and about 5.7 meters on the entry Honor Edition, enabling crab-walk mode. The Honor Edition gets DiSus-C damping; the Flagship and Dynasty trims get DiSus-A dual-chamber air suspension with springs from Baolong Tech. Bosch supplies the IPB braking system. BYD keeps batteries, motors, and chassis control within affiliates FinDreams Battery and FinDreams Power, while Nvidia, RoboSense, and Bosch support the smart-driving stack.
Previously from BYD
BYD has previously pledged full damage coverage for Urban NOA and Intelligent Parking, becoming the world's first automaker to offer such dual ADAS coverage in China. The pledge reflects the company's wider push into advanced driver-assistance technology.

Why this matters
The Tang EV shows how BYD is mixing in-house battery and motor production with outside partners such as Nvidia, RoboSense, and Bosch for smart-driving hardware. For Chinese buyers, the SUV promises a 10-to-70% charge in about five minutes at launch across a network spanning 321 cities. BYD says this 'core proprietary technology plus collaborative development of key hardware' model is becoming its norm.
